About the team
As the Stripe user base and global footprint grow dramatically, we have distinctly unique support problems resulting from both our type of scale and the type of businesses we partner with. The Stripe Delivery Center (SDC) provides operational leverage and expands the Stripe portfolio of operational capabilities to support the scaled needs for external users and internal Stripe teams. Our support experience leverages deep understanding of our products, the financial industry and money movement, and our customers' products and users, and requires us to invest significant resources into building this experience ourselves with talented teams of Stripes.
What you'll do
As a Head of Learning and Quality, SDC, you will be responsible for building the strategy for both the spaces of Training, Learning, and Development and Quality, hiring and growing the teams, executing per plans, and playing a critical role in building a world-class organization that learns continuously and delivers excellent quality output.
For Learning and Enablement, you will ensure a high and consistent bar for learning and development across all stages of the employee lifecycle, from onboarding to professional development that supports Stripe's broader strategies. You will work closely with Ops leaders from different lines of business and central Enablement and Training teams to customize training needs and build a robust training program that will support SDC scale and growth.
For Quality, you will need to collaborate effectively with Global Central Learning team to build the relevant quality audit frameworks that will be applied for different lines of business, plan and hire quality analysts, perform rigorous quality analysis, share findings and insights, and work with Ops leaders across the organization to keep pushing the bar on overall quality. This role will also be pivotal in building robust feedback frameworks for product, process, and workflow changes that improve the overall performance of the business.
