This role is a critical pillar of Global People Operations, focusing on complex operational challenges and continuous improvement across the employee lifecycle. You will serve as a critical operational stakeholder enabling HR transformation by ensuring seamless support, optimizing processes with data-driven insights, and collaborating closely with our Centers of Excellence (COEs).

What you’ll do

As a proactive, data-driven, and systems-oriented member of the Global People Operations team, you will play a central role in maintaining an accurate HR operations infrastructure, facilitating critical employee lifecycle processes, and driving operational excellence to further delight our employees and partners.

Process Optimization and Data-Driven Improvement: Bring innovative, data-driven ideas and recommend enhancements to existing HR processes and workflows. Interpret data (e.g., case volumes, resolution times) and formulate insights to proactively drive continuous operational improvements that enhance the overall employee experience.
HR Transformation and Program Delivery: Serve as a key operational stakeholder and contributor to significant HR transformation initiatives, major system updates, and the delivery of critical, ongoing HR programs across the employee lifecycle (e.g., onboarding, global mobility, offboarding).
Stakeholder and COE Partnership: Work closely with cross-functional teams and Centers of Excellence (COEs), including Compensation, Benefits, Employment Legal, and Employee Relations, to ensure operational needs are met, processes align, and smooth handoffs occur across the organization.
HRIS Management and Integrity: Maintain the accuracy and integrity of our HR Information System (Workday) by accurately entering employee change transactions manually and through bulk data uploads, ensuring a robust and reliable foundation for all HR data.
System Testing and Documentation: Participate in end-to-end, user acceptance, and other testing of new/existing processes or workflows. Create and update Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that document workflows from end to end, encompassing all system interactions and cross-functional handoffs for clarity and efficiency.
Vendor Oversight: Assist with vendor oversight and management for operational services related to your areas of expertise, ensuring service level agreements (SLAs) are met and performance standards are maintained.
Navigating Ambiguity: Operate effectively in ambiguous situations using your technical expertise, Stripe’s operating principles, and stakeholder perspectives to determine the best course of action and communicate clearly about systemic blockers.
