Who we are

About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies—from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach while doing the most important work of your career.

About the team

Our APAC Marketing mission is to engage priority audiences through impactful and relevant marketing campaigns and events, to drive growth in adoption of Stripe’s solution offerings across the region. Our Greater China Marketing mission is to partner closely with the Go-To-Market (GTM) organization, including Sales, Sales Development, Solutions Architects, Partnerships, and others. The team’s focus is to grow and acquire the accounts across segments that are global expanders (cross border organizations with headquarters in China), and engage with audiences at each stage of the customer lifecycle journey. As a member of the Greater China team, this is a great opportunity to build and have an impact on the business.

What you’ll do

You’ll be part of the Greater China team and be able to set our marketing strategy for startup and platform users, as well as be hands-on, and develop a strong trusted relationship working hand-in-hand with sales teams to drive successful user outcomes. As the marketing manager, you’ll own the field marketing function for startup and platform and will set and execute a marketing strategy that delivers high-quality leads, sales pipeline, and ultimately revenue.  You will be a self starter, working closely alongside Product Marketing, Sales Development, Demand Generation and Comms and other marketing specialist contractor resources. 

Responsibilities

• Craft and lead the Greater China startup and platform marketing strategy, owning end-to-end field marketing programs to support early-stage, high-growth startups and platform partners across the region.
• Drive measurable impact across the full sales funnel, owning pipeline contribution, customer acquisition, expansion, and long-term engagement for the startup segment.
• Build deep, trusted partnerships with the Greater China Startup Sales, Platform Sales, SDR, and Solutions Architecture teams, working closely with sales leadership to co-develop GTM plans and accelerate pipeline creation.
• Partner closely with APAC Demand Generation and Product Marketing to refine startup-specific targeting and segmentation, and to scope, produce, and localize compelling content, narratives, and programs tailored to founders, technical decision-makers, and operators.
• Define and execute full-funnel marketing motions, including digital and content-led programs, founder communities, partner-led demand generation, sales prospecting initiatives (including ABM for scaled startups), webinars, virtual and in-person field events, and selective third-party conferences.
• Act as a strategic advisor to Chinese startups going global, translating Stripe’s platform, APIs, and ecosystem value into clear, practical narratives that resonate with local founder personas and international expansion needs.
• Track, analyze, and communicate program performance with rigor, continuously optimizing for efficiency, scale, and impact, while testing new approaches and contributing scalable best practices to the broader APAC and global startup marketing playbook.
• Bring creativity and strong market intuition to identify emerging startup trends, new founder communities, and innovative ways to position Stripe as the default financial infrastructure partner for Chinese startups building for the world.
