<h3>About the team</h3>
<p>Stripe Terminal helps businesses extend their online presence into the physical world. Our mission is to make it as easy for businesses to accept in-person payments as Stripe has made it to accept payments online.</p>
<p>Terminal provides an integrated in-person payments platform spanning software, payment processing, device fleet management, and hardware. Our hardware portfolio includes Stripe-designed readers and accessories as well as devices from third-party hardware partners. Together, these products enable businesses to build reliable, differentiated in-person payment experiences across a broad range of use cases, countries, and operating environments.</p>
<h2>What you’ll do</h2>
<p>We’re looking for an experienced Product Manager to build the strategy, development, and expansion of Terminal’s hardware portfolio. This role will work across both first-party and third-party hardware, helping define the multi-year roadmap for the devices, accessories, and partner ecosystem that power Terminal.</p>
<p>You will partner closely with hardware engineering, firmware and software engineering, design, operations, logistics, partnerships, sales, finance, legal, and regional teams. This is a highly cross-functional role for someone who can connect customer needs, technical constraints, business strategy, and execution across user experience, device capabilities, cost, quality, reliability, supply, and time to market.</p>
<h3>Responsibilities</h3>
<ul>
<li>Set and execute a multi-year strategy and roadmap for Terminal hardware across Stripe-built devices, third-party devices, accessories, and emerging form factors.</li>
<li>Develop a clear point of view on where Stripe should build, partner, or expand its hardware portfolio to address customer needs, competitive gaps, and global market opportunities.</li>
<li>Define product requirements, user journeys, and acceptance criteria for end-to-end hardware products from concept through validation, launch, and post-launch iteration.</li>
<li>Partner with hardware, firmware, software, and quality engineering teams to guide development and deliver high-quality device experiences.</li>
<li>Work with external OEM, ODM, and technology partners to evaluate product capabilities, define joint roadmaps, resolve technical issues, and deliver hardware.</li>
<li>Lead the continued global expansion of Terminal’s third-party hardware portfolio, including device availability, local payment-method support, certifications, distribution, pricing, and launch readiness.</li>
<li>Develop and lead the evaluation process for additional third-party hardware providers and build business cases for new device categories, accessories, connectivity, and specialized use cases.</li>
<li>Engage directly with Terminal users, sales teams, and partners to understand in-person payments workflows, product gaps, and opportunities to improve the device experience.</li>
<li>Establish success metrics for hardware products and partnerships, using customer feedback, adoption, device reliability, support signals, and financial performance to inform decisions.</li>
<li>Communicate product strategy, priorities, risks, and trade-offs clearly to cross-functional partners and Stripe leadership, traveling occasionally to partner sites or Stripe offices, including APAC.</li>
