Who we are

About the team

The Global Sales Enablement Team is responsible for partnering with cross-functional teams to equip our sales organizations with the skills, tools, and knowledge they need to perform at their best. We are currently leading one of the most significant transformations in Stripe's Sales history — reshaping how Sales Development operates through the adoption of AI-powered tooling and redesigning the SDR's role in driving pipeline quality. This transformation spans multiple geographies, sales motions, and hundreds of sellers. The stakes are high, the pace is fast, and the change management challenge is real.

What you’ll do

As a Sales Development Change Management Specialist, you will own the strategy and execution of our global change management and communications program for the Sales Development transformation. You sit at the intersection of strategy, content, and field engagement — responsible for ensuring that complex, high-priority initiatives are adopted at pace and land durably in the field. This is not a support role. You own the change narrative, the communication strategy, and the measurement of adoption. You'll partner with senior program leadership, subject matter experts, and regional enablement leads to drive consistent, high-impact transformation across a global sales organization.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end change management program — from preparing the organization for change through launch, adoption, reinforcement, and measurement

• Develop and execute a global communications strategy

• Own the end-to-end change management program — from preparing the organization for change through launch, adoption, reinforcement, and measurement

• Develop and execute a global communications strategy that ensures sellers understand what is changing, why it matters, and what it means for them — sequenced to land with impact and without creating unnecessary noise

• Write and distribute seller-facing communications, executive briefings, and stakeholder updates; own the core program narrative throughout the transformation lifecycle

• Distill complex program initiatives into clear, compelling, sales-ready content — translating what engineers and product teams build into what sellers and managers need to hear

• Build and maintain a strategic communications plan in partnership with cross-functional teams, including Product, Engineering, and SD Operations

• A data-driven mindset with experience using adoption metrics, field feedback, and performance data to measure, iterate, and improve

• ProSci certification or equivalent change management credential

• Experience supporting the adoption of AI-powered or emerging technology tooling within a sales or GTM organization

• Background in building and scaling sales communications programs in a global SaaS or fintech environment
