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 South East Asia (SEA) Marketing mission is to partner closely with the Go-To-Market (GTM) organization—including Sales, Sales Development, Solutions Architects, Partnerships, and Policy teams—to accelerate Stripe's growth across SEA's diverse and fast-growing markets. SEA is one of the most dynamic opportunities for digital commerce and financial infrastructure globally, spanning a rapidly expanding digital economy across Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam. As the SEA Marketing Lead, you will build and own the regional marketing function at one of the most consequential moments in Stripe's APAC expansion.

What you'll do

As the South East Asia Marketing Lead, you will own an end-to-end marketing strategy for SEA, driving pipeline, brand awareness, and revenue contribution across the region's priority markets and segments. You will operate as the SEA marketing owner, partnering closely with Sales, SDRs, Solutions Architects, Partnerships, and Comms to design and execute programs that resonate with the region's unique market dynamics—from Singapore-headquartered enterprises expanding globally to high-growth digital startups and cross-border commerce players across emerging SEA markets.

Responsibilities

• Develop and own Stripe's South East Asia marketing strategy, aligning programs to regional GTM priorities across key markets including Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Korea.

• Drive measurable full-funnel impact—pipeline creation, deal acceleration, customer acquisition, expansion, and long-term engagement—across the entire customer lifecycle journey for target segments and verticals in SEA.

• Build deep, trusted partnerships with SEA Sales, SDR, and Solutions Architecture teams; co-develop market-specific GTM plans with sales leadership and ensure disciplined pipeline follow-through.

• Partner with APAC Demand Generation, Product Marketing, and Comms to develop locally relevant messaging, content, and campaigns tailored to executive buyers, technical decision-makers, and line-of-business leaders across SEA markets.

• Drive Stripe thought leadership and brand differentiation, positioning the team as a strategic partner to internal and external stakeholders.

• Design and execute field marketing programs—including account-based marketing (ABM), executive roundtables, industry forums, third-party conferences, and curated field events—at both regional and market level.

• Translate Stripe's platform capabilities—payments, financial infrastructure, APIs, and ecosystem partnerships—into locally differentiated value propositions that address SEA-specific trends, regulatory environments, and business models (e.g., super apps, digital wallets, cross-border commerce, embedded finance).

• Build and nurture strategic regional ecosystems, including technology partners, industry associations, VCs, accelerators, and media platforms, to expand Stripe's reach and influence across target segments and verticals.

• Track, analyze, and communicate program performance with rigor; continuously optimize programs for efficiency, scale, and revenue impact while contributing best practices to the broader APAC and global marketing playbook.

• Surface market intelligence on emerging industry trends, competitive dynamics, and whitespace opportunities to inform product positioning, GTM strategy, and leadership decisions for SEA.
