What you’ll do
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. 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.
Responsibilities
Set and execute a multi-year strategy and roadmap for Terminal hardware across Stripe-built devices, third-party devices, accessories, and emerging form factors. 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. Define product requirements, user journeys, and acceptance criteria for end-to-end hardware products from concept through validation, launch, and post-launch iteration. Partner with hardware, firmware, software, and quality engineering teams to guide development and deliver high-quality device experiences. Work with external OEM, ODM, and technology partners to evaluate product capabilities, define joint roadmaps, resolve technical issues, and deliver hardware. 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. 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. Engage directly with Terminal users, sales teams, and partners to understand in-person payments workflows, product gaps, and opportunities to improve the device experience. Establish success metrics for hardware products and partnerships, using customer feedback, adoption, device reliability, support signals, and financial performance to inform decisions. 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.
