- Monitor app health and performance across critical People workflows, triage incidents with urgency and rigour, and implement observability best practices — including logs and metrics — so issues are detected and resolved before they impact employees
- Build complex reports, dashboards, and CRM Analytics to help the People team track key metrics like case resolution times, employee sentiment, and service delivery performance — translating data into actionable leadership insights
- Work alongside the broader People Solutions team to translate business requirements into a prioritised Salesforce product roadmap, driving initiatives from discovery through deployment and ensuring our platform evolves ahead of Stripe's growth
- Partner with Global People Operations, People partners, wider People team, Corporate Technology, and other stakeholders to translate complex business needs into scalable technical requirements — setting clear expectations, managing project timelines, and escalating risks proactively so that pressure never becomes blockage
