You don't ship a prototype; you ship a platform.\n\n - Leading as an Owner: Taking end-to-end accountability for the reliability and impact of the systems you build, including their correctness in production, their adoption by downstream teams, and the business outcomes they enable.\n\n - Building for Leverage: Designing platforms and tooling that multiply the output of the broader team, reducing the AI infrastructure expertise required for CUJ teams to ship GenAI-powered features.\n\n - Collaborating Across Disciplines: Working fluidly with ML engineers, data engineers, data scientists, and product managers to align on model selection, evaluation standards, prompt strategies, and consumption patterns.\n\n - Raising the Standard: Helping establish best practices for GenAI system development, responsible AI patterns, and operational health, and mentoring teammates at all levels to do the same.\n\n - Being passionate about the work you are doing and contributing positively to Strava's inclusive and collaborative team culture and values.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE TEAM:\n\n - 5+ years of experience building and operating complex, production AI or backend systems at scale, with a track record of decomposing large technical problems into well-scoped execution across teams.\n\n - Demonstrated experience building AI platform tooling or developer-facing infrastructure ideally for LLM or ML systems with a strong instinct for API design, versioning, and self-serve patterns.\n\n - Hands-on experience building with large language models in production: agentic workflows, prompt and context engineering, RAG architectures, embedding pipelines, fine-tuning workflows, or LLM evaluation frameworks and tools like Langchain .\n\n - Proficiency in search systems (Elasticsearch/OpenSearch, Vector Search, etc)\n\n - Proficiency in backend service development on cloud environments (AWS preferred), using Python, Go. Solid understanding of distributed systems and containerized infrastructure (Kubernetes, Docker).\n\n - Strong technical leadership: ability to lead multi-team projects, define technical direction, and grow engineers at multiple levels.\n\n - Deep curiosity about the evolving GenAI landscape: model capabilities, agent frameworks, multimodal systems: and strong judgment on where and how to apply them to real product problems.\n\n - Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to align cross-functional partners around technical direction and build organizational trust in the platforms your team ships.\n   \n   \n\nFor information on benefits, please click here https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTkFMPz3eCjd0FgQ28VWnK4d2BEnzGyaSFGwATR-dQdBb9HxZgay6kboqnT0-V-qaBDzSvYIzI76vT5/pub.\n\n\n\n\nWHY JOIN US?\n\n\n\nMovement brings us together.

As Strava scales internationally and prepares for life as a public company, this role owns the integrity and scalability of global payroll across all entities and jurisdictions.\n\nReporting to the Assistant Controller, you will own and run Strava’s global payroll function end-to-end across the US and EMEA entities, leading a globally-distributed team. You’ll build the SOX-ready controls, processes, documentation, and reporting that public-company readiness demands, partner closely with People Operation, Legal, and FP&A, and own the payroll and equity-compensation implications of the company’s path to IPO. This is a build mandate, not a maintenance role: the EMEA payroll platform is newly in place, the controls work is ahead of you, and leadership is invested in getting it right.\n\n\n\nWe follow a flexible hybrid model that translates to more than half of your time on-site in our San Francisco or Dublin office, three days per week.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU’LL DO\n\n - Own and run Strava’s global payroll function end-to-end across the US and EMEA, ensuring accurate pay, tax withholding, and statutory filings in every jurisdiction where Strava operates.\n\n - Lead and develop two Senior Payroll Analysts across San Francisco and France, setting clear expectations and supporting their growth across a significant timezone gap.\n\n - Build and own SOX-ready payroll controls, processes, and documentation; partnering with the Assistant Controller on audit support and public-company readiness.\n\n - Own the payroll side of equity compensation as Strava moves toward IPO, including RSU vesting, ESPP, and mobility/shadow-payroll implications, in partnership with Legal and Equity.\n\n - Partner with the GL team on payroll journal entries, accruals, and reconciliations, ensuring a clean and timely month-end close.\n\n - Build strong cross-functional partnerships, working closely with People Operations and Legal teams, and managing external payroll vendors, with the judgment to know when to push and when to take a diplomatic approach to keep relationships and outcomes on track.\n\n - Communicate with clarity and impact across the function and up to leadership, synthesizing complex payroll matters into clear recommendations, weekly updates, SOX documentation, and standard operating procedures, and representing payroll confidently in both written and verbal settings.\n\n - Run payroll as a measured function: build and deliver regular operations reporting (accuracy, cycle time, exceptions, compliance SLAs) to Controllership and Finance leadership.\n\n - Drive process improvement and automation across payroll operations, including practical use of AI tooling to improve efficiency and quality.\n\n - Manage international payroll vendors and lead system implementations and optimizations as the function scales.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU’LL BRING TO THE TEAM\n\n - Substantial experience owning global, multi-country payroll end-to-end as a function owner, across multiple entities and currencies. Direct experience with UK, France, Germany, and Ireland payroll alongside US is important.\n\n - Experience leading and developing payroll staff, ideally a distributed team across timezones.\n\n - Hands-on depth with payroll processing systems, plus experience managing international payroll vendors and running system implementations.\n\n - Deep multi-jurisdiction payroll compliance knowledge across the US and EMEA, including payroll tax, statutory filings, and FLSA, with ownership of SOX payroll controls and audit support.\n\n - A track record of building SOX-ready payroll controls and processes, not just operating within them.\n\n - Experience through a company’s transition to public ownership, including the payroll and equity-compensation implications of an IPO.\n\n - A clear understanding of the payroll/GL interface — journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, and the close dependency with the GL team.\n\n - A measured, data-driven approach to running payroll, with experience building operations reporting from scratch for finance leadership.\n\n - Demonstrated, functional use of AI tools (such as Anthropic’s Claude) to make meaningful improvements to payroll efficiency or quality.\n\n - Experience taking payroll from a startup operating model to public-company grade, or CPP certification, is a plus.\n\n\n\nFor more information on benefits, please click here for info on San Francisco benefits https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTkFMPz3eCjd0FgQ28VWnK4d2BEnzGyaSFGwATR-dQdBb9HxZgay6kboqnT0-V-qaBDzSvYIzI76vT5/pub and here for Dublin, Ireland benefits https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRfyeXFRTBGH72fb6cSe5VkQ8IcABP8GEEw_2IMKmKmV4aYvonxCdoWDuxfHUgXt2mX_9Ps0U52tc0R/pub.\n\n\n\n\nWHY JOIN US?\n\n\n\nMovement brings us together.

With over 200 million athletes in more than 185 countries, it’s more than tracking workouts—it’s where people make progress together, from new habits to new personal bests. No matter your sport or how you track it, Strava’s got you covered. Find your crew, crush your goals, and make every effort count. Start your journey https://www.strava.com/subscription with Strava today.\n\nOur mission is simple: to motivate people to live their best active lives. We believe in the power of movement to connect and drive people forward.\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THIS ROLE\n\nStrava's San Francisco office is home to some of the product teams driving the company's most critical growth areas. The SF design portfolio spans some of Strava's highest-priority product surfaces — from athlete engagement and growth, to commercial products and platform trust — areas that are central to Strava's commercial growth and long-term athlete retention.\n\nAs Director, Product Design, you'll lead design across these verticals, owning design direction, setting the craft standard, and developing a team of 5 designers. You'll work in close partnership with PM and Engineering leaders, hold a strong design perspective in product strategy conversations, and be a senior voice in Strava's global Design org, reporting directly to the Senior Director of Product Design.\n\n\n\nWe follow a flexible hybrid model that translates to more than half of your time on-site in our San Francisco office, three days per week.\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU'LL DO\n\n - Own design direction and quality across a portfolio of SF-based product verticals spanning athlete engagement, growth, and platform integrity — driving design strategy and key decisions at the vertical and feature level\n\n - Stay actively in the work: give precise, substantive craft feedback, engage in design decisions at the detail level, and set the standard through your own taste and judgment — not just through oversight\n\n - Manage and develop a team of 5 Product Designers, with focus on craft growth, career development, and raising the quality of their output through consistent, high-quality coaching\n\n - Partner with PM and Engineering leadership to shape product strategy — contributing early, holding a point of view, and ensuring design is a meaningful input to decisions\n\n - Lead design reviews and establish what \"good\" looks like on this team — through feedback culture, explicit standards, and your own example\n\n - Contribute to Strava's design system, shared standards, and cross-functional design culture\n\n - Represent your teams' work and design perspective to the Senior Director of Product Design and the broader Design leadership org\n\n\n\n\nWHAT YOU'LL BRING TO THE TEAM\n\n - Director-level (or equivalent) experience in Product Design, with a track record of owning design direction across multiple products and managing a team of designers\n\n - Ability to set and articulate a clear design vision — not just reacting to what's in front of you, but establishing a point of view on where the product should go and bringing others along with it\n\n - Hands-on maker: still in the work at a high level — able to give precise, substantive craft feedback, engage in design decisions at the detail level, and set the bar through your own taste and judgment, not just management\n\n - Demonstrated ability to raise craft and quality across a team — you develop others and build a culture where quality is expected, named, and consistently raised\n\n - Strong cross-functional partnership with PM and Engineering at a senior level; you've influenced major product decisions and know how to hold a perspective with senior stakeholders\n\n - Consumer product design experience at meaningful scale — you've worked on products that real people depend on, and that responsibility shows in how you work\n\n - A clear design philosophy and the ability to communicate it; you bring people along with your thinking, not just your output\n\n - Based in San Francisco\n\n\n\nExperience with AI-powered product features, health and fitness products, Trust & Safety or policy-adjacent surfaces, growth or B2B product design, or scaling a design function within a growing company is a plus.\n\n\n\nFor information on benefits, please click here https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTkFMPz3eCjd0FgQ28VWnK4d2BEnzGyaSFGwATR-dQdBb9HxZgay6kboqnT0-V-qaBDzSvYIzI76vT5/pub.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHY JOIN US?\n\n\n\nMovement brings us together.
