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.

Our Editorial Team

Stripe’s Editorial team is premised on two notions: that ideas are essential ingredients in fueling economic progress; and that many of the best ideas are under valued. Works in Progress, our magazine of underrated schemes to improve the world, recently branched out into print subscriptions. Stripe Press, our in-house imprint canonizes ideas for Progress—new and old—in beautiful editions. The team recently celebrated one million books sold.

One consequence of building infrastructure at Stripe’s scale is that we see the economy forming in real time. New categories appear before they have names. New business models take shape quietly, then suddenly feel inevitable. Patterns emerge in how people build, sell, hire, and get paid. These signals matter — and sharing them helps policymakers, business leaders, media and the public better understand where the economy is headed.

What you’ll do

We are looking for an entrepreneurial, analytical, curious data writer and editor to join Stripe’s editorial team. In this role, you will partner closely with Stripe’s chief economist to explore datasets that cover millions of companies and trillions of dollars of transactions, and uncover macroeconomic trends, industry shifts, and pockets of innovation. You’ll turn them into enthralling writing for internet audiences including startup founders, other business leaders, policymakers, and media. You’ll distribute your stories across lots of channels, including new ones you’ll run (e.g. Substack), traditional media, social media (you’ll probably tweet a lot yourself), and keynotes delivered by our founders. You'll use LLMs and other AI tools to rapidly prototype analysis, writing, and visuals. 

Responsibilities

• Work with Stripe’s data science team to find and interpret signals in Stripe’s data that illuminate emerging trends, new categories, and structural shifts in the global economy.
• Scour publicly available macroeconomic data to weave into stories about trends we’re seeing on Stripe.
• Own data stories end-to-end — from forming the hypothesis, to exploring and analyzing data, to shaping the narrative, visualization, and final content, all partnering closely with our head of economic research.
• Turn complex datasets into clear, elegant visualizations that make ideas legible and persuasive.
• Publish original data-driven editorial, and help ensure the strongest ideas travel — through social, press, partnerships, and speaking platforms.
• Run Stripe Economics, and launch other new editorial channels (e.g. Substack, Twitter) to disseminate data stories and build online communities around them.
• Work closely with the Economics, Data Science, and Policy teams at Stripe to refine questions, validate findings, and uphold a high bar for rigor.
• Collaborate with external researchers, academics, and journalists to extend the reach and impact of Stripe’s economic insights.

Who You Are

You're highly entrepreneurial, enjoying devising and launching new ideas, and relentlessly improving what we already do. You have a knack for turning raw data into a clear insight, a memorable chart, and a story people want to read. You bring taste, curiosity, and a strong editorial point of view, alongside the technical ability to work with data. You have a journalist's instincts — drawn to early signals, skeptical of easy narratives, and motivated by explaining not just what is happening, but why it matters. You care about craft, write well, and enjoy working across disciplines to turn complex systems into clear, rigorous stories.

Minimum requirements

• Experience working with large datasets and producing accurate, public-facing analysis.
• 5 years of experience publishing original work (e.g. running a Substack/newsletter, or writing within a newsroom or media organization).
• Exceptional writer across short and long formats. 

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with data science tools e.g. R, python, or equivalent.
• A strong and proven editorial point of view.
• Experience in a fast-paced newsroom or editorial environment.
• Deeply engaged with online discourse, with an established presence on social media or track record of building an audience for your writing.
• Experience creating data visualizations for publication.
• A track record of developing new and creative content formats.
• Experience leading projects and partnering closely with cross-functional teams.

About the team

The Communications team builds Stripe’s brand and influence across the world. We’re looking for someone to join our small—but high-leverage—Corporate Communications team, which shapes and protects Stripe’s reputation across the financial, policy, and global business communities. 

What you’ll do

We’re looking for an experienced communicator to build and lead a proactive corporate storytelling program. You will be the connective tissue across the business and policy audiences—building the campaigns, relationships, and moments that shape how Stripe is understood by the companies that rely on our products the most, and by those who write the rules of the economy Stripe is helping to build.

You'll lead Stripe's most influential reputational programs globally: high-profile events, executive media and speaking opportunities, and proactive campaigns that demonstrate Stripe's economic impact. At the same time, you'll work closely with Stripe's policy team—advocating for improvements in financial policy and regulation, while also shaping our response to complex policy issues.

Responsibilities

• Demonstrate Stripe's economic impact. Build proactive corporate campaigns around Stripe’s role creating economic opportunity. Lead communications for high-profile events, executive interviews, and public appearances.
• Own Stripe's reputational storytelling globally. Design and execute programs that build Stripe's profile—and trust—among the core business audience as well as policymakers and the Washington press corps.
• Build the next chapter of Stripe's policy communications function. Partner closely with Stripe's policy team to develop a clear point-of-view on industry, regulatory, and policy-related topics, and amplify it through the right channels.

• Provide executive counsel. Serve as a trusted advisor to senior executives on communications strategy. Bring clear judgment to ambiguous situations, help Stripe navigate the moments it didn't anticipate, and help it seize the ones it did.

Who you are

We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. In recent years, our hiring has been 50/50 split between top comms pros and people without any such background, including several former founders. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum requirements

• A superlative writer with a proven ability to create clear, compelling narratives around complex, high-stakes topics
• Exceptional judgment in ambiguous, high-pressure situations; able to operate with significant autonomy and make consequential decisions quickly
• Fluency in the tech media landscape—including an existing network of relationships with reporters, editors, and influencers in tech policy and business press
• Experience collaborating closely with policy, legal, and senior executive stakeholders
• Creative flair and an aversion to the hackneyed and obvious; a high bar for what a communications program can and should achieve
• An entrepreneurial streak; someone who is energized by the opportunity to build, not just manage

Preferred qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to design and execute proactive communications campaigns—not just respond to incoming
• A track record of building something from scratch—whether a comms function, a narrative program, or a public-facing campaign—and iterating on it over time
• A feel for independent media—Substack, podcasts, YouTube, influencers on X—and how to use these channels to reach and shape conversations among policymakers and thought leaders

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

The Communications team builds and protects Stripe’s brand and influence across the world. Video and audio are increasingly important tools in shaping the world’s understanding of Stripe and the fantastic companies using our infrastructure to grow—accelerating economies, creating industries, and reinventing business models in the process.

What you’ll do

You’ll be the engine of Stripe’s short-form video strategy, making our content essential viewing for the world's most ambitious founders, operators, developers, and economists. Your mission is to take our rich library of content—from fireside chats with industry leaders to deep dives on the global economy—and distill it into intelligent, substantial clips (on YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and more). This isn't about chasing empty clicks; it's about earning the attention and trust of a highly discerning audience. You will also own our YouTube and Instagram video presence, transforming them into platforms renowned for their insight and quality. You’ll wear a lot of hats: producer, video editor, content commissioner, social media channel strategist, measurement aficionado, and more.

Responsibilities

• Own Stripe’s YouTube channel and Instagram Reels, focused on providing additive insight to our core community of founders, developers, and thinkers.
• Edit clips from Stripe’s long-form content (e.g., Cheeky Pint, firesides from Stripe Sessions and Tours), with an exceptional eye for the most salient moments and nuanced arguments.
• Manage the end-to-end publishing process, including writing sharp, SEO-optimized titles and descriptions that speak to an intelligent audience.
• Continuously run experiments with formats, narrative structures, and editing styles (e.g., archival b-roll and graphic overlays) to discover what resonates most strongly.
• Advise partner teams developing video content (e.g., teams running webinars or events featuring Stripe customers) on how to optimize recordings and edits for the internet.
• Commission and manage the creation of other short-form assets, including high-quality animations and motion graphics, to support product launches and partnership announcements.
• Analyze performance data and qualitative feedback to refine our video strategy, ensuring every piece of content adds value and strengthens our brand.
• Own metrics and reporting across all our social platforms, including LinkedIn, X, and Substack.

Who you are

We're looking for a producer who understands that for Stripe, reach is secondary to resonance. You’re extremely online, and you have an intuitive feel for what drives attention. But you’re also intellectually curious, fluent in the worlds of technology and economics, and have a strong editorial point of view about what makes content truly valuable, not just viral. You’re paranoid about avoiding the malaise of undifferentiated corporate content and have a knack for surfacing the substantive insight in any discussion.

Minimum requirements

• 3+ years experience in video editing with a portfolio of short-form content that showcases an ability to distill complex ideas into concise, compelling narratives. 
• Proficiency with tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or similar.
• Excellent editorial judgment; a "good nose" for the moments, quotes, and ideas that will resonate specifically with founders, developers, and economic thinkers.
• Experience managing creative projects, including commissioning work from external animators, motion designers, and agencies who meet a high bar for quality.
• Deep, hands-on experience managing and growing a YouTube channel and/or Instagram account for a brand that serves a sophisticated, smart audience.

Preferred qualifications

• Experience with AI video workflows (e.g., Descript, OpusClip, CapCut, Runway)
• The ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams, translating complex internal discussions into clear, engaging public-facing content.
• A strong understanding of YouTube SEO and platform algorithms, and how to leverage them to connect substantive content with the right people.

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

The Communications team builds and protects Stripe’s brand and influence across the world. And, sure, that’s what most comms teams do. But we do it with a small team of folks dedicated to creativity and rigor. We’re looking for unconstrained but strategic thinking, not smooth execution of a rote playbook. Design a microsite, launch a podcast. Get to know the products and our users well, and wield that knowledge wisely. Move from idea to execution quickly. Collaborate openly and egolessly. Along the way, provide strategic counsel to Stripe’s executives, help leaders across the company articulate Stripe’s views on fast-changing areas like agentic commerce and crypto, and write a keynote or two. You’ll have a remit with clear goals; how you go about advancing those goals will be up to you.

What you’ll do

You'll make sure the world gets excited about many of the same things we do: great products and what they can enable for businesses. That'll mean different things at different times: creating a compelling demo, writing a memorable speech, prepping a banger podcast, whatever it takes. And “the world” will also mean different things at different times: a set of YC founders, or Fortune 500 executives, or AI-pilled developers, or VPs of monetization, or any number of other audiences. 

In general, we've found that the most important skills you'll use a lot are excellent writing, obsessive attention to detail, first-principles thinking, creativity, and resourcefulness. And, of course, a keen curiosity both for the inner workings of Stripe’s most technical products and for how the broader economic landscape is shifting under everyone’s feet. 

This year, we're hiring differently for some of our permanent roles. Rather than posting narrow job descriptions and screening for exact-fit experience, we want to find people of exceptional caliber and then shape the role to the person. Through the interview process, we’ll work with you to find the right remit for your skills and the right path for your development. We’ll discuss these explicitly and agree on your role together. Regardless of the responsibilities we agree on, we’ll make sure that you touch and lead a wide range of projects in your first few months at Stripe—real work, not training exercises. For folks newer to comms, it’ll be a chance to rapidly cut your teeth; for comms veterans, a chance to learn new skills and gleefully discard old dogma. 

After that, we revisit responsibilities once a year, tied to annual planning. The goal is to have the best people working on the right things—and then to learn and grow together as things quickly evolve. Which, of course, they will. 

Stripe's comms team is small, the surface area of what we work on is enormous, and the company is at the forefront of defining the next decade of global commerce. If the prospect of unconstrained but strategic thinking appeals to you, whatever your background, we hope you’ll join us.

Responsibilities

As we explained above, the exact role and remit may look different depending on your skills, interests, and tenure at Stripe. But here’s a sample set of plausible responsibilities:

• Lead global product communications for one or more of Stripe’s major product areas (e.g., our Money Management suite or our Payments suite). 
• Lead the development, articulation, and testing of Stripe’s long-term public vision and messaging for that product area.
• Design and roll out strategic campaigns that build awareness for Stripe’s products and deepen key audiences’ understanding of exactly what makes those products to businesses (as well as the value they add to the broader ecosystem or economy). 
• Create and edit extremely high quality written materials for Stripe’s biggest moments, including newsroom posts, social content, industry keynotes, top tier media interviews, and more. 
• Work with local and regional comms leads to raise awareness for Stripe globally.
• Develop and maintain relationships with top tier reporters, thought leaders, and influencers.
• Collaborate closely with your counterparts on the partnerships and product marketing teams.
• Provide strategic counsel to our executive team, including Stripe’s founders and most senior product leaders.

Who you are

We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. We value experience, but that doesn’t necessarily mean traditional comms experience. In recent years, our hiring has been 50/50 split between top comms pros and people without any such background, including several former founders. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum requirements

• Superlative writer; someone who has been recognized by their peers as a truly exceptional writer, with a particular knack for making technically sophisticated topics interesting and memorable
• Experience collaborating effectively with product teams, partnership leads, marketing colleagues, and other senior executives

Preferred qualifications

• Experience telling the story of a company or its products—including as a founder, a journalist, or even as a seasoned comms professional. 
• Experience in technology, B2B, financial services and/or banking sectors. 
• You’re passionate about Stripe’s mission and/or the quality of tools that founders, developers, and business leaders around the world have access to
• You’re deeply immersed in the world of independent media—Substackers, podcasters, video makers, influencers on X. You might personally know some of the people shaping these conversations (or even be one yourself), but more importantly, you understand the culture, the discourse, and where the zeitgeist is heading next. You combine the best of what you’ve found online with your original ideas to create compelling stories and new insights.
