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

Treasury brings business banking and payments together on Stripe. We help businesses receive, store, send, and spend their money in one place — with faster access to funds, global money movement, and cards for everyday spending. Instead of stitching together banks, payment processors, and financial tools, businesses can manage their money where they already run their payments.

For design, this is an opportunity to rethink money management- an essential part of running a business. How might we make managing money feel effortless, help businesses operate across currencies and borders with confidence, and turn complex financial operations into intuitive, powerful experiences that give people more time to focus on building their businesses?

We’re looking for a design leader to help shape those answers. Our ambition is to build products that are powerful, well-crafted, and beautiful—bringing the quality and care of the best consumer experiences to business financial tools. You’ll lead a team defining new experiences from the ground up, navigating substantial ambiguity and regulatory complexity without losing sight of what makes a product exceptional.

What you’ll do

Responsibilities

• Lead a design team focused on Treasury, shaping a compelling vision for a unified experience across business banking, payments, money movement, and spending
• Translate complex financial capabilities into intuitive experiences that help businesses access their funds faster, manage cash flow, and operate globally with confidence
• Guide zero-to-one work from early exploration through launch, helping the team turn open-ended problems into clear product direction and cohesive experiences
• Set a high bar for craft and beauty, coaching designers to deliver exceptional interaction design, visual design, and thoughtful details that build confidence and trust
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Legal, Compliance, Risk, and other stakeholders to find ambitious solutions within financial and regulatory constraints
• Build and develop a team of designers, growing their skills, judgment, and careers while fostering a high-performance, customer-obsessed team culture
• Inspire the team and align cross-functional leaders around a clear design vision, balancing long-term ambition with pragmatic progress and world-class excellence in what we ship

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. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum requirements

• Have 5+ years of people management experience and are confident in building and developing design teams in fast-paced, evolving environments.
• Experience leading design teams tackling complex products with technical or financial systems, including shaping zero-to-one products from understanding user needs and defining the problem to establishing a product direction and bringing it to market. 
• Strong design judgment and a track record of helping teams deliver world-class, consumer-grade experiences. Ability to make sophisticated products feel simple, coach designers toward outstanding interaction and visual craft, and balance detail-oriented design with big-picture strategy, combining a deep understanding of users with business goals to drive meaningful outcomes
• Comfortable designing within regulatory constraints and partnering with legal, compliance, and risk teams. You can distinguish firm requirements from assumptions and find creative solutions without compromising user trust or regulatory obligations.
• Have demonstrated the ability to drive progress through substantial ambiguity. You bring structure to unclear problems, make sound decisions with incomplete information, and help teams move forward as requirements evolve.
• Excel at balancing detail-oriented design with big-picture strategy, combining a deep understanding of users with business goals to drive meaningful outcomes.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, using storytelling and clear reasoning to align teams and influence senior stakeholders

Preferred qualifications

• Experience designing financial products, particularly banking or bank-like experiences, money management, cards, or treasury tools.
• Experience delivering products across global markets with differing regulatory, operational, and user needs.
• Experience bringing fragmented tools and workflows together into a cohesive product experience with a consistently high standard of craft.
