About the role
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 our 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 our 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'll be the connective tissue across the business and policy audiences—building the campaigns, relationships, and moments that shape how the companies that rely on our products the most, and those who write the rules of the economy Stripe is helping to build, understand Stripe.
You'll lead our most influential reputational programs globally—high-profile events, executive media and speaking opportunities, and proactive campaigns that demonstrate our economic impact. At the same time, you'll work closely with our policy team—advocating for improvements in financial policy and regulation, while also shaping our response to complex policy issues.
Responsibilities
- Demonstrate our economic impact. Build proactive corporate campaigns around our role creating economic opportunity. Lead communications for high-profile events, executive interviews, and public appearances
- Own our reputational storytelling globally. Design and execute programs that build our profile—and trust—among the core business audience as well as policymakers and the Washington press corps
- Build the next chapter of our policy communications function. Partner closely with our policy team to develop a clear point of view on industry, regulatory, and policy-related topics, and amplify it through the right channels. Establish relationships with the right journalists and influencers in policy and tech, thought leaders in AI, crypto, and tech policy, rapid response capabilities, and a well-tuned approach for navigating the full range of political and regulatory moments that arise in D.C.
- 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. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
Minimum requirements
- 10+ years of professional experience in strategic communications, tech PR, policy communications, or an equivalent high-growth operator role (e.g., as a former founder)
- A superlative writer with a proven ability to create clear, compelling narratives around complex, high-stakes topics
- Excellent judgment in ambiguous, high-pressure situations, with the ability 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, and a high bar for what a communications program achieves
- 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
