Job summary

Stripe is hiring Forward Deployed AI Accelerators embedded with marketing cohorts to scale AI-powered workflows. You will build tools, agents, and automations with 25–45 marketers, helping them start tasks with AI as the default approach.

You will coach each marketer through awareness to first win, to regular AI integration, and to full workflow transformation, while documenting patterns for the entire FDA team to reuse.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of professional experience in a role requiring diagnostic thinking, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration
• Hands-on experience building and deploying AI-powered agents, tools, automations, or workflows used by real people
• Proficiency with AI development tools and platforms (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, custom agent frameworks, API integrations, workflow automation tools)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences
• Comfort working across multiple workstreams and relationships simultaneously (supporting 25–45 marketers)
• Track record of coaching, teaching, or enabling others

Responsibilities

• Identify and document the highest-leverage workflow transformations within your cohort's day-to-day work by deeply understanding their processes and outputs
• Build custom tools, agents, automations, and skills tailored to each marketer's specific responsibilities
• Coach and partner with each marketer through a progressive journey - from awareness, to first win, to regular AI integration, to full workflow transformation, to self-sufficiency
• Teach marketers to build and iterate on their own tools over time, creating independence
• Recognize patterns across your cohort and systematically scale what works - a tool built for one marketer will be reusable for their peers
• Document every tool, playbook, and transformation pattern you build so the entire FDA team uses each other's work
• Share wins visibly within your cohort and with leadership to build momentum, inspire, and celebrate success
• Track individual and cohort progress rigorously against a defined maturity model, moving every marketer toward self-sustaining, AI-first work
• Prepare marketers for an agentic future - not just prompt writing, but designing, building, and overseeing autonomous, multi-agent workflows

Job description

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 Stripe Marketing organization is undergoing a fundamental transformation in how it works. We're building a team of Forward Deployed AI Accelerators (FDAs) embedded directly with marketing cohorts to make AI the default mode for all work - not an occasional tool, but the foundation of how every marketer at Stripe executes.

Today, marketers are already achieving remarkable results - building their own data dashboards, creating agents that compress multi-day processes, and authoring tools that accelerate workflows. The FDA team exists to take what's working and systematically scale it across the entire marketing organization.

What you'll do

As a Forward Deployed AI Accelerator, you'll be embedded with a cohort of 25–45 marketers organized by functional team, shared workflow, or location. You'll build alongside them, and you'll help them fundamentally change how they operate. Your measure of success is the number of workflows you've permanently transformed and the extent to which those in your cohort start any task with an AI tool.

Responsibilities

• Identify and document the highest-leverage workflow transformations within your cohort's day-to-day work by deeply understanding their processes and outputs
• Build custom tools, agents, automations, and skills tailored to each marketer's specific responsibilities
• Coach and partner with each marketer through a progressive journey - from awareness, to first win, to regular AI integration, to full workflow transformation, to self-sufficiency
• Teach marketers to build and iterate on their own tools over time, creating independence
• Recognize patterns across your cohort and systematically scale what works - a tool built for one marketer will be reusable for their peers
• Document every tool, playbook, and transformation pattern you build so the entire FDA team uses each other's work
• Share wins visibly within your cohort and with leadership to build momentum, inspire, and celebrate success
• Track individual and cohort progress rigorously against a defined maturity model, moving every marketer toward self-sustaining, AI-first work
• Prepare marketers for an agentic future - not just prompt writing, but designing, building, and overseeing autonomous, multi-agent workflows

Who you are

We're looking for people who have already lived the transformation they'll be driving for others. You've used AI to fundamentally change how work gets done, not as a novelty, but as your default operating mode.

• You are a deep AI practitioner. You build agents, automations, and tools fluently. You don't just know what AI can do in theory. You've built things that changed how real teams operate, and the people you built for actually use what you shipped. You build in real time alongside the people you support.
• You spot transformation opportunities and execute on them. You look at a team's workflows and see where AI changes the economics: where existing work can be done in a fraction of the time, or where entirely new programs become viable that weren't worth doing before. Then you build the thing, not just the slide.
• You understand marketing work. You either have direct experience in marketing or quickly learn the workflows, deliverables, tools, and pressures of your assigned cohort. You know that understanding someone's work is a prerequisite to transforming it.
• You are a pattern recognizer. When you build something that works for one person, you immediately see how it applies to others. You think in systems, not one-off solutions.
• You are a strong communicator. You explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences, adapt your style to different people, and make progress visible to leadership and stakeholders.
• You are high-caliber, persistent, and versatile. Your skills and experience are valuable across the company. You're the kind of person who succeeds in many roles at Stripe.
• You bias toward action and speed. You'd rather show someone a working proof-of-concept on their own deliverable today than present a polished deck about what's theoretically possible next quarter.
• You are comfortable with ambiguity and evolution. This is a new team building a new operating model. The playbook will be rewritten as we learn. You thrive in that environment.

Minimum Requirements

• 5+ years of professional experience in a role requiring diagnostic thinking, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration
• Demonstrated, hands-on experience building and deploying AI-powered agents, tools, automations, or workflows that real people use in their actual work, whether that made existing processes meaningfully more efficient or made previously unviable work possible for the first time
• Proficiency with AI development tools and platforms (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, custom agent frameworks, API integrations, workflow automation tools)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences and adapt your style to different learners
• Comfort working across multiple workstreams and relationships simultaneously (you'll be supporting 25–45 marketers at varying stages of their AI journey)
• Track record of coaching, teaching, or enabling others, with evidence that people you've helped actually changed how they work

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in a formal AI transformation role where the job was substantially about identifying opportunities for workflow transformation and executing on them with hands-on builds
• Experience helping people become more expert AI users and capable builders
• Experience in marketing, marketing operations, growth, or a closely adjacent function, including familiarity with marketing technology stacks (e.g., Marketo, Salesforce, analytics platforms, content management tools)

Hybrid work at Stripe

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

Working remotely at Stripe

A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently live or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $145,200 - $217,800. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.
