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 Product Design team defines and delivers user-facing experiences across Stripe. Product Designers work closely with engineers, product managers, researchers, strategists, operations, data scientists, and marketers to shape products from early strategy through launch and iteration.

You’ll be joining the Risk team, which shapes how businesses get started on Stripe, build trust, stay compliant, and grow with confidence. The work spans businesses of every size and helps keep both our users and the Stripe ecosystem safe.

Risk is a high-impact design space where the problems are both strategic and complex. As a designer on the team, you’ll help bring clarity to critical user moments, reduce friction for legitimate businesses, and raise the craft bar where trust, ease, and confidence matter most.

This role is a strong fit for a designer who is energized by complexity, motivated by impact, and excited to turn difficult systems into simple, intuitive experiences.

What you’ll do

In this role, you’ll design experiences that help businesses start and grow successfully on Stripe. You’ll work closely with cross-functional partners to define problems, shape direction, and ship high-quality experiences.

Responsibilities

• Translate complex systems, policies, and operational constraints into clear, thoughtful product experiences
• Identify high-leverage opportunities that improve coherence across journeys, touchpoints, and surfaces
• Partner closely with PMs, engineers, researchers, operations, and strategists to shape product direction and drive user and business outcomes
• Develop both long‑term strategy and pragmatic short‑term solutions
• Design, prototype, and communicate ideas with creative storytelling and demos
• Use qualitative and quantitative signals to inform decisions and evaluate impact
• Work closely with engineering to ensure a high bar for craft and implementation quality
• Contribute to shared patterns and systems that help the broader Risk organization build with coherence

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

• 8+ years of relevant product design experience at a product‑driven technology company
• A portfolio demonstrating strong visual craft, interaction design, and systems thinking
• Experience working on complex product areas with multiple stakeholders, constraints, and interconnected workflows
• Strong product thinking and the ability to shape direction, not just execute against requirements
• Demonstrated ability to prototype and design across multiple touchpoints and surfaces
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence through clear design rationale and artifacts

Preferred Qualifications

• Think in systems and design solutions that scale across users, workflows, and surfaces
• Have strong product judgment and influence beyond the UI
• Care deeply about quality from concept through implementation
• Are comfortable operating in fast‑moving environments where priorities may shift in response to policy, operational, or regulatory needs

In‑office expectations

Office‑assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in‑office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in‑person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.

Pay and benefits

The annual salary range for this role in the primary location is £93,200 - £139,800. This range may change if you are hired in another location. 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 specific location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the primary location may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Specific benefits and details about what compensation is included in the salary range listed above will vary depending on the applicant’s location and can be discussed in more detail during the interview process. Benefits/additional compensation for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; retirement plans; health benefits; and wellness stipends.

We look forward to hearing from you.

At Stripe, we're looking for people with passion, grit, and integrity. You're encouraged to apply even if your experience doesn't precisely match the job description. Your skills and passion will stand out—and set you apart—especially if your career has taken some extraordinary twists and turns. At Stripe, we welcome diverse perspectives and people who think rigorously and aren't afraid to challenge assumptions. Join us.
