Job description

to our team to cover international corporate governance and market expansion.

Responsibilities

• Partner closely with Stripe's corporate secretary's office, regulatory and compliance team on board and committee meetings, to ensure appropriate board reporting and escalation
• Actively collaborate with a wide variety of teams at Stripe, including tax, accounting, regulatory, employment, and compliance, on a range of issues to enable Stripe's global expansion
• Partner with corporate secretary's office to evaluate, scope, and form new international subsidiaries
• Establish and maintain governance frameworks that promote effective decision‑making, transparency and accountability across Stripe

Minimum Requirements

• Have 4+ years of experience working on corporate governance at a major law firm or technology company

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 our Bucharest, Romania site have an 80% in‑office expectation, and those in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico and Bengaluru, India 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.
