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

Stripe’s comms organisation does more than the traditional: we produce films that get shown at festivals, sell over 300,000 books annually, run some of the fastest growing social media channels in tech, write talks and skits for external and internal events attended by thousands of people, build physical machines that track commerce in real-time, create podcasts in pubs, and much more besides. We believe in small, elite, high-taste teams and aim to run a tight operation.

What you'll do

We're looking for an entrepreneurial and creative communications professional to help tell Stripe's story across Greater China and Southeast Asia. Someone who can position Stripe as a partner to the region's most ambitious businesses and entrepreneurs; who has a long-term mindset when it comes to building reputation and trust; and who is obsessed with the craft and beauty of communications.

The ideal candidate is both strategic and hands-on. They're creative, curious, pragmatic—and able to develop and execute Stripe's communications strategy across our region. They understand the local media and influencer landscape and can turn complex products and technical ideas into clear, compelling stories about what Stripe is building and why it matters.

You Will

• Help shape Stripe’s narrative and tell compelling stories about Stripe’s infrastructure, the businesses we’re proud to serve, and how Asian entrepreneurs and companies are contributing to greater economic prosperity - both regionally and globally.
• Work alongside Stripe users and partners, bringing their voices, ambitions and experiences into campaigns, announcements, and other communications.
• Build trusted relationships with business and technology reporters, influential thinkers, and other important stakeholders across the region, find creative, ever-changing tactics to underscore how Stripe drives economic progress.
• Apply excellent judgment and calm, clear communication to complex, high-profile corporate issues when they arise.
• Approach each opportunity from first principles rather than relying on familiar playbooks.

Who you are

Minimum Requirements

• 7+ years of relevant experience in communications, public relations, journalism, or a related field.
• Highly entrepreneurial. You must be highly adaptable, fast to learn, and possess a track record of building creative campaigns from scratch.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with an ability to understand, synthesise, and explain complex or technically sophisticated topics.
• Strong knowledge of Southeast Asia and Greater China, including their business, technology, and media landscapes.
• Experience building relationships with business and technology reporters and other influential stakeholders.
• The ability to manage multiple markets, projects, and collaborate effectively with internal and external stakeholders simultaneously.
• Sound judgment, intellectual curiosity, creativity, and exceptional attention to detail.
• A willingness to move between strategy and execution—from shaping a regional narrative to drafting social copies and coordinating launches.

Preferred Qualifications

• Mandarin-speaking skills. Chinese reading and writing skills are an additional advantage.
• Experience supporting communications in both Southeast Asia and Greater China, as well as working with global teams.
• Familiarity with payments, fintech, enterprise technology, cross-border commerce, or the broader internet economy.
• Experience managing communications agencies across multiple markets.
