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 administrative business partner team works with Stripe's executive leaders to strategically manage their day-to-day administrative and operational needs, while also contributing significantly to projects and initiatives that help drive the company's strategic priorities.

• Manage travel arrangements and process expense reports


• Make recommendations for your executives with regard to their time management, prioritization, delegation, and organization


• Organize and plan team meetings and offsites by assisting with the production of materials and pre-reads, taking notes, and tracking action items


• Partner with your executive to track key project milestones as well as progress against personal, team, and company goals and targets

• Support the operations and culture of various Stripe teams

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

• 5+ years of administrative experience at a quickly scaling or large company


• You are incredibly organized, with superb attention to detail and a strong ability to execute.


• You are excellent with time management and able to quickly shift tasks and priorities as needed.


• You have a knack for working across various roles and teams in a fast-paced, changing environment while remaining flexible, proactive, resourceful, and efficient.


• You communicate, perform, and react well under pressure or ambiguity.


• You enjoy optimizing processes to make them more efficient.


• You are adept at handling sensitive information and situations with care and confidence.


• You are able to anticipate and respond to the needs of others before they arise.

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 US base salary range for this role is $119,300 - $178,900. 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.
