Job description

About the Role

Stripe’s Corporate Communications team is looking for an experienced communicator to build and lead a proactive corporate storytelling program. You will serve as the connective tissue between the business and policy audiences, shaping how Stripe is understood by companies that rely on its products and by the people who write the rules of the economy.

Responsibilities

• Demonstrate Stripe’s economic impact by building proactive corporate campaigns around its role in creating economic opportunity. Lead communications for high‑profile events, executive interviews, and public appearances.
• Own Stripe’s reputational storytelling globally. Design and execute programs that build Stripe’s profile and trust among core business audiences, policymakers, and the Washington press corps.
• Build the next chapter of Stripe’s policy communications function. Partner with the policy team to develop a clear point‑of‑view on industry, regulatory, and policy topics, amplify it through the right channels, and establish relationships with journalists and influencers in policy and tech.
• Provide executive counsel. Serve as a trusted advisor to senior executives on communications strategy, offering clear judgment in ambiguous, high‑pressure situations.

Minimum Requirements

• Exceptional writing skills with the ability to create clear, compelling narratives around complex, high‑stakes topics.
• Exceptional judgment in ambiguous, high‑pressure situations; able to operate autonomously and make consequential decisions quickly.
• Fluency in the tech media landscape, including an existing network of reporters, editors, and influencers in tech policy and business press.
• Experience collaborating closely with policy, legal, and senior executive stakeholders.
• Creative flair and an aversion to the hackneyed and obvious; a high bar for what a communications program can and should achieve.
• An entrepreneurial streak; energized by building new initiatives rather than simply managing existing ones.

Preferred Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to design and execute proactive communications campaigns, not just respond to incoming requests.
• A track record of building something from scratch—whether a comms function, a narrative program, or a public‑facing campaign—and iterating on it over time.
• A feel for independent media—Substack, podcasts, YouTube, influencers on X—and how to use these channels to shape conversations among policymakers and thought leaders.

Benefits

The annual U.S. base salary range for this role is $166,600–$249,800. Benefits may include equity, a company bonus or sales commissions, a 401(k) plan, medical, dental, and vision coverage, and wellness stipends.

Location & Work Arrangement

This role can be based in an office or remotely from a location at least 35 miles (56 km) from a Stripe office. Remote employees are expected to work from home regularly, although they may attend in‑office meetings as needed. Stripe does not cover relocation costs for remote positions.
