Who we are

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

To further this important mission, we are building the foundation for a long‑term talent bench at Stripe. We believe every campus hire can build products with meaningful impact at Stripe, and provide a far‑reaching impact for anyone trying to grow their business online. We are looking for a University Recruiter to join our team to attract and hire the very best junior talent, while providing each candidate with an exceptional experience. This is a 12 month fixed term contract.

What you’ll do

We’re a small but mighty team, and are committed to big results. You will help shape the future of our early‑stage programs and be responsible for all parts of the campus recruiting life cycle, including, but not limited to, organizing and leading on campus events, driving a strong and diverse candidate pipeline, branding, building relationships with internal stakeholders, and managing our global internship program. You must be a builder who thrives in a learning environment - unafraid to try new things, embrace new ideas, and welcome suggestions for how we can iterate on our processes.

Responsibilities

• Partner closely with Stripe’s engineering organization to build the foundation of our early‑stage university program
• Manage the full‑cycle recruiting process for new graduate and intern candidates across multiple roles and offices
• Develop deep relationships with university groups, including faculty and student organizations, to design school‑specific strategies that enhance our value proposition and brand on campus
• Plan and execute on campus events with a focus on early engagement, education, and strategic branding
• Screen candidates and ensure that our hiring process is consistent and inclusive
• Drive a positive candidate experience for every new graduate and intern candidate considering a career at Stripe
• Build and iterate on our year‑round internship program alongside teammates and cross‑functional stakeholders
• Act as a resource to interns from hire to full‑time conversion
• Proactively share data‑centric updates with internal stakeholders to maintain aligned decision making and build trusted partnerships

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

• A minimum of 5+ years full‑cycle university recruiting experience in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment
• A passion for building teams and delivering exceptional candidate experience
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with an appropriate blend of professionalism and friendliness
• Proven abilities to create a strategic campus strategy and build a diverse pipeline
• An active and data‑driven approach to problem solving; you may enjoy making sense of the trends and using the insights to better your process to make it more efficient
• A growth mindset and truly flexible. You can shift tasks and priorities as circumstances change (At a fast‑growing startup, they often do)
• An interest in working in a cross‑functional and fluid environment, the ability to learn quickly, and no desire to take yourself too seriously (a wry sense of humor is always appreciated!)
• Ability and willingness to travel up to 30% during peak recruiting cycles and work flexible hours as needed

Hybrid work at Stripe

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

In‑office expectations

Office‑assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in‑person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

Working remotely at Stripe

A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on‑sites, meet‑ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently live or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $104,600 - $156,800. 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

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.
