In this role, you will manage design standards and portfolio knowledge, review test fits and design submissions, identify design improvements for existing sites, and support strategic design programs spanning vendor partnerships, wellness, sustainability, and practical applications of artificial intelligence (AI).

The ideal candidate combines strong design judgment with excellent communication and organizational skills, research chops, and follow-through. You can evaluate design information, synthesize findings, maintain clear documentation, and coordinate work across cross-functional internal teams and external partners with tact and precision.

Responsibilities

• Design standards and portfolio knowledge: Maintain Workplace Design resources, including design guidelines, office categories, project books, and portfolio documentation; support updates to guidelines incorporating learnings from completed projects and portfolio audits; and create self-service tools that help internal teams and external partners understand and apply design standards
• Design review and portfolio improvements: Review test fits, design presentations, drawings, material selections, and project documentation to identify inconsistencies and provide design feedback, including what needs to change and why; partner with regional teams to audit and update existing offices, identify and understand user feedback and trends, and track recurring design issues to inform future recommendations and small-scale pilots

• Innovation and practical AI: Explore, test, and document practical applications of AI for design research, documentation, portfolio analysis, and knowledge sharing, and translate pilot results into actionable guidance or self-service tools
• Cross-functional collaboration: Partner effectively with internal stakeholders, consultants, vendors, and cross-functional teams, including those working on audiovisual (AV)-integrated spaces, to deliver consistent design execution across portfolio touch points
• This role requires domestic and international travel

Who you are

• Experience and/or interest in sustainable design and wellness, including WELL, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), or similar standards

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.

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.
