Job description

Who we are

About Stripe

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

The Workplace team’s mission is to create and support work environments that are welcoming, comfortable, and intuitive. These spaces are designed to promote collaboration, well-being, and productivity while adhering to the rigorous safety, security, and confidentiality standards required of a financial services company.

The Workplace Experience team comprises hospitality-focused professionals who partner with the business to shape the daily experiences of Stripes, visitors, and candidates across 20+ global office locations. This geographically dispersed team oversees facilities management, daily operations, and local workplace programs, including events and onsites.

What you’ll do

We're looking for a strategic leader and experienced manager with a high EQ who's enthusiastic about, and has a driving need to deliver, the best possible workplace experience for Stripes. You'll be a key member of our Experience team and responsible for ensuring that workplace operations, experiences, facilities, and programs run smoothly at our New York office. As a business partner, you have a deep understanding of the needs, experiences, and day-to-day realities of Stripes at your location and build strong relationships not only with site leads but also with cross-functional partners across the organization.

This role requires a high level of expertise and operational oversight—from understanding how the building functions top to bottom to governance of contractor team performance and ensuring financial accountability. A key part of the role is anticipating the needs of the business by understanding both the site and the broader context of company growth. You'll gather and synthesize feedback from multiple sources to ensure the workplace strategy is informed by real insights from the ground. While enterprise workplace strategy is developed centrally, you're expected to bring informed recommendations based on local business needs and operational insight, and to own successful implementation and adoption at your site.

Please note this role requires an in office presence of 4 days per week.
