• Are persuasive and humble in explaining your work, process, and decisions, and experienced at facilitating stakeholders to advance the project as well as design quality.
• Have excellent organization and presentation skills, and excel in written and verbal communication.
• Love working with other designers to help them learn and grow—and invite them to help you learn and grow.
• Experience working (collaboration and facilitation) with cross-functional partners.
• Creative coding or creative technologist background is a nice-to-have.

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office). Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users, balancing collaboration and flexibility. A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kms) or more from one of our offices.

While you may attend in-person meetings or events, our expectation is that you will regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover relocation costs. We encourage you to apply for roles that match your current or planned location.

The annual US base salary range for this role is $210,400 - $315,600. Applicants outside the US may request the relevant salary range during the interview process. Additional benefits may include equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.
