This role is a hybrid mix of program management, project management, and creative production depending on the project phase. During certain periods you will be focused on the 10,000 foot view of the program, and at other times you will be working side-by-side with the Design team overseeing execution of every design detail before an event.

• Partner closely with the Experiential Creative Director to further scale and evolve event design at Stripe; optimize processes to streamline how work is done
• Partner closely with the Corporate Events team to ensure smooth execution and integration of event brand design across all surfaces
• Ensure smooth collaboration with leadership, creatives, cross-functional partners, and vendors
• Own project management through documentation, tooling, trackers, standing meetings, org-wide updates, and Slack
• Source, onboard, and oversee external creative agencies
• Connect silos, socialize changes, anticipate risks, and provide actionable solutions for escalation to Brand Studio leadership
• Navigate challenges and blockers with ease; proactive in finding solutions, and always looking ahead for the team
• Uphold and advocate for design quality with cross-functional teams and vendors to exceed engagement and registration goals
• Inspire and sustain a culture of excellence by collaborating with creatives in best practices and processes
