Product Communications: crypto and emerging products

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.

The Communications team builds and protects Stripe’s brand and influence across the world. We’re looking for a a superb writer and creative thinker, with entrepreneurial spirit, to help deepen the understanding of Stripe’s products, with a particular emphasis on Stripe’s crypto offerings; to work closely with our teams to produce imaginative and effective messaging; and to provide strategic counsel to our executive team.

This role is to lead global product communications for Stripe’s crypto offerings, including both Stripe’s native products and those of Bridge, the stablecoin company acquired by Stripe earlier this year. In addition, you’ll look after Stripe’s newest payments products beyond crypto.

Two important dimensions of this role include: (i) entrepreneurialism — you’ll work shoulder to shoulder with senior leaders and the teams building Stripe’s and Bridge’s crypto products to provide strategic counsel far beyond traditional comms. You’ll figure out from first principles how to maximize the chances of success, avoid pitfalls, and surgically raise awareness among just the right audiences. And (ii) flagship writing — you’ll bring superb analytical thinking and writing skills to bear on Stripe’s highest profile public moments such as company letters and executive keynotes.

Across both, you will drive the development and articulation of Stripe’s vision for crypto and for the future of global money movement more generally.

• Lead global product communications for Stripe’s crypto products (including Bridge) and other cutting edge payments offerings.
• Lead the development, articulation, and testing of Stripe’s long-term public vision for global money movement generally and crypto specifically, in particular as a substrate for economic exchange and growth (rather than as an investment vehicle or a store of value).
• Design and roll out strategic campaigns that build awareness for Stripe’s crypto products and deepen key audiences’ understanding of exactly what makes stable coins so useful to global businesses of all sizes.
• Create and edit extremely high quality written materials for Stripe’s biggest moments, including newsroom posts, social content, industry keynotes, top tier media interviews, and more.
• Work with local and regional comms leads to raise awareness for Stripe globally.
• Develop and maintain relationships with thought leaders and influencers.
• Provide strategic counsel to our executive team, including Stripe’s founders and most senior product leaders (as well as Bridge’s leadership team), and collaborate closely with your counterparts on the partnerships and product marketing teams.

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.

• Superlative writer; someone who has been recognized by their peers as a truly exceptional writer, with a particular knack for making technically sophisticated topics interesting and memorable
• 8+ years of relevant working experience in communications and/or product management
• Experience collaborating effectively with product teams, partnership leads, marketing colleagues, and other senior executives

• Working in a technology, B2B and/or financial services or banking environment
• You’re passionate about the potential for (and real-world impact of) crypto
• You’re deeply immersed in the world of independent media—Substackers, podcasters, video makers, influencers on X. You might personally know some of the people shaping these conversations (or even be…
