About The Team
The Brand and Marketing Team team lays the foundations that help Stripe accelerate. We do this by creating, evolving, and maintaining Stripe’s high-quality, versatile, and forward-looking brand and identity design system. We sweat the details. We make it seem effortless.

This role will require close strategic alignment with several teams within the broader Marketing team, including demand, integrated, product, brand, partner, enterprise, and regional teams in APAC and EMEA.
This role also will also collaborate with external agencies and contractors, training them on Stripe voice and tone. The Copywriter will collaborate with Comms on a coherent digital and traditional media strategy that tells a consistent and engaging story about Stripe, its products, and its users.
