In the posting’s own words

The Design team works across most projects at Stripe—from our brand standards to campaigns, events, digital products, and even printed publications. And since Stripe’s main audience is other people who build products, we agonize over and take pride in crafting user-friendly and user-focused experiences.

What it asks for · 10

  • 5+ years of design and art direction experience, ideally at technical or product-driven companies
  • A strong track record of independently delivering work while also influencing the output of other designers, contractors, and agencies
  • Deep cross-functional collaboration skills, comfortable working across creative, product, marketing, and strategy
  • Strategic instincts for building ambitious, globally facing brands in fast-moving environments
  • Strong instincts across film, digital, print, OOH, and activations, with a genuine pulse on culture and the ability to translate that into concepts that earn attention
  • A proven ability to sell ambitious creative work: concepting ideas and presenting them in a way that earns buy-in from senior leadership without flattening them
  • A strong partnership mindset, particularly with producer leads, to drive programs forward with quality, clarity, and momentum
  • Confident stakeholder management skills: able to navigate ambiguity, align competing priorities, and bring people in on the creative
  • Proficiency in Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, and the latest AI workflows
  • Exceptional craft and impeccable taste

Also a plus

  • Genuinely curious, ambitious, and creative, with a sharp eye for typography, a deep appreciation for craft and the creative process, and a digitally native sensibility
  • Persuasive and considered in presenting your work and process; skilled at facilitating stakeholder conversations without losing creative integrity
  • Active experimentation with AI tools in the creative process, with an honest point of view on how they can shape the way work gets made
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; strong organization and presentation skills
  • Experience in sports marketing, sponsorship activations, or brand-in-culture work, with a perspective on how brands earn credibility in spaces they don't own
  • Created work that generated genuine cultural traction, beyond media spend alone
  • Able to art direct at a high level and think through how a design system or campaign idea can evolve and deepen over time
  • Experience in environments where product and brand both had to pull their weight, and where the product itself was central to the creative story

What the job covers

  • Concept, develop, and execute integrated campaigns across digital, film, print, OOH, and live activations, from early brief through final delivery
  • Work closely with the Advertising team to build a strong, consistent creative pipeline that connects brand to business goals
  • Partner with the Stripe Identity team to ensure campaign work is grounded in and advances Stripe's visual and verbal identity
  • Translate briefs, user insights, and business objectives into campaign ideas that are both strategically sharp and creatively distinctive
  • Present and champion ambitious creative work to stakeholders and senior leadership, building the case without diluting the idea
  • Art direct external agencies, contractors, and collaborators, maintaining quality and brand alignment throughout
  • Work closely with producer leads to drive program success, managing timelines, quality, and alignment across workstreams
  • Contribute to raising the team's standards and culture of craft through the quality, clarity, and consistency of your own work
