In the posting’s own words
The Vice Chair Office sets Stripe's strategy across government relations, public affairs, and policy, and partners closely with publishing, philanthropy, and other external-facing programs — together, the parts of the company that shape how Stripe shows up in the world beyond the product itself, and that increasingly shape the long-term environment Stripe operates in.
What it asks for · 6
- 3-5 years experience in strategy, program leadership, or an operating role supporting a senior leader or a complex, cross-functional team
- A track record of turning ambiguous priorities into a structured plan and driving it through to execution
- Strong written and verbal communication, with experience preparing materials for senior stakeholders
- Good judgment about when to make a call yourself and when to escalate
- Comfort managing several workstreams at once without losing track of the details
- Impeccable organizational, project management and stakeholder management skills
Also a plus
- Experience in policy, government relations, public affairs, or a related field
- Experience working directly with senior executives
- Experience building a process, program, or team structure from scratch
- Experience defining success metrics or running experiments for programs that don't have an obvious, pre-built way to measure impact
What the job covers
- Partner with the Chief of Staff to translate the Vice Chair's priorities into a clear portfolio of programs across policy, public affairs, publishing, and external partnerships
- Design and run the team's operating rhythm — the planning, review, and decision forums that keep a fast-moving, cross-functional portfolio aligned
- Own programs end-to-end: frame the objective, build the plan, drive execution, and report on outcomes
- Build the operational foundations for a growing team — from how work gets prioritized and tracked, to how we define and measure success across a portfolio of programs that don't share a common metric today
- Stand up the team's approach to measurement: define what success looks like per program, run experiments where useful, and track outcomes so the team can tell what's working
- Represent the Vice Chair Office in cross-functional settings with comms, policy, legal, finance, and external partners
- Spot risks and dependencies across the portfolio early and drive them to resolution
- Take on new projects and ambiguous problems as the portfolio's priorities shift
