Today, Stripe’s corporate net zero program is entering a new phase. We are looking to streamline our emissions measurement, create a template for catalytic emission reduction and champion buying removals on the path to net zero, all while meeting our expanding global ESG disclosure requirements.
What it asks for · 5
- BA or BS degree
- 5-7+ years of experience in corporate sustainability, climate strategy, carbon accounting, environmental consulting, or a related field
- Excellent oral and written communication skills – especially adept at translating complexity into clear recommendations
- A track record of generating and implementing ambitious emissions reduction initiatives
- Strong quantitative skills and expertise in emissions accounting and Greenhouse Gas Protocol
Also a plus
- Has led a corporate climate program in a sector with a significant Scope 3 footprint, ideally technology or financial services
- Is a self-starter, and has a proven track record of translating climate ambitions into actionable plans and producing measurable reductions through clean energy, cloud usage, and other supplier engagement initiatives
- Has a working knowledge of major emissions accounting and climate reporting standards and requirements (e.g., CSRD, California SB 253, GHG protocol), and experience with Watershed or similar enterprise carbon management platforms
- Has experience partnering with cross functional controllership partners to manage a greenhouse gas inventory process that meets requirements for limited or reasonable assurance
- Is an exceptionally fast learner. Enjoys (and has experience) quickly ramping on new reduction technologies and sustainability standards
What the job covers
- Net Zero strategy (~15%): Own and evolve Stripe’s corporate net zero strategy, including Stripe’s transition plan, priorities, budget, annual goals, emissions forecasts, removal retirements, and progress tracking. Stay current on evolving disclosure requirements, net zero guidance, and industry best practices to ensure Stripe’s program is high impact and best in class
- Emissions measurement (~30%): Build Stripe’s annual greenhouse gas inventory. Collect data inputs, evolve methodology, manage Stripe’s footprint vendors, run a rigorous and auditable process with cross-functional stakeholders, and identify opportunities to use AI to improve the accuracy and efficiency of this process
- Emissions reporting (~30%): Serve as Stripe’s subject-matter expert to deliver inputs to ESG controllership for regulatory disclosures and clear recommendations for executives and customers
- Reduction program (~25%): Develop and manage emissions reduction initiatives across Stripe. This will include efforts like securing renewable electricity for Stripe’s scope 2 emissions, as well as driving creative and high-impact interventions like carbon removal or lower-emission data centers that we need to reach global net zero
