Design Manager at Stripe leading a team of designers on the Presence pillar, responsible for creative direction and strategy across stripe.com, link.com, and Sessions. Focus on web storytelling, design systems, and team growth in a rapidly evolving AI-enabled environment.
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.
Web Presence & Platform (WPP) is organized into two pillars: Platform and Presence. The Platform pillar builds internal systems, tooling, and infrastructure to support the web. The Presence pillar owns Stripe’s public-facing storytelling across stripe.com, including our homepage, product landing pages, industry and solutions pages, and other high-impact go-to-market surfaces, as well as link.com and Sessions. Together, we shape how millions of people understand what Stripe is and what it can do for them.
Designers on the Presence team work at the intersection of craft and impact—balancing clarity, polish, and systems thinking with strategic storytelling and conversion goals. We collaborate closely with engineering, marketing, content, and product to deliver work that is not only beautiful, but measurably moves the business.
