Design Manager at Stripe leading a team of designers on the company's public-facing web presence, including stripe.com and Sessions. Responsible for creative direction, team strategy, and design excellence across acquisition and global expansion initiatives.
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.
As one of two Design Managers on the Presence team, you'll lead a group of exceptional designers focused on key initiatives across stripe.com, link.com, Bridge and Sessions. You’ll own the creative direction for areas like acquisition, global expansion, experimentation, and our annual customer event, Sessions. You’ll be responsible for defining team strategy, planning roadmaps with partners, and evolving priorities over time.

You’ll also lead through change as we continue to adapt our tools and processes in a rapidly evolving AI-enabled world.
You’ll foster the individuals on your team, providing support to their work and acceleration to their growth. You’ll champion quality and polish. You’ll partner with WPP’s leadership to devise and deliver on quarterly and yearly roadmaps focused on the strategic experiences we bring to our users. You’ll develop and empower a collaborative team that is excited to meet you. And not least, you’ll partner with other design leaders across Stripe to help shape a consistent and elevated design voice across Stripe’s surfaces.
