About The Team

The Brand and Marketing Creative team works across most teams and projects at Stripe—from our brand standards to demand and brand campaigns, and events.

The Brand Design team lays the foundations that help Stripe accelerate. We do this by creating, evolving, and maintaining Stripe’s high-quality, versatile, and forward-looking visual identity design system and its expression. We sweat the details to ensure the highest quality product for our users (and other Stripes). .

Our team—and our creative efforts—are multipliers for Stripe and Stripes. Our focus on principles, systems, and standards makes it easier for all Stripes to get work done—at a high quality bar, while still creating space for evolution and innovation. Collaborating with other teams at Stripe, as well as select external partners, we raise the quality and consistency of interactions with the Stripe brand.

The ideal candidate excels at working fast and scrappy without sacrificing the highest quality, has a growth mindset, and can bring fresh expressions within a brand sandbox. They understand the best practices of demand marketing as well as brand, can hold their own in executive reviews, and know how to drive work forward through layers of stakeholder alignment while maintaining energy and enthusiasm for the work.
