About Stripe

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.

About the team

You’ll join Stripe’s Optimized Checkout Suite product team, which gives businesses a set of prebuilt checkout surfaces that are optimized for conversion as they expand to new geographies, customer segments, and business models. OCS helps businesses build checkout flows that match their stage and scale, spending minimal time on payment integration so they can focus on their customers and product. Our core value is abstracting complexity so users can rely on Stripe to be the expert on all things checkout: conversion-optimized UI, dynamic presentation of payment methods, localization, and currency conversion, to name a few.

What you’ll do

You might call yourself a UX writer, content strategist, information architect, or another title. In this role, you’ll shape the strategic direction of high-impact projects, in addition to crafting elegant interface copy that distills complex concepts into clear, actionable language. Content designers at Stripe are empowered to dive deeply into a problem space, pairing closely with product designers as equal partners in the product development process. Day to day, you’ll work with small, iterative cross-functional teams while enjoying the camaraderie and support of a centralized Content Design team.
