Who we are

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. 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.

About the team

Public Goods at Stripe is focused on catalyzing products or services that would improve the world but don’t exist because the commercial motivations aren’t yet sufficient. By characterizing these goods, and altering the incentives, we hope to bring them to market faster. Our two main initiatives— Frontier , a $1.8B advanced market commitment to accelerate carbon removal, and Intercept , an effort to accelerate the elimination of respiratory infections—are partnerships between Stripe and some of the world’s most ambitious organisations, including Google, Anthropic, the OpenAI Foundation, and J.P. Morgan.

What you’ll do

Stripe is looking for an entrepreneurial netizen to lead communications for our Public Goods programs. The success of Frontier and Intercept will be contingent on building strong networks of support and cooperation in the communities where they operate (researchers, scientists, technologists, healthcare). We’ll need to persuade people and organisations to change course: labs changing their research paths; entrepreneurs quitting their jobs to start something new; funders reprioritising their grant programs. You’ll laser in on the influential voices, and build targeted strategies to shift opinions and behaviours u

Stripe is looking for an entrepreneurial netizen to lead communications for our Public Goods programs. The success of Frontier and Intercept will be contingent on building strong networks of support and cooperation in the communities where they operate (researchers, scientists, technologists, healthcare). We’ll need to persuade people and organisations to change course: labs changing their research paths; entrepreneurs quitting their jobs to start something new; funders reprioritising their grant programs. You’ll laser in on the influential voices, and build targeted strategies to shift opinions and behaviours using traditional media, podcasts, video, substackers, influencers, events, and Twitter. You’ll craft compelling messaging on world-altering technologies; announce billions of dollars worth of grants and investments; publish opinionated editorial designed to inflect research fields; build communities of superfans; and manage coalitions of the world’s biggest companies and philanthropic organizations. If we’re successful, you’ll be instrumental in reducing CO2 in the atmosphere, ending respiratory infections, and whatever else comes next.

• ‘Full stack’ comms leadership for Intercept and Frontier, from strategy and narrative development right through to having great stories and content out in the world.

• Crafting the Intercept narrative (largely from scratch, it’s very early!), and evolving the Frontier story for the next phase.

• Designing novel communications strategies from first principles to get journalists, influencers, policymakers, and substackers excited about these programs.

• Writing excellent communications (i.e. announcements, social media posts, or opinion pieces). Note: we are unusually obsessive about the quality of our writing!

• Partner with experts and leaders in the Frontier and Intercept teams: soliciting their ideas and expertise to inform the strategy, preparing them for media or podcast appearances, and building their profiles among important audiences.

• Build excellent relationships with our partners (both funders and portfolio companies and projects) in pursuit of carefully orchestrated communications across many stakeholders

We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.

Minimum requirements

• Comfort with highly complex and technical subject matter; you don’t need to be a scientist yourself, but you will need to keep up with some very fast-moving ones on the team.

• A superlative writer with a proven ability to translate complex, dense, technical information into compelling communications but which maximise fidelity.

• High agency and autonomy: identifying gaps or risks, seeking out the context, and bringing fully formed ideas for leadership approval.

• Experience in or around online movements which prize first-principles thinking, entrepreneurialism, and speed, like Silicon Valley, Progress, or Effective Altruism.

• A strong intuition for how and why ideas spread, particularly on the internet.

• Experience working with traditional media outlets is good, but not required.
