Brand Designer, Link

Who we are

At Stripe, we’ve spent the last 15 years building financial infrastructure for the internet, serving millions of people and businesses worldwide. Our flagship consumer product, Link, makes online payments and digital transactions effortless and secure—the digital wallet for what’s next.

This is a unique opportunity to continue building a standalone brand and introduce it to new global audiences. You’ll play a key role in making payments more personal and convenient while doing some of the most impactful work of your career.

About the team

Sitting within Brand Studio, the Link team is building Stripe’s first consumer brand. We build, evolve, and maintain a versatile, forward-looking visual identity system and find clear, fresh ways to apply it across surfaces. The brand designers on our team are multidisciplinary: they design robust visual systems, lead art direction, and craft surfaces that prioritize brand and product storytelling.

Working with cross-functional teams across Stripe and external partners, we set the vision and execute to a high quality bar. Our work shows up IRL, online, and everywhere between.

What you’ll do

You’ll be joining a highly creative team that spans anywhere from developing storytelling to creating digital tools, brand systems to rapid ideation. The work is highly experimental, idea driven, and very collaborative and cross-functional.

Responsibilities

  • Be an adamant maker that is genuinely curious, experimental, and loves to tinker, iterate quickly, and innovate on ideas, narrative, and making beautiful things
  • Creative vision: Design execution and quality of ideas work in equal partnership
  • Elevate and shape a brand system that is flexible enough to work across various surfaces and exemplifies Stripe’s commitment to craft & beauty
  • Collaborate with like-minded creative people who have radically different skill sets and together create ideas that envision an optimistic, progressive future
  • Partner widely with cross-functional teams to build upon great ideas through making things
  • Give and solicit feedback from a wide range of teammates and stakeholders

Who you are

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

  • 6+ years of relevant design and art direction experience for technical and product-driven companies 
  • Experience working on a variety of experimental projects that exemplify expertise in design, creative technology, typography, and art direction
  • Strong track record of independently delivering work as well as influencing the work of other designers, contractors, and agencies
  • Deep strategic acumen for building leading brands in fast paced environments
  • Proficient in Figma, Adobe Creative Cloud, Keynote, and google slides
  • Demonstrated experimentation with AI tools to both generate ideas, get stakeholders to see where an idea is headed, and to scale design
  • Exceptional craft 

Preferred qualifications

  • Are genuinely curious, ambitious and creative with a refreshing sense of design, impeccable typography skills, digitally savvy and deep appreciation for creative process, technology and design engineering
  • Are persuasive and humble in explaining your work, process, and decisions and experienced at facilitating stakeholders to advance the project as well as design quality 
  • Have excellent organization and presentation skills, and excel in written and verbal communication
  • Love working with other designers to help them learn and grow—and invite them to help you learn and grow
  • Experience working (collaboration and facilitation) with cross functional partners 
  • Creative coding or creative technologist background is a nice to have

Hybrid work at Stripe

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

Working remotely at Stripe

A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently live or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $159,300 - $238,900. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.
