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

We work on complex technical and legal problems every day, and we're looking for a privacy fellow with a love for data, technology, and privacy. In this role, you'll work closely with members of Stripe's privacy legal team and cross-functional privacy teams to help develop procedures, playbooks, and templates to help comply with privacy and data protection laws around the world.

What you'll do

As a Privacy Fellow on Stripe's Privacy GRC and Operations team, you'll join for a 12-month fellowship and own meaningful work from day one - not shadow it. You'll contribute directly to the programs that keep Stripe compliant, trustworthy, and privacy-forward across global markets.

Responsibilities

Reviewing Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) for new products and features across Stripe, evaluating privacy risks and helping teams launch responsibly
Managing and updating Stripe's customer-facing privacy policies, including coordinating localization and translations for multiple markets and jurisdictions
Working at the intersection of privacy and emerging technology - you'll assess privacy implications for some of Stripe's most innovative initiatives, from AI-powered tools to new financial products
Supporting Stripe's global privacy compliance program, contributing to the strategic frameworks that shape how privacy is practiced company-wide
Collaborating with privacy counsel, product teams, and legal operations to move compliance work forward efficiently and at scale

Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.
