Content Designer, Onboarding and Growth

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

Our Growth team is on a mission to acquire, convert and grow millions of merchants globally across Stripe’s full suite of financial products. We are a cross-functional team of engineers, scientists, marketers, designers and product managers that deliver the insights, algorithms, internal systems and tools, and user-facing experiences that fuel Stripe’s growth. In short, we make it easy for people to act on their interest in Stripe.

As part of the Growth Design team, you will design products that help bring new users into Stripe and take their first steps with our tools with the strongest possible start. This includes working on products that bridge our marketing and Dashboard experiences together, as well as key growth-related customer experiences (e.g., onboarding, product recommendations, and more).

You’ll also be part of the broader Design team at Stripe, which works across many types of initiatives—from our brand voice to events, web and mobile products, primary qualitative and quantitative research, and even printed publications. And since Stripe’s main audience is other people who build products, we take pride in meticulously crafting user-friendly experiences.

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.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with designers, researchers, product managers, engineers, and marketers to deliver end-to-end experiences for new users
• Lead content discovery and planning, ensuring the right activities are prioritized to uncover users’ content needs
• Deliver recommendations and solutions to a diverse set of partners and stakeholders, including audit findings, concept models, content requirements, naming strategy, etc.
• Shape (and scribe) product narratives, onboarding flows, navigation schemes, and other microcopy
• Identify content testing opportunities and form experiment hypotheses
• Facilitate content critiques and workshops, advise copywriters and other partners on content execution, and create tools and templates to enable others to create their own great content
• Create, maintain, and implement style guides and shared nomenclature across Stripe

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

• 5+ years of experience working as a content designer, UX writer, or content strategist
• Embraces the highly technical nature of Stripe and our products, and translates complex concepts into clear, intuitive language
• Comfortable designing content across surfaces and channels, including web, email, and product interfaces

• Writes using best practices for inclusivity and accessibility to reach users worldwide

Preferred Qualifications

Hybrid work at Stripe

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

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.

A remote location, in most cases, 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 or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

The annual salary range for this role in the primary location is C$145,600 – C$218,400. This range may change if you are hired in another location. 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 specific location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the primary location may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Specific benefits and details about what compensation is included in the salary range listed above will vary depending on the applicant’s location and can be discussed in more detail during the interview process. Benefits/additional compensation for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; retirement plans; health benefits; and wellness stipends.
