- Manage the full editorial process for partnership work, including refining briefs, identifying ideas, directing creative development, and providing feedback on drafts.
- Direct and manage agencies, external creators, and editorial partners within existing structures.
- Write, edit, and improve high-stakes content across various formats like blog posts, newsletters, podcasts, ad copy, and social posts.
- Generate original concepts for creative programs, editorial franchises, and nontraditional formats to expand Stripe's contribution to economic conversations.
- Act as a thought partner to internal teams, helping them clarify ideas, express their work effectively, and make better creative decisions.
- Collaborate with Brand Marketing, Brand Design, Content Marketing, Portfolio PMM, Copywriting, and Customer Marketing to enhance Stripe's storytelling.
- Define and maintain a quality standard for editorial and partnership work, making decisions on readiness and areas for improvement.
- Uphold a clear quality bar for editorial and partnership work, making reasoned decisions about what represents Stripe effectively.

- 8+ years of relevant experience in editorial, writing, creative development, journalism, publishing, media, brand strategy, or a related field.
- Experience writing consistently for a large online following.
- An exceptional portfolio of published or public-facing work showcasing strong writing, editing, original thinking, and audience resonance.
- Active engagement with online content, including newsletters, social platforms, and niche communities focused on technology, economics, science, business, and culture.
- Ability to spot emerging arguments, voices, and formats and engage authentically with intellectual honesty and a distinct point of view.
- Excellent editing skills with the ability to diagnose issues, identify key arguments, and provide feedback for improvement.
- Experience developing original editorial work, sponsored media, advertising, creative partnerships, or similar audience-facing programs.
- Understanding the difference between on-message content and genuinely interesting, useful, or discussable work.
- Ability to translate complex subjects (technology, business, economics, science, policy) into accessible content without oversimplification.
- Strong creative instincts and a sophisticated design sensibility, understanding the interplay of language, ideas, visuals, format, and distribution.
- Deep curiosity about the technology industry and its broader cultural and economic context.
