Short-form Video & Social, Community Comms

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 The Communications team builds and protects Stripe’s brand and influence across the world. Video and audio are increasingly important tools in shaping the world’s understanding of Stripe and the fantastic companies using our infrastructure to grow—accelerating economies, creating industries, and reinventing business models in the process. What you’ll do You’ll be the engine of Stripe’s short-form video strategy, making our content essential viewing for the world's most ambitious founders, operators, developers, and economists. Your mission is to take our rich library of content—from fireside chats with industry leaders to deep dives on the global economy—and distill it into intelligent, substantial clips (on YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and more). This isn't about chasing empty clicks; it's about earning the attention and trust of a highly discerning audience. You will also own our YouTube and Instagram video presence, transforming them into platforms renowned for their insight and quality. You’ll wear a lot of hats: producer, video editor, content commissioner, social media channel strategist, measurement aficionado, and more. Responsibilities Own Stripe’s YouTube channel and Instagram Reels, focused on providing additive insight to our core community of founders, developers, and thinkers. Edit clips from Stripe’s long-form content (e.g., Cheeky Pint, firesides from Stripe Sessions and Tours), with an exceptional eye for the most salient moments and nuanced arguments. Manage the end-to-end publishing process, including writing sharp, SEO-optimized titles and descriptions that speak to an intelligent audience. Continuously run experiments with formats, narrative structures, and editing styles (e.g., archival b-roll and graphic overlays) to discover what resonates most strongly. Advise partner teams developing video content (e.g., teams running webinars or events featuring Stripe customers) on how to optimize recordings and edits for the internet. Commission and manage the creation of other short-form assets, including high-quality animations and motion graphics, to support product launches and partnership announcements. Analyze performance data and qualitative feedback to refine our video strategy, ensuring every piece of content adds value and strengthens our brand. Own metrics and reporting across all our social platforms, including LinkedIn, X, and Substack. Who you are We're looking for a producer who understands that for Stripe, reach is secondary to resonance. You’re extremely online, and you have an intuitive feel for what drives attention. But you’re also intellectually curious, fluent in the worlds of technology and economics, and have a strong editorial point of view about what makes content truly valuable, not just viral. You’re paranoid about avoiding the malaise of undifferentiated corporate content and have a knack for surfacing the substantive insight in any discussion. 3+ years experience in video editing with a portfolio of short-form content that showcases an ability to distill complex ideas into concise, compelling narratives. Proficiency with tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or similar. Excellent editorial judgment; a "good nose" for the moments, quotes, and ideas that will resonate specifically with founders, developers, and economic thinkers. Experience managing creative projects, including commissioning work from external animators, motion designers, and agencies who meet a high bar for quality. Deep, hands‑on experience managing and growing a YouTube channel and/or Instagram account for a brand that serves a sophisticated, smart audience. Preferred qualifications Experience with AI video workflows (e.g., Descript, OpusClip, CapCut, Runway) The ability to work effectively with cross‑functional teams, translating complex internal discussions into clear, engaging public‑facing content. A strong understanding of YouTube SEO and platform algorithms, and how to leverage them to connect substantive content with the right people. 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 our Bucharest, Romania site have an 80% in‑office expectation, and those in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico and Bengaluru, India 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.
