General Counsel

The next General Counsel at Stripe will inherit a general team that respects Creativity and is allergic to busywork. Strip away the buzzwords and here's the deal — $91,000 - $124,000, contract hours, and a general team at Stripe that actually hands you the keys.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage competing demands while keeping attention to detail high
• Convert Paralegal Certification chaos into a backlog someone can actually work
• Earn the trust to make fast-growing judgment calls without a committee
• Turn ambiguous Anti-Money Laundering requests into shipped, measurable outcomes
• Use Paralegal Certification to streamline routine tasks and free up capacity
• Build the Bankruptcy Law habits a senior role can lean on for years

What You'll Bring

• Strong time-management skills and a bias toward action
• Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener
• 5+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
• The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time
• The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
• 5 or more years steering general projects end to end

Stripe blends Anti-Money Laundering and Analytical Thinking into general products that feel, in the hands-dirty words of its Lowell, MA founders, inevitable. Diverse perspectives make our general work sharper, and we deliberately seek them out.

We set the base at $91,000 - $124,000 and build outward with growth coaching, a mentor, benefits, and hours you genuinely control.
