Staff Brand Designer, Link

Staff Brand Designer, Link

At Stripe, we've spent the last 15 years building financial infrastructure for the internet, serving millions of people and businesses worldwide. Our flagship consumer product, Link, makes online payments and digital transactions effortless and secure—the digital wallet for what's next.

This is a unique opportunity to continue building a standalone brand and introduce it to new global audiences. You'll play a key role in making payments more personal and convenient while doing some of the most impactful work of your career.

Sitting within Brand Studio, the Link team is building Stripe's first consumer brand. We build, evolve, and maintain a versatile, forward-looking visual identity system and find clear, fresh ways to apply it across surfaces. The brand designers on our team are multidisciplinary: they design robust visual systems, lead art direction, and craft surfaces that prioritize brand and product storytelling.

Working with cross-functional teams across Stripe and external partners, we set the vision and execute to a high-quality bar. Our work shows up IRL, online, and everywhere in between.

You'll be joining a highly creative team that spans anywhere from developing storytelling to creating digital tools, brand systems to rapid ideation. The work is highly experimental, idea-driven, and very collaborative and cross-functional.

Be an adamant maker that is genuinely curious, experimental, and loves to tinker, iterate quickly, and innovate on ideas, narrative, and making beautiful things

Creative coding or creative technologist background is a nice-to-have

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (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 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 live or plan to live.

The annual US base salary range for this role is $210,400 - $315,600. 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 location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.
