- Build the next chapter of Stripe's policy communications function. Partner with the policy team to develop clear points-of-view on industry, regulatory, and policy topics, amplify through appropriate channels, establish relationships with journalists and influencers in policy and tech, thought leaders in AI, crypto, and tech policy, rapid response capabilities, and navigate political/regulatory moments in D.C.

- Fluency in the tech media landscape, including an existing network of relationships with reporters, editors, and influencers in tech policy and business press.
