Lead cross-functional collaboration with engineering, PMM, content design, brand, and product—facilitating alignment, integrating feedback, and keeping projects moving
Partner deeply with engineering throughout the design process—from exploring technical possibilities and constraints early, to co-creating solutions at the intersection of craft and code, and ensuring design intent carries through to final implementation
Develop and advance design systems, patterns, and components specific to your surfaces, ensuring they are extensible and maintainable at scale
Apply and evolve visual and interaction standards that uphold Stripe's quality bar across diverse surface types—from immersive event experiences to conversion-focused product pages
Use research insights, user testing, and performance data to ground your decisions and advocate for the user across partner conversations
Actively contribute to team quality—sharing your expertise, setting an example in critique, and helping raise the standard of work across the Presence team
