Designer, Web Presence & Platform

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end design of Link and Bridge—from early strategy through final delivery, with minimal oversight
• Drive clarity in ambiguous or loosely defined briefs by synthesizing user needs, business goals, and technical constraints into a coherent point of view
• 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

Requirements

• 5–7 years of relevant design experience, ideally in web, product marketing, or brand contexts
• A strong portfolio demonstrating exceptional visual craft, systems thinking, and the ability to lead complex, multi-faceted design work independently
• Proven ability to own projects end-to-end—from framing the problem to shipping the solution—in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment
• Deep fluency in layout, typography, color, motion, and interaction
• Comfort navigating ambiguity: you can generate a clear plan from a loose brief and bring partners along with you
• Strong communication skills—you articulate your thinking clearly, manage expectations proactively, and reduce confusion rather than add to it
• Proficiency in Figma and experience working within component-based design systems
• Fluency with AI design tools and workflows—comfortable using AI for ideation, prototyping, and creative exploration
• Experience designing for CMS-driven websites with modular, scalable systems

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience designing event or campaign-driven marketing experiences (conferences, product launches, brand moments)
• Familiarity with designing for financial products or developer audiences
• Fluency with front-end development workflows
• Experience designing for international audiences, multilingual surfaces, or accessibility requirements
• Experience owning or contributing to design across multiple distinct web properties or brand identities simultaneously
• A track record of advancing shared design patterns, systems, or tooling
