About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies - from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups - use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead.

About the team

Our Product Marketing team’s mission is to generate customer insights that inform Stripe’s product strategy, and lead go-to-market for our suite of products. Product Marketing is a highly cross-functional role at Stripe, partnering closely with Product and Engineering, Sales, Partnerships, Demand Generation and Campaigns to name a few. Different from many other Product Marketing teams, our team works across the entire product lifecycle, from helping shape the product, to driving launch and commercialization, to growing product adoption post-launch.

What you'll do

We're looking for an experienced copy editor to ensure all the content we publish reflects our house style and meets our quality bar for excellence. Our Copy Desk sits within the Narrative and Editorial team, and is responsible for copy editing all kinds of marketing content—blog posts, guides, reports, infographics, customer stories, emails, web pages, ads, video transcripts, and more. In addition to editing content, you'll also update and maintain our style guide and other editorial documentation, customize and refine AI writing and editing tools, and improve our operational processes to keep Copy Desk running smoothly.

Responsibilities

• Review and copy edit all kinds of marketing content to apply our style guidelines and uphold our quality bar. Ensure fidelity to our voice and tone, eliminate errors, replace jargon with plainspeak, and turn clunkiness into grace.

• Continuously amend, improve, and clarify our style guide as we encounter and solve new problems, and as our voice and standards evolve.

• Build and maintain AI tools the Copy Desk team can use in the editing process, as well as self-serve tools that marketers can use upstream from bringing content to Copy Desk for review. This requires no technical skills. You'll use our existing internal platform for this.
