About the team

The Escalations team offers a single point-of-entry for all user escalations raised by Stripes on behalf of a user. This team is accountable for all user escalation resolutions by either direct responsibility for resolution or by partnering with other support and non-support teams to facilitate a resolution. We aim to help users find speedy issue resolution and alleviate confusion and unnecessary effort from non-Support Stripes to do this. We will dig into specific user escalations to find top drivers for our most frequent and painful issues affecting our largest users as well as analyze the experience for the broader subset of users.

Ultimately, these cases often shine a light on points of failure within Stripe, and the User Escalations team has the opportunity to create transformative user experiences, while also helping edit Stripe to rectify the structural issues that resulted in the escalation in the first place.

This is a high visibility, high impact role, with the responsibility to work with users and cross functional stakeholders, all while helping build this team from the ground up.
