About the team
Stripe’s comms organisation does more than the traditional: we produce films that get shown at festivals, sell over 300,000 books annually, run some of the fastest growing social media channels in tech, write talks and skits for external and internal events attended by thousands of people, build physical machines that track commerce in real-time, create podcasts in pubs, and much more besides. We believe in small, elite, high-taste teams and aim to run a tight operation.
