About the team

The Communications team builds and protects Stripe’s brand and influence across the world. We’re looking for an entrepreneurial and creative communications leader to deepen the understanding around the positive economic impact Stripe is having in Ireland. You’ll be part of Stripe’s International Communications team. 

What you’ll do

As well as being the location of Stripe’s dual HQ (alongside South San Francisco), Ireland is home to many fast-growing businesses powered by Stripe and flagship initiatives such as the Stripe Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition. We’re proud of our role in the Irish economy, and this is a terrific role for a world-class communications leader who is eager to help deepen our reputation and positive impact. The ideal candidate is highly flexible, ambitious and creative. They’re passionate about engaging with Ireland’s most entrepreneurial companies—from tech unicorns like Wayflyer and Flipdish to iconic organisations like the GAA and The Irish Times. They’re also close to Ireland’s tech and business community.

Responsibilities

• Shape Stripe’s narrative in Ireland by actively connecting with the country’s most interesting thinkers and builders. You will find creative, ever-changing tactics to underscore how Stripe drives economic progress for Ireland, identifying new ways to advance science and technology (including the Stripe Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition).
• Work closely with Stripe partners and users of all sizes, infusing their voices into campaigns, news announcements, and other activities. 
• Own relationships with key Irish reporters, influencers, and opinion formers and manage reactive issues as they arise. 
• Work hand-in-hand with our local Irish leadership team, across product, go-to-market, and policy.

Who you are

We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply.

Minimum requirements

• Highly entrepreneurial. You must be highly adaptable, fast to learn, and possess a track record of building creative campaigns from scratch.
