About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform used by businesses of all sizes, from large enterprises to fast-growing startups, to accept payments, expand revenue, and unlock new business opportunities. The company’s goal is to make the internet’s economy larger and more accessible, giving people the chance to work on meaningful problems with broad global impact.

About the Team

The Product Marketing group focuses on gathering customer insight to shape product direction and guiding go-to-market strategy across Stripe’s product suite. It works closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, Partnerships, Demand Generation, and Campaigns, and stays involved throughout the product lifecycle—from influencing product development to launch, commercialization, and post-launch adoption growth.

Role Overview

Stripe is seeking an experienced copy editor to ensure every piece of published content aligns with the company’s style standards and editorial quality expectations. This role sits on the Narrative and Editorial team’s Copy Desk and covers a wide range of marketing materials, including blog articles, guides, reports, infographics, customer stories, emails, web pages, ads, and video transcripts. Along with editing, the role also involves maintaining editorial documentation, refining AI-assisted writing and editing tools, and improving workflows so the Copy Desk can operate efficiently at scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Edit a broad range of marketing assets to match house style, preserve voice and tone, improve clarity, remove mistakes, and replace dense language with clearer phrasing.
• Regularly update and strengthen the style guide as editorial challenges evolve and standards change.
• Support the development and maintenance of AI tools used by the Copy Desk, along with self-service tools that help marketers improve content before it reaches editorial review, using an internal no-code platform.
• Refine intake, queue management, service-level handling, and quality assurance processes to increase efficiency and keep pace with higher review volume.

Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a meticulous editor who values clear and accurate writing and can adapt tone across formats such as nurture emails, educational content, and social posts. They should have a strong command of grammar, punctuation, and style, as well as a strategic mindset and a willingness to improve editorial programs and cross-functional processes.

Minimum Qualifications

• At least 5 years of copy editing experience across multiple channels and a variety of content types, within marketing or another field.
• Experience collaborating with diverse teams, including teams working across regions, and an understanding of how messaging needs may differ by context.
• Strong enthusiasm for copy editing and a deep appreciation for the value of polished writing.
• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Journalism, Communications, English, Creative Writing, or a related discipline.

Preferred Qualifications

• Background working with creative or design teams.
• Experience editing and writing technical content.
• Good understanding of how B2B marketing teams operate and what they aim to achieve.
• Familiarity with analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Tableau, as well as project management tools like Asana and Jira.

Remote Work Information

A remote location means being at least 35 miles (56 kilometers) away from one of Stripe’s offices. Remote employees may visit an office for team meetings, on-sites, meetups, or events, but are expected to work from home on a regular basis rather than from a Stripe office. Stripe does not provide relocation support for moves to a remote location. Applicants are encouraged to apply for roles aligned with where they currently live or plan to live.

Pay and Benefits

The annual base salary range in the United States for this position is $143,400 to $215,200. For sales roles, this would represent OTE, but that note does not apply to this copy editor position. The final range may vary by level and will be refined during the hiring process based on experience, qualifications, and location. Candidates outside the United States may request the salary range for their region during interviews.

Additional Benefits

Benefits may include equity, company bonus or sales commission/bonus, a 401(k) plan, medical, dental, and vision coverage, and wellness stipends.
