What you’ll do

The Product Marketing Copywriter will embody Stripe’s voice and tone and help tell the story of our products across a variety of channels. Please note, this is not an advertising or brand copywriting role. While we appreciate big ideas and conceptual creative aptitude, this role is about craft: consistent, precise, and compelling product messaging, strategic use of space, and masterful economy of words. 

You are a dedicated copywriter and skilled editor who fully understands the power of well-constructed messaging across all channels. You have a firm grasp of voice and tone and know how to make it apparent in different types of content, from user comms to email nurture campaigns to web copy. You are a stickler for proper style, grammar, and punctuation. You are a copy tactician and love to share your knowledge with others. You have a keen sense of your audience and how to best use various marketing channels. You enjoy working on lots of projects at once because it keeps things interesting. You are deadline-driven and work with urgency and focus. You may self-identify as a perfectionist, but a productive one. You could probably write a square peg into a round hole if need be.
