# Vice Chair Office, Strategy & Operations - Company: [Stripe]() - Location: US-Remote - Remote: Yes - Team: 6314 Public Policy - Posted: September 9, 2026 ## Job description ## **Who we are** ### **About Stripe** Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies - from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups - use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career. ### **About the team** The Vice Chair Office sets Stripe's strategy across government relations, public affairs, and policy, and partners closely with publishing, philanthropy, and other external-facing programs — together, the parts of the company that shape how Stripe shows up in the world beyond the product itself, and that increasingly shape the long-term environment Stripe operates in. We translate the Vice Chair's external-impact priorities into a clear portfolio of programs, with disciplined decisions and coordinated execution behind them. The portfolio spans enduring work (policy strategy, government-relations cadence, external stakeholder relationships) and time-bound programs (major convenings, publishing initiatives, campaigns). As a result, the Policy team is one of our closest and largest cross-functional partners — much of what we do is built and run in close coordination with the policy team, not just adjacent to it. We're a small, high-output team working on questions with a long time horizon, and the work changes shape as the portfolio grows. ## **What you’ll do** This role works closely with the Chief of Staff on strategy and operations for the Vice Chair Office. You'll help design how this cross-functional portfolio runs, and you'll own individual programs end-to-end. Some weeks that means building a planning process from scratch; other weeks it means running a convening or driving a cross-functional initiative to a decision. You'll work at every altitude — from shaping how the team plans and prioritizes, to being in the room for the execution details that make a program land well. ### **Responsibilities** * Partner with the Chief of Staff to translate the Vice Chair's priorities into a clear portfolio of programs across policy, public affairs, publishing, and external partnerships * Design and run the team's operating rhythm — the planning, review, and decision forums that keep a fast-moving, cross-functional portfolio aligned * Own programs end-to-end: frame the objective, build the plan, drive execution, and report on outcomes * Build the operational foundations for a growing team — from how work gets prioritized and tracked, to how we define and measure success across a portfolio of programs that don't share a common metric today * Stand up the team's approach to measurement: define what success looks like per program, run experiments where useful, and track outcomes so the team can tell what's working * Represent the Vice Chair Office in cross-functional settings with comms, policy, legal, finance, and external partners * Spot risks and dependencies across the portfolio early and drive them to resolution * Take on new projects and ambiguous problems as the portfolio's priorities shift ## **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. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement. ### **Minimum requirements** * 3-5 years experience in strategy, program leadership, or an operating role supporting a senior leader or a complex, cross-functional team * A track record of turning ambiguous priorities into a structured plan and driving it through to execution * Strong written and verbal communication, with experience preparing materials for senior stakeholders * Good judgment about when to make a call yourself and when to escalate * Comfort managing several workstreams at once without losing track of the details * Impeccable organizational, project management and stakeholder management skills ### **Preferred qualifications** * Experience in policy, government relations, public affairs, or a related field * Experience working directly with senior executives * Experience building a process, program, or team structure from scratch * Experience defining success metrics or running experiments for programs that don't have an obvious, pre-built way to measure impact ## Apply [Apply on Stripe]() Canonical job page:
