These spaces are designed to promote collaboration, well-being, and productivity while adhering to the rigorous safety, security, and confidentiality standards required of a financial services company.

What you’ll do

We're looking for a strategic leader and experienced manager with a high EQ who's enthusiastic about, and has a driving need to deliver, the best possible workplace experience for Stripes. You will be a key member of our Experience team and responsible for ensuring that workplace operations, experiences, facilities, and programs run smoothly at our South San Francisco co-headquarters. As a business partner, you have a deep understanding of the needs, experiences, and day-to-day realities of Stripes at your location and build strong relationships not only with site leads but also with cross-functional partners across the organization.

A key part of the role is anticipating the needs of the business by understanding both the site and the broader context of company growth. You will gather and synthesize feedback from multiple sources to ensure the workplace strategy is informed by real insights from the ground. While you are not responsible for defining the overall strategy, you are expected to have a strong perspective on it and to lead its successful implementation at your site. This role requires a high level of expertise and operational oversight—from understanding how the building functions top to bottom to managing contractor teams, budgets, and ensuring financial accountability.

• Work closely with Workplace colleagues, cross-functional partner teams, functional leaders, and executives to determine the operational services needed to build and support Stripe’s evolving Workplace philosophies and ensure we are constantly providing a frictionless, safe & secure workplace.
• Work closely with the local site leadership team to plan office events that activate the office by creating engagement, connection, and an inclusive environment.
• Craft relevant communications and documentation regarding Workplace policies and programs for Stripes.
• Oversee your team in the operational support and site specific implementation for new and existing experience programs (e.g. space planning, EHS, Food), processes, standards, and policies as developed by our Food, Space Planning, and Programs teams.
• Drive innovation in the workplace experience, finding new ways to elevate the employee experience while supporting Stripes’s evolving needs.
• Support the Workplace team's goals by taking on ad hoc tasks and projects as they arise.
