About the team Brand Studio sits at the center of everything Stripe shows the world — from visual identity and brand systems to campaigns, events, digital experiences, and global marketing. The studio functions as a creative multiplier: setting the standards, building the systems, and producing the work that helps Stripe show up with intention and quality across every touchpoint. World-class creative output requires world-class operational infrastructure. Brand Operations is the function that makes Brand Studio's work possible at scale — not by managing the execution, but by architecting the conditions that enable it. That means shaping what enters the studio, ensuring clarity before a brief is written, and building the systems that allow creative directors and producers to focus on what they're here to do: create exceptional work. What you’ll do Most operations leaders are brought in to fix problems. We're looking for someone who prevents them — and designs the system in which prevention becomes the norm. The Head of Brand Operations exists upstream from creative execution. This role's job is to ensure the work entering Brand Studio is strategically aligned, clarified, prioritized, resourced, and fully prepared for delivery before it ever reaches a creative director or producer. It also means ensuring the company understands how to work with Brand Studio — what it takes to be a ready partner, and where a given initiative stands on the roadmap. When th
