Social Media, Customer Support Associate

Stripe was built with simplicity in mind. We strive to deliver frictionless experiences for all of our users, whether they are an Independent Business, Startup, SMB, or Enterprise, and our mission is to provide all Stripe users with the best support experience possible. Today, Stripe handles over a million support cases per year and processes millions of internal transactions. We're going to achieve excellence by thinking of support in a novel, solution-oriented way, and viewing operations as an integral enabler of all of Stripe's growth.

Stripe has unique operational problems resulting from both our type of scale and the type of businesses we partner with as a result of "growing the GDP of the internet." Stripes leverage their understanding of our products, the financial industry and money movement, and our processes to support both internal and external users. Doing so requires us to invest significant resources into building this experience ourselves.

What you'll do

The role of Ops Associate can be interpreted as a Stripe "athlete" that will engage in either internal-facing or external-facing (e.g., support, risk) workflows, or both. OA roles will be highly operational in nature and will largely be aligned with case-level or process-type work. OAs will work on workflows which are considered to be "medium complexity" or sensitive in nature, therefore requiring internal Stripe-level systems and tools access, meaning that it cannot be outsourced. As the SDC matures and capability is established, we can expect the complexity of work at SDC to increase, and additionally aspire to drive improvements in the work we are responsible for.

Responsibilities

• Deliver exceptional Stripe experience by efficiently and accurately resolving issues across social media platforms (e.g., X, LinkedIn, Facebook, and others)

• Help resolve issues that are escalated via social media, including technical product questions, and work to prevent those issues from happening again

• Partner with internal teams across Stripe (e.g., Comms, Incident Ops, Risk), serving as the ultimate escalation point for high-stakes user issues and proactively initiating incident reports with a user-first mindset

• Coordinate executive escalations from Stripe's leaders with other teams

• Contribute to and manage new programs focused on improving the Stripe user experience

• Identify operational process gaps and initiate continuous improvements to accelerate global scale while delivering an exceptional experience for Stripe users

• Be part of building a brand-new team and operational culture for Stripe
