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.
At Stripe, our Mexico City office is a vibrant hub at the forefront of our mission to reshape the financial landscape for businesses worldwide. Our team prioritizes collaboration, innovation, and excellence. As a member of the Mexico City team, you'll be part of a mission-driven community dedicated to enhancing the global economy and increasing the GDP of the internet. We strive for excellence by creating with craft and beauty, while having fun and celebrating our successes together.
We cultivate a culture of collaboration, inclusivity, and support where every team member's voice matters. Our commitment shines through as we handle over a million support cases each year, empowering our users not just to solve problems but to achieve their goals.
About the team
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.
