    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 Stripe Research team is part of Stripe's Design team and works across many types of brand and product initiatives at Stripe to more effectively and efficiently deliver products and experiences that fulfill user needs. And since Stripe's main audience is other people who build products, we agonize over and take pride in crafting user-friendly and user-focused experiences.

    In addition to conducting primary research, we also enable other Stripes (marketers, sales, engineers, product managers, designers, operations, etc.) to learn and apply research skills to global problems. You will play a role in shaping how we build research as a core competency across Stripe and define how we put users first when conducting research.

    What you'll do

    As a Quantitative Researcher, you will partner with product, design, marketing, and Go-To-Market teams to lead, and run research programs that drive customer insights for the Stripe product and lifecycle experiences. We're looking for a researcher with deep data sense to help us instrument sentiment programs and weave data together to give deeper insight into the Stripe experience.

    Responsibilities

  • Conduct quantitative research studies in partnership with other researchers using methods such as survey research and behavioral/log data analysis that deepen our understanding of the user experience and drive product strategy
  • Help build the research systems, platforms, and reporting to scale Research measurement programs
  • Lead longitudinal sentiment programs (CSAT, dev sentiment, etc) and disseminate research insights to evolve and enhance Stripe's understanding of user needs and identify innovative opportunities to meet those needs
  • Build close partnerships with Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Marketing leaders to build the infrastructure for ongoing tracking and ad-hoc survey research
  • Prioritize research needs and approaches across multiple work streams to work on the right project, scale, and scope at the right time and ensure impact by delivering actionable insights
  • 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

  • Has 3+ years of relevant research experience working on digital experiences and generating actionable insights that drive impact
  • Has a desire to do hands-on research, support research data infrastructure, build reporting and dashboards, and work on an early-stage team, from planning and sampling to analysis and insights delivery
  • Can conduct complex quantitative research at scale and demonstrate the use of a variety of research methods (longitudinal programs, A/B testing, trigger-based automated surveys)
  • Has experience working with large-scale data
  • Proficiency in SQL and comfortable programming in R or Python. Have experience analyzing complex data and building statistical models
  • Can distill research findings into clear, and compelling data-backed presentations, data visualizations, and/or infographics
  • Preferred qualifications

  • You're a mixed-methods researcher with strength in quantitative research
  • Technical background or experience with developer-focused research
  • Experience building or scaling research platforms, systems, or programs in a complex corporate setting
  • Ability to tell compelling stories with data and are skilled in explaining your work, process, and decisions to cross-functional stakeholders. You crave feedback to help you produce your best work
  • Relentless user focus and solving for their needs and wants. You put users first and have experience driving impact from insights
  • Can balance working with urgency and focus with methodological rigor and adapt as needed
  • Hybrid work at Stripe

    This role is available either in an office or a remote location (typically, 35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

    Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

    A remote location, in most cases, is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently or plan to live.

    Pay and benefits

    The annual US base salary range for this role is $128,200 - $192,300. For sales roles, the range provided is the role's On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate's experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

    Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.
