About the team
Brand Studio lays the foundations that help Stripe accelerate. We do this by creating, evolving, and maintaining Stripe's high-quality, versatile, and forward-looking brand design systems, experiences, and advertising campaigns. We sweat the details. We make it seem effortless. Motion is at the core of how we bring the brand to life—from live event stages to digital campaigns, motion design is our most expressive storytelling medium.
What you’ll do
Motion Designers at Stripe demonstrate a passion for the craft of movement and a deep understanding of how motion communicates brand character. You will be responsible for defining and advancing Stripe's motion language across event experiences, digital surfaces, and mainstage scenic and creative content. You work at the intersection of design systems and cinematic storytelling, creating motion frameworks that scale while still feeling intentional and human. The ideal candidate is technically fluent, conceptually strong, crisply articulates motion decisions, and collaborates seamlessly with creative directors, producers, marketers, and engineering partners.

Share motion knowledge and best practices with teammates
Steward teams through large-scale motion projects and productions
