About the Team

The Product Marketing team at Stripe is dedicated to generating customer insights that inform product strategy and lead go-to-market initiatives.

Unlike many PMM teams, we engage across the entire product lifecycle, from product shaping and launch to post-launch adoption.

What You'll Do

We are searching for an experienced copy editor to guarantee all published content adheres to our house style and meets our high-quality standards. The Copy Desk, part of the Narrative and Editorial team, is responsible for copy editing diverse marketing content, including blog posts, guides, reports, infographics, customer stories, emails, web pages, ads, and video transcripts. Beyond editing, you will maintain our style guide and editorial documentation, customize and enhance AI writing and editing tools, and streamline operational processes to ensure efficient Copy Desk operations.

Responsibilities

• Review and copy edit all types of marketing content to enforce style guidelines and maintain quality standards. Ensure fidelity to our voice and tone, eliminate errors, simplify jargon into plain language, and refine awkward phrasing into graceful prose.
• Continuously amend, improve, and clarify our style guide in response to new challenges, evolving problems, and shifts in our voice and standards.
• Develop and maintain AI tools for the Copy Desk team's editing process, as well as self-serve tools for marketers to use before content reaches Copy Desk review. This requires no technical skills, utilizing our existing internal platform.
• Iterate on existing operational processes for intake, queue management, service level agreements, and quality assurance. Identify opportunities to increase speed and capacity as we scale and review volume grows.
