User Operations at Stripe interacts with people from a multitude of backgrounds, and our team has grown to match that diversity. People on the team have previously provided support at MIT and Ringling Bros., run an indie bookstore chain, created a sustainable seafood business, trained as a professional chef, and so on. We’re a close group that’s passionate about helping people, improving products, and animated GIFs. If you’re a native speaker of Japanese language, constantly curious, a strong writer, and a fast researcher, we want to hear from you! You'll: - Spend the majority of your time interacting with users by email, and occasionally by phone. - Optimize our internal and external documentation and processes surrounding a host of products. - Work closely with other teams to improve our product offerings and messaging around new products. - Spend some time analyzing our processes and instigating changes to help scale our operations. - Gain unique insights into how thousands of businesses on Stripe scale and operate. - Have an opportunity to learn how Stripe operates from the ground up and make a real impact on the future of the organization. We're looking for people who: - Enjoy writing, and do so quickly and clearly (you need to be fluent and highly proficient in English). - Enjoy talking about technical concepts, have great analytical skills, and would be comfortable explaining how Stripe works to a range of audiences. - Can empathize with users and quickly grasp the issues they’re facing. - Enjoy the puzzle of solving open-ended problems. - Love constantly learning about a changing technical product, even when it's a little out of your depth. - Are happy to take on new projects, which can sometimes involve quickly researching to become a subject matter expert while seeing things through to completion.
