About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses.

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

In this role, you’d be joining the Workplace Experience Operations team which is part of the broader Finance organization.

We're looking for an organized, flexible, and detail-oriented person who's enthusiastic about - and has a driving need to deliver-the best possible workplace experience for Stripes. You’ll own day-to-day office management for our Bucharest office, with potential to remotely manage smaller offices in the EMEA region. This includes: implementing programming aligned with the return to office at Stripe, engagement with key stakeholders in supporting office experience & culture, and strengthening vendor relationships to keep Bucharest-based Stripes engaged and productive.

  • Work closely with global Workplace colleagues, cross-functional partner teams, and functional leaders to ensure that the office you manage is a productive, comfortable environment that reflect Stripe’s Workplace philosophies
  • Create great first impressions; manage Stripe's front of house experience, ensuring both guests and employees have a positive, productive and functional office environment
  • Use vendor management best practices to provide Stripes best-in-class service whether issues are resolved in-house, by building management or by one of our partners
  • Conduct RFPs as necessary and QBRs
  • Establish and continue to refine vendor SLAs
  • Partner with EHS Manager to ensure health and safety regulations are met
  • Craft relevant communications and documentation regarding Workplace policies and programs for Stripes
  • Work closely with the Regional Experience manager and our Finance & Strategy partner to manage site opex budget and fixed assets; guide the team in submitting and maintaining POs
  • Develop and manage site specific meal and snack programs based on global food program framework as prepared by Food Program Manager
  • Support space planning, office expansions, and layout changes as required; coordinate move logistics
  • Manage and support events to ensure flawless event management and execution
  • Provide remote support to other EMEA offices, as needed, including potential for travel
  • Support the Workplace team's goals by taking on ad hoc tasks and projects as they arise
  • Partner with Regional Manager and Programs team to resource project/program support as needed
  • Partner with project managers (internal and external), cross-functional partner teams on new office builds and expansion

  • 5+ years of experience in office/facilities management in a fast-paced environment with a working knowledge of building systems and operational best practices
  • Demonstrated ability in vendor and budget management
  • Experience managing and developing a team to achieve goals efficiently

  • A driving need to deliver the best possible experience—you may have been called a perfectionist once or twice

Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in our Bucharest, Romania site have an 80% in-office expectation, and those in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico and Bengaluru, India work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.

Stripe does not yet include pay ranges in job postings in every country. Stripe strongly values pay transparency and is working toward pay transparency globally.
