## Description (the employer's text)

### 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 Policy team works to understand and shape the regulatory and political environment in which Stripe operates — advising on product and business strategy, developing Stripe's policy positions, and engaging with policymakers and regulators around the world. The Policy Development & Strategy team sits at the center of this work, connecting Policy to Stripe's product and business teams and ensuring the company can pursue a proactive, coordinated policy agenda.

Millions of businesses use Stripe as a core platform to build and grow their own businesses, and increasingly that means building with AI. As AI becomes central to how businesses are built and run, this raises new questions: how infrastructure for AI should operate, what responsibilities sit at the infrastructure layer, and how to keep that infrastructure open, secure, and trusted.

### What you’ll do

We are looking for a public policy professional to define Stripe’s approach to these questions and carry it into the world. In this role, you will develop Stripe’s positions on the public policy issues raised by AI infrastructure and help set the principles behind how Stripe’s AI platforms are governed, including trust, safety, and supportability. You will engage policymakers, regulators, industry groups, civil society, and other partners on these issues, in partnership with Stripe’s Government Relations team.

The right person will be equally comfortable working through a hard policy question with Product and Legal teams, briefing senior leaders, and representing Stripe's position with regulators or industry coalitions.

### Responsibilities

- Develop Stripe's policy strategy for AI infrastructure. Identify existing and emerging public policy issues and develop substantive positions and priorities that advance Stripe’s interests and reflect our values.
- Shape platform policy principles. Work with the cross-functional teams that own day-to-day enforcement to set the principles and frameworks behind platform governance, acceptable use, model listing, and escalation, while preserving the benefits of neutral and open infrastructure.
- Drive cross-functional alignment. Bring Product, Legal, Comms, Risk, Operations, and Government Relations to shared positions and priorities, and advance work from open question to decision to external execution.
- Advise the business on difficult policy choices. Identify emerging risks and opportunities, translate external policy developments into product and business-model implications, and make recommendations on launches, supportability questions, public commitments, and other high-stakes decisions.
- Develop Stripe's external policy positions. Turn internal policy work into external policy positions on AI infrastructure regulation in the US and globally: US AI policy at the federal and state level, national-security and export-control regimes, the EU AI Act, and emerging rules and standards for AI intermediaries and providers.
- Engage externally on the substance. Engage policymakers, regulators, national security agencies, industry groups, standards bodies, academics, civil society, and other stakeholders to understand and anticipate policy developments; help build relationships and coalitions; and work with the Government Relations team to proactively shape policy debates.
- Lead proactive public-policy initiatives and partnerships. Identify opportunities for Stripe to convene stakeholders, support research, develop industry frameworks, or partner with external organizations on difficult AI-governance and trust-and-safety questions.
