    About this role

    Who we are

    About Stripe

    Stripe builds financial infrastructure for businesses—from ambitious startups to global enterprises. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we’re building the tools that help businesses participate in and grow the global economy.

    About the team

    Stripe’s Crypto team is building financial infrastructure for a world where money moves as easily as information. Across Stripe, Bridge, and Privy, we help businesses build products powered by stablecoins, wallets, and programmable money movement.

    Open Issuance is central to that opportunity. Built by Bridge, a Stripe company, it enables businesses to launch and manage their own stablecoins. Alongside it, Open Standard—the independent organization behind Open USD (OUSD)—is building a shared stablecoin network with broad distribution and economics designed to benefit the businesses driving adoption. 

    We’re hiring one of the founding sellers of our Open Issuance go-to-market team. You’ll partner closely with Open Standard and teams across Stripe, Bridge, and Privy on a major strategic bet: challenging the stablecoin duopoly and giving businesses more choice, control, and participation in the economics of digital dollars.

    This is an opportunity to help build a market—not simply sell into an established one.

    What you’ll do

    You’ll own new-business development with high-potential businesses building the next generation of financial products. You’ll help founders, executives, and technical teams understand where stablecoins can create meaningful value, whether through adopting OUSD or launching their own stablecoin with Open Issuance.

    As a founding seller, you’ll shape the strategy as well as execute it. You’ll identify early customers, develop compelling commercial use cases, clo
