About the team
The Executive Customer Relations team exists within Operations to help address the most escalated user issues. This team responds to users who have sent their issue or concerns to an executive at Stripe. We own the resolution of the immediate issue at hand, as well as ensuring that the factors that led to the escalation are addressed and remediated.
Ultimately, these cases often shine a light on points of failure within Stripe, and the ECR team has the opportunity to create transformative user experiences, while also helping rectify the structural issues that resulted in the escalation in the first place. This is a high visibility, high impact role, with the responsibility to work with execs, users, and cross functional stakeholders, all while helping drive operational excellence and outstanding user experience.
