Responsibilities:

• Work with our data science team to find and interpret signals in our data that illuminate emerging trends, new categories, and structural shifts in the global economy.
• Scour publicly available macroeconomic data to weave into stories about trends we're seeing on Stripe.
• Own data stories end-to-end – from forming the hypothesis, to exploring and analyzing data, to shaping the narrative, visualization, and final content, all partnering closely with our head of economic research.
• Turn complex datasets into clear, elegant visualizations that make ideas legible and persuasive.
• Publish original data-driven editorial, and help ensure the strongest ideas travel – through social, press, partnerships, and speaking platforms.
• Run Stripe Economics, and launch other new editorial channels (e.g. Substack, Twitter) to disseminate data stories and build online communities around them.
• Work closely with the Economics, Data Science, and Policy teams at Stripe to refine questions, validate findings, and uphold a high bar for rigor.
• Collaborate with external researchers, academics, and journalists to extend the reach and impact of Stripe's economic insights.

You're highly entrepreneurial, enjoying devising and launching new ideas, and relentlessly improving what we already do. You have a knack for turning raw data into a clear insight, a memorable chart, and a story people want to read. You bring taste, curiosity, and a strong editorial point of view, alongside the technical ability to work with data. You have a journalist's instincts – drawn to early signals, skeptical of easy narratives, and motivated by explaining not just what is happening, but why it matters. You care about craft, write well, and enjoy working across disciplines to turn complex systems into clear, rigorous stories.

Minimum requirements:

• Experience working with large datasets and producing accurate, public-facing analysis.
• 5 years of experience publishing original work (e.g. running a Substack/newsletter, or writing within a newsroom or media organization).
• Exceptional writer across short and long formats.
