What you’ll do
As Stripe’s Climate Program Manager, you will set the strategy and lead the execution and reporting for Stripe’s corporate net zero program. You’ll partner with a wide range of stakeholders within and outside of Stripe – Accounting, Finance, Legal, Procurement, Facilities, Sales, and carbon accounting and assurance providers – to refine our greenhouse gas inventory, deliver a reduction and removal roadmap that meets our climate targets, and provide inputs to global ESG disclosures.
This role requires someone with expertise in carbon accounting and reductions strategy, sharp program and process management, a track record of getting big things done fast, and excellent judgement to make the ‘right’ recommendations for Stripe’s program.
Responsibilities
Net Zero strategy (~15%): Own and evolve Stripe’s corporate net zero strategy, including Stripe’s transition plan, priorities, budget, annual goals, emissions forecasts, removal retirements, and progress tracking. Stay current on evolving disclosure requirements, net zero guidance, and industry best practices to ensure Stripe’s program is high impact and best in class
Emissions measurement (~30%): Build Stripe’s annual greenhouse gas inventory. Collect data inputs, evolve methodology, manage Stripe’s footprint vendors, run a rigorous and auditable process with cross-functional stakeholders, and identify opportunities to use AI to improve the process
Emissions reporting (~30%): Serve as Stripe’s subject-matter expert to deliver inputs to ESG controllership for regulatory disclosures and to customers for RFPs
Reduction program (~25%): Develop and manage emissions reduction initiatives across Stripe. This will include efforts like securing renewable electricity for Stripe’s scope 2 emissions, as well as supporting the creative and high-impact interventions like carbon removal or lower-emission data centers that we need to reach global net zero
