Forward Deployed AI Accelerator, Marketing

We're looking for people who have already lived the transformation they'll be driving for others. You've used AI to fundamentally change how work gets done, not as a novelty, but as your default operating mode.

• You are a deep AI practitioner. You build agents, automations, and tools fluently. You don't just know what AI can do in theory. You've built things that changed how real teams operate, and the people you built for actually use what you shipped. You build in real time alongside the people you support.
• You spot transformation opportunities and execute on them. You look at a team's workflows and see where AI changes the economics: where existing work can be done in a fraction of the time, or where entirely new programs become viable that weren't worth doing before. Then you build the thing, not just the slide.
• You understand marketing work. You either have direct experience in marketing or quickly learn the workflows, deliverables, tools, and pressures of your assigned cohort. You know that understanding someone's work is a prerequisite to transforming it.
• You are a pattern recognizer. When you build something that works for one person, you immediately see how it applies to others. You think in systems, not one-off solutions.
• You are a strong communicator. You explain technical concepts clearly to non-technical audiences, adapt your style to different people, and make progress visible to leadership and stakeholders.
• You are high-caliber, persistent, and versatile. Your skills and experience are valuable across the company. You're the kind of person who succeeds in many roles at Stripe.
• You bias toward action and speed. You'd rather show someone a working proof-of-concept on their own deliverable today than present a polished deck about what's theoretically possible next quarter.
• You are comfortable with ambiguity and evolution. This is a new team building a new operating model. The playbook will be rewritten as we learn. You thrive in that environment.
• 5+ years of professional experience in a role requiring diagnostic thinking, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration
• Demonstrated, hands-on experience building and deploying AI-powered agents, tools, automations, or workflows that real people use in their actual work, whether that made existing processes meaningfully more efficient or made previously unviable work possible for the first time
• Proficiency with AI development tools and platforms (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, custom agent frameworks, API integrations, workflow automation tools)
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences and adapt your style to different learners
• Comfort working across multiple workstreams and relationships simultaneously (you'll be supporting 25–45 marketers at varying stages of their AI journey)
• Track record of coaching, teaching, or enabling others, with evidence that people you've helped actually changed how they work
• Experience in a formal AI transformation role where the job was substantially about identifying opportunities for workflow transformation and executing on them with hands-on builds
• Experience helping people become more expert AI users and capable builders
• Experience in marketing, marketing operations, growth, or a closely adjacent function, including familiarity with marketing technology stacks (e.g., Marketo, Salesforce, analytics platforms, content management tools)
