Who we are
About Stripe
Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies - from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups - use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career.
About The Team
This role is on the Intercept team within Public Goods at Stripe, which also houses Frontier. Respiratory viruses kill 1 million people a year, cost us $600B annually, disrupt everyday life, and periodically threaten civilization. Recent breakthroughs may make it possible to develop and deploy broad-spectrum preventatives and air cleaning technologies that defend against common respiratory infections. Intercept is a $500M philanthropic initiative that aims to radically reduce the burden of respiratory infections, and eventually eliminate them altogether. It’s part of Public Goods at Stripe, which also houses Frontier. Learn more about Intercept at our launch post and our website.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
What you’ll do
Intercept is looking for a strategic, execution-oriented operator to join our air cleaning technologies (ACTs) team. Intercept’s ACT function is focused on catalyzing the supply and demand of high-quality ACT products that can be deployed at scale. This role will focus on mapping the universe of available and in-development products, identifying gaps relative to prospective customers’ needs and operational barriers to adoption, and filling those gaps. Intercept is a small team, so you'll have a chance to work on a wide variety of topics and work directly with many of our partners. You’ll own specific outcomes end-to-end and have a chance to contribute to our ACTs strategy over time. This is an individual contributor role for someone who is obsessed with getting things done: clarifying goals and priorities, understanding stakeholder needs, identifying and removing blockers, then working to make the process work more smoothly the next time. Experience with physical products (e.g., heating, ventilation, and air conditioning; mechanical, electrical, and plumbing; indoor air quality) is a major bonus, but the general attributes described below and a willingness to learn are more important. We need someone who can (1) understand physical products and what it takes to help customers evaluate, pilot, and maintain them, and (2) zoom out to synthesize what their experience doing so means for the long-term goal of scale deployment. A successful person will be action-oriented and comfortable working independently (vs. waiting to be told what to do) and a great listener who can translate user needs into product and process improvement initiatives.
Responsibilities
- Track and evaluate commercially available (and upcoming) air cleaning tech: review available products across standards and quality, installation, servicing and maintenance needs, and guidance for facilities managers etc.
- Help build and maintain a living product roadmap and target product profile (TPP) for ACTs.
- Use this knowledge to help us design indoor air quality (IAQ) pilots for prospective ACT adopters, conduct requests for proposals (RFPs) for suppliers to run these pilots, execute them, and scale capacity.
- Support the creation of playbooks for IAQ-curious organizations to DIY their own IAQ improvement projects, and ride-along with them to better understand blockers (then conceive of and execute work to solve those blockers at scale).
- Conduct focus groups to learn how decision-makers (facilities operators, people and finance leaders) in key segments consider IAQ investments.
- Build relationships with manufacturers, installers, servicers, etc. in the air cleaning tech space to help us evaluate new opportunities.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
- 7-10+ years of experience in high impact strategy and operations, special projects, or commercial roles.
- Highly self-directed, hands-on project owner who executes directly (rather than delegating) and is eager to drive outcomes rather than manage a checklist of tasks.
- Expert communicator (both written and verbal) who can toggle between executive-style structured reasoning, in-the-weeds details, stakeholder research and non-expert audiences.
- Experience evaluating physical products or technologies against structured criteria, including quality, operational fit, and feasibility.
- Experience managing pilots or proof-of-concept programs, including running RFP or vendor selection processes.
- Experience conducting structured stakeholder interviews or focus groups and translating findings into actionable recommendations.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- HVAC/MEP familiarity.
- Experience at an organization that sells or manages physical product installations.
- Public health or biosecurity experience.
LOCATION
This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).
In-office expectations
Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.
Working remotely at Stripe
A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently live or plan to live.
PAY AND BENEFITS
The annual US base salary range for this role is $159,100 - $238,700. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.
Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Cleaning
Frame your credentials around specialty occupation
Cleaning and facilities roles qualify for E-3 visa only when they require a specific bachelor's degree. Reframe your qualifications around environmental services management, facilities operations, or a related field rather than general cleaning experience.
Target facilities management and janitorial contracting firms
Large facilities management companies and commercial cleaning contractors who hold federal or hospital contracts are more familiar with work visa requirements than small independent operators. Focus your search on employers with existing compliance infrastructure.
Search verified E-3 sponsors using Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to find U.S. employers who have sponsored E-3 visas for similar roles. Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service manages the entire process from offer to consulate appointment, so you and your employer aren't starting from scratch.
Confirm specialty occupation status before accepting an offer
Ask your prospective employer whether the role is classified under a specific SOC code that requires a degree. If the job description doesn't specify an educational requirement, the DOL may reject the LCA, stalling your visa application before it starts.
Verify your employer can file an LCA before your start date
Your employer must file a certified Labor Condition Application with DOL before you can apply for an E-3 at the consulate. Confirm this timeline with HR early, since DOL processing can take seven to ten business days even for straightforward filings.
Document your Australian degree equivalency for the consulate
Australian three-year bachelor's degrees are generally accepted as equivalent to U.S. four-year degrees for E-3 purposes, but consular officers may ask for clarification. Have official transcripts and a credential evaluation ready to support your application.
E-3 Visa Cleaning: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Cleaning jobs in the U.S. that offer E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to find U.S. employers who have sponsored E-3 visas for similar roles. Because E-3 sponsorship in cleaning and facilities is less common than in tech or finance, searching specifically for employers with an existing E-3 or H-1B visa filing history significantly narrows your pool to employers who understand the process.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Do Cleaning roles actually qualify as specialty occupations for the E-3?
Most front-line cleaning positions don't qualify because the E-3 requires a role that normally demands at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field. However, roles like environmental services manager, facilities operations director, or infection control specialist can qualify when the job genuinely requires a relevant degree and the employer structures the position accordingly.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Cleaning and facilities roles?
The E-3 has a meaningful practical advantage for Australians: there's no lottery, so a qualified application filed at any time of year can proceed directly to a consulate interview. The H-1B requires winning a random lottery before anything else happens, which makes it an unreliable path. Both visas require the same specialty occupation standard, but the E-3 process is faster and more predictable for roles that qualify.
What happens to my E-3 status if my cleaning or facilities employer loses a contract?
Your E-3 is tied to your specific employer, so if they lose a major contract and your role is eliminated, your status is at risk. You have a 60-day grace period to find a new qualifying employer and transfer your E-3. Start the job search immediately and confirm your new employer can file a fresh LCA and support a new E-3 application within that window.
