About Stripe

of companies - from the world’s largest enterprises to the most
ambitious startups - use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue,

About the team

Frontier is an advance market commitment to buy $925M+ of permanent
carbon removal by 2030. Frontier aims to send a strong demand signal to
researchers, entrepreneurs, and investors that there is a growing market
for their technologies. Frontier was founded by Stripe, Alphabet,
Shopify, Meta and McKinsey, and operates as a subsidiary of Stripe.

To avoid the worst effects of climate change, most climate models agree
the world will need around 6 billion tons of carbon removal a year by
2050. If successful, we’ll increase the likelihood that the world has
the portfolio of carbon removal solutions needed to reach these climate
goals. Read more about our approach here.

What you’ll do

As Frontier’s first dedicated Program Manager, you will be responsible
for managing our carbon removal purchasing operations, coordinating
ongoing portfolio management, and supporting the broader Climate team’s

stakeholders both within and outside of Stripe – scientists, carbon
removal companies, internal operations teams, etc. – to ensure Frontier
is able to successfully purchase new carbon removals and thoughtfully

a rapidly-growing program at the forefront of mitigating climate change,
we want to hear from you!
