Job Description

Stride enables independent workers to reap the benefits of their independence. 

We simplify the challenges of being self-employed by helping workers handle the complexities of insurance, finances, and taxes — in one convenient platform. Since we were founded in 2014, we have helped over 3.7 million workers save an estimated $5.4 billion on their taxes and monthly health insurance premiums.

Stride partners with over 100 leading companies like Uber, Amazon, DoorDash, and Instacart to provide their independent workers with access to our benefits platform. The company is backed by $96 million in capital from Venrock, New Enterprise Associates, Fidelity’s F-Prime Capital Partners, Mastercard, Allstate and King River.

The Role:

• Demonstrate patience, empathy, and the ability to stay composed under stress.

• Navigate and perform confidently within support or sales-based digital platforms.

We will prioritize candidates who:

will help explain Stride’s Compensation Philosophy and compensation practices, and will answer some common questions you might have.

Stride’s Compensation Philosophy utilizes a National Payscale, which is designed to fairly and equitably pay employees based on their performance and impact regardless of geographic location. For employees in the United States, our National Payscale leverages San Francisco Bay Area market data to determine our compensation bands for cash, commissions, or bonus (if applicable) and equity.

Unless otherwise noted, the cash compensation above is the total salary and does not include a bonus.  In addition to cash compensation, all full-time Striders will be given stock options to participate in Stride’s equity incentive program.  We want all Striders to be an owner of the company, value that ownership, and be able to participate in any future positive outcomes for the company.

Individual compensation packages are based on a few different factors unique to each candidate, including their skills, experience, qualifications, and other job-related reasons. Our compensation ranges are designed to be competitive, equitable, and growth-oriented.

We know that benefits are also an important piece of your total compensation package. To learn more about what’s included in total compensation, check out some of the to all US-based employees.

At Stride, we believe in compensating Striders in ways that are true to their value in the marketplace, that inspire and motivate the team to execute our vision, that shape behavior toward productively building and sustaining Stride's culture, and that support the risks and rewards of a fast-growing technology company. 

We know the confidence gap and are a real thing. This can get in the way of meeting incredible candidates, so please don’t hesitate to apply — we’d love to hear from you!

_ Stride is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. _
