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.
As Stripe continues to develop innovative products that serve businesses of all sizes around the world, risk will increase in complexity and scale. The User Risk Strategy org protects and advances our business, brand, and mission by building and deploying market-leading policies and practices that instill user and partner trust in Stripe while enabling business growth.
Under the User Risk Strategy org, you'll be part of the Ecosystem Risk Strategy Team, part of our "First Line of Defense" function within the Risk organization, driving the frameworks that dictate who Stripe does business with, on what terms, and how enforcement is executed at scale. The Ecosystem Risk Strategy Team focuses on our positioning and standards within the broader payments and risk ecosystem — including card network supportability, industry-body engagement, regulatory horizon scanning, and the overarching risk framework that governs our standards. Risk Strategists on the Ecosystem Risk Strategy Team work to make sure the User Risk Strategy team is properly calibrated to ensure we avoid (and take) the proper risks. We work with cross-functional partners to monitor and mitigate risk related to card network rules and BIN sponsor requirements. We interact with Risk Partnerships, Credit, Legal, Fraud, and other cross-functional teams to ensure our standards are properly calibrated.
We're looking for someone who is passionate about navigating ambiguity, engaging with internal and external stakeholders, enabling business growth while balancing risk, and identifying ways to improve user experience.
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.
