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.
The Financial Crimes (FC) team at Stripe serves to protect Stripe and its users from crime. Our people play an important role in combating financial crime across a global footprint and enabling Stripe to responsibly increase the GDP of the internet. As dependable partners for our users, business teams, financial partners, and regulators, the global FC team works as a cohesive whole to manage and mitigate financial crime risks and consistently exceed expectations. We are a deeply caring group of professionals, slightly obsessed with our tradecraft, dedicated to protecting our users and the financial ecosystem from crime, and committed to our work, lives, and hobbies with equal passion.
Help us protect Stripe and its users from crime by providing support to the Global Head of Financial Crimes Policy while managing the team responsible for overseeing and implementing Stripe’s financial crimes risk policies for onboarding users and payment methods, strategically crafting risk-based and tailored approaches to EDD, responding to executive or external escalations, vetting policy dispensations, regularly refreshing our financial crimes policies, and overseeing the analysis and Stripe response to new regulatory and financial partner requirements. You’ll partner with the Global Head of Financial Crimes Policy and others in FC team leadership to turn our vision for the future of financial crimes compliance into reality by relentlessly cultivating the application of risk-based best practices for policies, processes, and procedures not just within our team but consistently across Stripe.
We are looking for an energetic and seasoned financial crime professional looking to help Stripe’s Financial Crimes Policy function as it keeps pace with Stripe’s increasing global footprint and product expansions. The successful candidate will be experienced in navigating nuanced and complex problems with a pragmatic, risk-based, and solutions-oriented mindset. A senior financial crimes compliance expert, the successful applicant should also be passionate about the importance of intentional and well-designed policy structures to unlock practical and innovative solutions while carefully balancing regulatory and financial partner considerations. We are looking for someone who is prepared to roll up their sleeves and join the rest of the Financial Crimes Policy team to get “stuck in” as part of the broader team’s activities. Stripe is both a technology company and a financial services company, and you will need to be comfortable straddling both of those worlds every day. The right person for the role will enjoy dealing with that puzzle, seeking creative solutions and moving quickly, often in the face of ambiguity.
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.
