Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions
of companies—from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious

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

About the team

As Stripe’s user base and global footprint grows dramatically, we are
looking for passionate people and operations to help build teams in our
new Stripe Delivery Center, a centralised operational hub of Stripes. We
are looking for someone who is passionate about fighting financial
crime, preferably within e-commerce or payments, and who possesses a
deep understanding of Enhanced Due Diligence/PEP  mitigation techniques.
This person will cultivate the engagement of their team members while
guiding them to be the best they can be, through feedback, coaching,
mentoring, and advocacy within the organisation. This means helping to
set team goals, and using metrics to efficiently measure and guide team
performance in pursuit of those goals.

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. You will have a strong operations mindset, be passionate
about people management, drive strong quality standards, and have deep
expertise in financial crimes investigations and research techniques.
