About the team

The Risk User Experience and Insights team enables good users to thrive on Stripe by creating an intuitive and tailored risk experience that effectively mitigates compliance, financial and reputational risk. The team conducts qualitative and quantitative research, develops product strategies that alleviate risk pain points, and drives execution with partners across Engineering, Product, Design and Operations. Ultimately, the team ensures that a good user is never surprised by Stripe’s risk actions and has straightforward recourse with minimal impact to their business.

What you’ll do

We are looking for an experienced risk management professional to join the team and help provide a stellar risk experience for Stripe users. You will leverage data analytics, user research, and qualitative analyses to identify opportunities, craft innovative product solutions, and execute on those solutions in partnership with engineering, design and operations teams without compromising on risk mitigation.

Responsibilities

Who you are

These projects will be focused on improving Stripe’s products so that risk management is seamless for good users. The person will work independently in the highly cross-functional Risk org with engineering, data science, operations, design, and research.

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.

  • Professional experience with data querying languages (e.g., SQL) and proficiency in quantitative analysis geared towards drawing actionable insights from complex datasets

Working remotely at Stripe

While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently or plan to live.
