About the team

At its core, Stripe is a treasury company.  We are seeking someone great to join our Liquidity Management team within Treasury Finance to help us fulfill our mission of building the Global Payments and Treasury Network (GPTN).

We also work closely with product and other finance teams to shape our understanding of how Stripe is performing as a business and what our best opportunities are for continued growth. We are looking for someone to join us and to help us build integrated financial systems and processes, working alongside our business partners and our world-class engineers.

What you’ll do

The Liquidity Management team supports Stripe’s mission by making sure we have the right amount of money, in the right place and currency, at the right time to support both product and corporate initiatives. We are looking for a Treasury Analyst who will help us execute and scale many of Treasury Finance’s core capabilities.
