About the team

About Stripe and Stripe Treasury

At its core, Stripe is a treasury company. We fulfill our mission of growing the online economy by empowering our users to move money to and from their own user constituents, and to understand and optimize these flows. In this way, treasury and financial risk (market and  counterparty,as well as risk mitigants such as insurance) is inextricably intertwined with our products. In order to continue to build novel and powerful products for our users, our own treasury capabilities, including financial risk management capabilities, must be excellent.

The Capital & Financial Risk Management team

To that end, Stripe’s Treasury-Finance team is building a world class Capital & Financial Risk Management pillar with a goal of being fully automated and supremely lean. CFRM comprises a capital & liquidity risk management team and financial risk management team. We work closely with other Treasury-Finance teams (Liquidity Management and Capital Markets), Stripe’s Information team (Data Science and Data Engineering), Stripe’s Money Movement & Storage (MMS) product and engineering teams to build great capital and financial risk infrastructure.

The Financial Risk Management lead will continue building Stripe’s financial risk management governance, systems and processes, working alongside our DS partners, business partners and world-class engineers.
