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 Risk Strategy team owns Stripe's first-line AML and sanctions programs globally. We own the end-to-end lifecycle of financial crime controls — setting the global standards that govern how risk is managed across our programs; designing and driving the development of controls, infrastructure, and tooling with Engineering, Product, and Data Science; and maintaining their effectiveness as Stripe's products and the regulatory landscape evolve. We build fast, with data, and with AI integrated into how financial crime risk is detected, managed, and monitored across everything Stripe builds.
As a Risk Strategist on the Financial Crimes Risk Strategy team, you will own Stripe's global screening programs — spanning sanctions, PEP, and negative news — setting the standards that govern how screening risk is managed, designing and driving the controls that operationalize those standards, and ensuring they remain effective as Stripe's products and the regulatory landscape evolve. Being effective in this role means going deep on both the domain and the data — we don't separate the two.
You will partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data Science, Compliance, Legal, other Risk Strategy functions, and Operations to ensure screening considerations are embedded in every product and market decision. Beyond protecting against risk, you will drive innovation in how Stripe approaches screening — staying ahead of regulatory change and pushing the boundaries of what effective, scalable financial crime risk management looks like at a global payments company.
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.
This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).
