As Stripe continues to expand globally and launch innovative products, the complexity and scale of financial crime risk grows in tandem. The Risk Strategy team is a global team of strategists and program managers who operate at the intersection of Product, Engineering, Data, and Operations as trusted advisors. Our mandate is to ensure risk strategies are proactive, scalable, and seamlessly integrated into Stripe’s products and operations.
The Financial Crimes Risk Strategy team, part of Stripe’s first line of defense, ensures that our AML, Sanctions, and related financial crime programs are coherent, defensible, and effective across all products. We design and operationalize policies, standards, and frameworks that allow Stripe to grow responsibly while meeting regulatory expectations and maintaining user trust.
As a Risk Strategist on the Risk Strategy, Financial Crimes team, you will serve as a key advisor shaping Stripe’s global approach to AML and Sanctions risk management. You will translate policies and high-level requirements into practical standards, guide the design of controls, and embed financial crime risk management into products and market strategies spanning both traditional currencies and digital assets. This role balances risk mitigation with business enablement, ensuring that Stripe’s products can scale safely while fostering trust with regulators, partners, and users.
You will influence at the highest levels—partnering with Product, Engineering, Data Science & Analytics, Compliance, Legal, and Operations—to ensure financial crime considerations are central to decision-making. Beyond protecting against risk, you will drive innovation in how Stripe manages financial crime, helping the company stay ahead of industry expectations and regulatory change.
