Who we are

About Stripe

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.

About the team

The Risk Operations Enablement team sits within the Risk Operations org and is responsible for building and operating the core business and strategic programs that are critical to Risk Operations. These programs range from operational excellence initiatives to high-priority, cross-functional initiatives that typically require partnering across broader Risk (e.g., Risk Product) and risk-adjacent (e.g., Policy) teams. More specifically, we both lead initiatives to make step changes in the Risk User Experience and devise and execute strategies to ensure that a wide range of missing-critical business processes are effective at achieving our dual goals of preventing bad actors from exploiting our systems and delivering an exceptional user experience for legitimate users.

What you'll do

You'll partner cross-functionally across Risk (e.g., Risk Product) and Risk-adjacent (e.g., Policy) teams to lead ambiguous, high-priority problem spaces that change the trajectory of Risk Operations. You'll also partner across Risk Operations to deliver and measure processes that enable operational excellence at scale within the Risk Operations org.

Responsibilities

Lead complex global programs, from initial scoping to design and execution and work on high-impact strategic initiatives 

Collaborate with multiple stakeholders across Risk Operations, Risk Product, Risk Eng, and other stakeholder teams (e.g., Policy, Data Science) to prioritize and maximize the impact of your projects 

Design and launch programs that lead to step-change improvements in our operational processes and business outcomes 

Serve as the Risk Operations expert and partner closely with our cross-functional stakeholders to scope and execute large projects to create operational efficiencies and ensure operational readiness 

Embody our Operating Principles and foster our values and culture
