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.
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.
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.

Stripe is a set of tools for building and running an internet business. We help businesses accept payments from anyone, anywhere, and build new kinds of companies like Lyft or Kickstarter. Internally, we say our goal is to increase the GDP of the internet---we want to bring more businesses online worldwide. In everything we do, we put our users first. We work hard to build the cleanest, most robust APIs possible so that our users can focus on building great products. There's always something more we can do---we're constantly seeking out areas of our product we can improve. We're building a company with folks from all sorts of backgrounds, who make great coworkers and who share and exemplify a few core values: people who are humble, respectful, inclusive, and ready to roll up their sleeves and get important work done for our users. If that's you, we'd love to talk! Stripe's investors include Sequoia Capital, Khosla Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, and PayPal co-founders Peter Thiel, Max Levchin, and Elon Musk.
