Head of User Risk Strategy

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

Stripe's mission is to increase the GDP of the internet — and we do that responsibly. The User Risk Strategy (URS) function is at the heart of that responsibility: it is the team that defines who Stripe can do business with, on what terms, and how those standards are maintained and enforced at scale. The function sits within the First Line of Defense in Stripe's Risk organization and is the authoritative owner of Stripe's supportability framework.

We are looking for a seasoned leader to own and evolve the URS / Supportability function as a Manager of Managers (M2). In this role, you will lead a team of risk strategists and analysts across Ecosystem Strategy, New Product Enablement, User Insights & Enablement, Platform Risk Strategy, and Enforcement & Monitoring Strategy (EMS). You will be a senior leader in the Risk Strategy organization, shaping the direction of Stripe's supportability ecosystem and driving cross-functional decisions that directly influence Stripe's ability to grow safely. In this role, you will report into the Head of Risk Strategy and partner closely with Product, Engineering, Legal, Financial Crimes, Financial Partnerships, Operations, and GTM leadership.
