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
As Stripe continues to develop innovative products that serve businesses of all sizes, risk will increase in complexity and scale. The Industry Expansion Strategy team protects Stripe's business and mission by building the policies, frameworks, and practices that enable Stripe to support businesses in complex, highly regulated industries. As Stripe expands into new markets and products, we unlock revenue, advance trust, and set the standard for what responsible growth looks like at scale.
What you’ll do
Stripe's financial infrastructure only works if merchants can trust it—and that trust depends on us staying ahead of card network requirements. The Industry Expansion Strategy team owns that problem globally. As part of the team, you'll be the person who ensures our merchant portfolio stays compliant with Visa, Mastercard, and other card network rules as Stripe scales globally.
This isn't a passive monitoring role. You'll work directly with Sales, merchants, card networks, and internal Risk and Compliance teams to catch issues early, fix them fast, and build processes that move Stripe ahead.
We are looking for someone who is passionate about navigating ambiguity, enabling business growth while balancing risk, and is skilled at identifying ways to improve user experience.
Responsibilities
- Own oversight of merchant risk management processes for Payment Facilitators, Marketplaces, and other Third-Party Agents and Servicers, including preparing merchants for card network registration, managing network reporting requirements, and conducting periodic reviews and user remediations
- Partner with internal teams to design compliance strategies that support Stripe's global expansion without creating major downstream risks
- Embed within first-line teams, particularly Sales and Product, to train sellers to develop the judgment to catch gaps and position Risk as a business enabler
- Build new
