Stripe - Strategy & Operations, Risk
Requirements
• 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. • 12+ years of experience in product strategy, business operations, data analytics, product management, or strategic business performance roles, ideally in high-growth technology companies • Experience in product strategy, product management, or GM-style roles with direct ownership of a P&L or a specific business outcome • Deeply curious about business models and data, probing into signals, understanding trends and customer usage patterns to uncover novel insights • A proven track record of directly driving business growth through analytical insights and execution • Demonstrated ability to apply AI to improve decision-making and operational efficiency, with sound judgment about when and how to use AI tools without sacrificing rigor or quality • Strong product sense and the ability to understand the technical mechanics of how software products are built and scaled • Experience navigating ambiguous, cross-functional problems and leading high-stakes interventions with senior stakeholders • Prior experience with fintech products or complex financial systems is a plus, but not required • Experience facilitating senior leadership and stakeholder discussions that lead to clear decisions and action on business performance • Experience in risk, payments, financial services, or fintech • Ability to build trust and partner with senior leaders and CXOs • Technical proficiency in SQL / Python / R and data analysis; ability to self-serve and perform independent deep-dives into complex datasets • Experience developing creative solutions and influencing the roadmaps of cross-functional teams • Ability to anticipate how product launches, policy changes, and go-to-market activity affect risk outcomes, user experience, and support operations • Hybrid work at Stripe • This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office). • In-office expectations • Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams. • Working remotely at Stripe • A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently live or plan to live.
Responsibilities
• In this role, you will work across Risk and Stripe’s technical and user-facing teams to improve decision-making, strengthen execution, and help Stripe manage risk while serving users well. • Own the signal: Define and maintain the metrics that matter for Risk’s in-year performance, spanning risk outcomes, business impact, operational health, and user experience. Build a disciplined “morning read”—a curated, high-signal view that surfaces emerging issues and drives timely action beyond standard dashboarding. • Lead deep-dive interventions: Run focused “surge” efforts to diagnose and unblock critical goals at risk. Move from symptom to root cause, align teams on the response, and stay engaged until the trajectory has measurably improved. • Bridge Risk, Product, and Strategy: Translate long-horizon company and risk theses into in-year priorities and operating plans. Decompose ambiguous opportunities and threats that cut across Product, Risk, Operations, and go-to-market teams into structured workstreams with clear owners and outcomes. • Synthesize for leadership: Anticipate the questions senior leaders will ask and prepare clear, decision-oriented materials that turn complex and unstructured risk signals into diagnoses, options, and recommended actions. • Pressure-test assumptions: Work closely with Risk, Corporate Strategy, Product, and Finance to test whether plans reflect external market dynamics, changing risk patterns, user needs, and Stripe’s execution capacity. Identify gaps early and help teams adapt.
