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
We appreciate that growing the GDP of the internet requires leaps into the unknown or untested and being risk-forward, while also taking measured and deliberate risks that are aligned with our business objectives and risk appetite. The Global Enterprise Risk Management team helps Stripe to strategically oversee risks, working with our business teams to ensure that risk-mitigating controls are in place, enabling our products to develop and scale in a risk-aware manner and managing emerging threats and disruptions to our business. As a regulated business, our second line of defense team plays a critical role in assuring the risk and compliance health of Stripe within the broader financial ecosystem.
We are a globally-distributed team, across the US, EMEA and APAC.
What you’ll do
We’re looking for an Enterprise Risk Manager to lead the second line of defense oversight and strategy specifically for financial risks, including treasury, market, credit and counterparty risk.

You will develop and advise financial risk management tools and practices to analyze and report on financial risks and to manage risks according to a financial risk management framework and relevant policies. You will also ensure that the organization's financial risk management policies, limits, and strategies are in compliance with applicable regulations and strategic imperatives of the organization.
This role will need to partner effectively with risk owners and business line leadership to ensure there is sufficient monitoring, reporting and governance mechanisms in place to effectively manage financial risk. The role holder will also be a key participant in relevant governance fora and must be able to provide impactful, comprehensive reporting to executive and Board level committees.

Working with the Compliance teams, review, track and monitor regulatory changes (relevant to financial risks) and any other relevant communications from the regulators, partnering with stakeholders to ensure appropriate readiness for new changes
