Program Manager, Risk Ops Enablement

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

The Risk Operations Enablement team sits within the Risk Operations org and is responsible for building and operating the core business and strategic programs that are critical to Risk Operations. These programs range from operational excellence initiatives to high-priority, cross-functional initiatives that typically require partnering across broader Risk (e.g., Risk Product) and risk-adjacent (e.g., Policy) teams. More specifically, we both lead initiatives to make step changes in the Risk User Experience and devise and execute strategies to ensure that a wide range of missing-critical business processes are effective at achieving our dual goals of preventing bad actors from exploiting Stripe's systems and delivering an exceptional user experience for legitimate users.

What You'll Do

You'll be a builder of the Risk Operations Quality program — designing and standing up quality assurance frameworks, processes, and measurement systems from the ground up, and then scaling them across the broader Risk Operations organization. In parallel, you'll partner cross-functionally across Risk (e.g., Risk Product) and Risk-adjacent (e.g., Policy) teams to lead ambiguous, high-priority problem spaces that change the trajectory of Risk Operations. You'll work closely with Risk Ops leadership, Engineering, and Data Science to ensure quality standards are embedded into our operational workflows and that we have the insights needed to continuously raise the bar on performance and the user experience.
