What you’ll do
We are looking for an experienced compliance advisor who is fluent in both compliance regulations and commercial reality. You will not just be a specialized advisor, but a strategic partner responsible for scaling our business by embedding compliance intelligence directly into our technical infrastructure to support our users. You will be the bridge between Stripe’s compliance obligations and our users' ambitious goals, moving away from manual, person-dependent models toward a dynamic, agentic structure. You will provide expert guidance for our complex user challenges to actively shape them. You will partner closely with cross-functional stakeholders to design user solutions that both support users' growing journey with Stripe and satisfy compliance rigor. Stripe is both a technology company and a financial services company. You will need to be comfortable straddling those worlds every day, moving quickly in the face of ambiguity to help scale our business globally.
You will be a critical team member responsible for:
Partner deeply with GTM and business teams for complex user deals to identify compliance roadblocks early and design the "path to yes" that aligns with our risk appetite. Lead compliance reviews and risk assessments for material user matters, providing clear, risk-based recommendations. Influence business roadmaps and design decisions, translating compliance requirements into clear, actionable product, control, and reporting expectations. Lead with a first-principles approach, bringing sound judgment to novel user-related questions and helping teams identify practical, sustainable paths forward. Deploy strategically as a subject matter expert to explain intricate compliance requirements to users and first line teams with authority, clarity, and empathy. Work with users and internal teams to architect solutions and flows that meet compliance obligations while minimizing friction. Work closely with Regional Compliance Officers, Money Laundering Reporting Officers, Legal, and other SMEs to support execution across complex, cross-functional user supportability designs. Help business teams build durable compliance capabilities by making established requirements, precedents, and standards easy to understand and apply independently, driving a “compliant by design” approach. Leverage AI and tools to scale user enablement - including accelerating risk assessments, regulatory research, and requirements documentation - while applying rigorous judgment to novel, complex, or precedent-setting decisions and validating AI-generated outputs.
