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

To advance Stripe's mission, we are building a world-class Internal Audit (IA) team. Our purpose is to strengthen the organisation's ability to create, protect, and sustain value by providing the board and management with independent, risk-based, and objective assurance, advice, insight, and foresight. We move as fast as the business, are powered by technology, and are focused on increasing the maturity of Stripe's controls where it matters most.

Our IA team provides objective assurance on the design and operational effectiveness of Stripe's internal controls and business processes, compliance with laws and regulations, risk management frameworks, and other governance processes. We're looking for a candidate with deep experience in treasury, finance, safeguarding, operations, and regulatory compliance audit who will help us build and scale a global audit program.

What you'll do

As a member of the EMEA IA team, you will help drive the execution of a comprehensive, risk-based internal audit strategy that anticipates emerging risks and aligns with management's priorities and our regulatory landscape. You will apply your expertise in governance, risk management, and internal controls to produce assessments that enable our Board, Audit Committee, and senior leadership to make informed decisions.

This position is office-based in Dublin, Ireland or London, UK.

Responsibilities

• Develop and contribute to a risk-based internal audit strategy that ensures comprehensive, end-to-end audit coverage, reflecting emerging risks, management priorities, and regulatory obligations
• Evaluate and test governance, risk management, internal controls, compliance, financial reporting, and operational processes to assess their effectiveness, accuracy, and regulatory compliance
• Produce objective and timely assessments and reports for the Board, Audit Committee, and senior leadership on risk management, controls, and governance
• Engage with internal partners and regulators; prepare and present audit evidence and findings to support confidence in our internal oversight processes
• Communicate complex risks and their impacts clearly to senior stakeholders, including the Board, Audit Committee, and regulators (e.g. FCA, CBI)
• Collaborate with stakeholder teams to translate audit findings into durable, structural remediation plans, while building and sustaining business relationships to support ongoing audit planning and execution
• Invest in understanding the business to better identify areas of need and opportunities to advise
• Research and stay current on applicable regulatory requirements (e.g. GAAP, IFRS, PSD2, EMD2, EBA), emerging trends, and best practices

• Strong experience in risk-based audit planning, execution, and reporting across governance, compliance, financial reporting, and operational controls
