Job description

Who we are

Financial Crimes Compliance Risk Oversight (FinCRO) is hiring an Enterprise Compliance and Risk Controls Lead for financial crimes controls and governance at Stripe. This role will support Bridge and Privy controls plus provide critical inputs for policy governance and Financial Crimes Risk Assessment (FCRA) across Stripe entities. You will combine financial crimes controls expertise with strong program management, using AI responsibly to improve the quality, consistency, and scalability of our work. The role will support key financial crimes priorities, including evolving requirements related to the Travel Rule.

What you'll do

• Ensure Bridge and Privy controls are appropriately designed, evidenced, governed, and implemented.
• Drive relevant financial crimes policy governance across Stripe entities, including policy development, approvals, and change management.
• Provide critical inputs for the Financial Crimes Risk Assessment across Stripe entities, including planning, stakeholder coordination, documentation, governance, and reporting.
• Translate financial crimes regulatory and risk requirements into clear, practical controls, policies, risk assessments, and operating processes.
• Partner with Financial Crimes, Compliance, Legal, Risk, Product, Engineering, Operations, and Internal Audit to identify gaps, manage issues, and improve the control environment.
• Identify responsible AI and automation opportunities across controls, policy, and risk‑assessment work including document review, obligation mapping, evidence triage, change analysis, and trend reporting.
• Ensure AI‑enabled workflows retain appropriate human oversight, data protection, accountability, and auditability.

What we're looking for

• At least 10 years of experience in financial crimes compliance, risk, internal controls, audit, or a related field in regulated financial services.
• Experience with financial crimes risk assessments, control design or testing, policy governance, issue management, or audit readiness.
• Familiarity with financial crimes requirements, ideally including AML, sanctions, KYC/KYB, transaction monitoring, and/or the Travel Rule.
• Strong interest in or experience using AI and automation to improve compliance, controls, risk, or operational workflows responsibly.

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $143,500 - $215,300. For sales roles, the range provided is the role's On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate's experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.

Additional benefits for this role may include: equity, company bonus or sales commissions/bonuses; 401(k) plan; medical, dental, and vision benefits; and wellness stipends.
