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

Stripe's Financial Crimes, Compliance and Risk Oversight (FinCRO) organization serves as Stripe's second line of defense, ensuring we operate as a responsible steward of the global financial ecosystem. Within FinCRO, the Product Enablement team sits at the intersection of compliance and product — partnering directly with product and engineering teams to build innovative, compliant financial products from the ground up.

What you’ll do

We’re looking for a Product Compliance and Enablement Advisor experienced in the fintech and payments industry to partner closely with cross-functional stakeholders to design and enhance Stripe’s products in a way that both delights users and meets all relevant compliance obligations. You will embed with Stripe’s product teams, building new and innovative products to help identify, track and implement compliance requirements, while supporting those teams in building and deploying monitoring tools to ensure ongoing compliance.

The role provides an excellent opportunity for a talented candidate to deploy their cross-functional product compliance skills in a fast-paced and rigorous environment, enhance their compliance skills, and to carve out opportunities to grow and develop. The successful candidate will gain wide-ranging exposure to Stripe's diverse range of business lines, senior leadership, and the governance and workings of the organization.

Responsibilities

• Embed with product teams to provide guidance on compliance requirements during the design and build phases to ensure a compliant go-to-market strategy
• Lead product governance efforts on behalf of FinCRO, including documenting requirements and tracking them through implementation
• Conduct compliance reviews and product risk assessments for material new product launches and feature expansions
• Provide subject matter support as they design and implement workflows, tooling, and reporting
• Liaise closely with Regional Compliance Officers and Money Laundering Reporting Officers to support execution of our compliance oversight programs
• Inform and educate product and business teams on relevant compliance and regulatory requirements to foster a "compliance-by-design" mindset across the organization
• Contribute to building a strong culture of compliance across Stripe’s teams
• Leverage AI and agentic tools to scale compliance product enablement — including accelerating product risk assessments, regulatory research and requirements documentation — while maintaining rigorous judgment over AI-generated outputs

Minimum Requirements

• 7+ years of experience building and managing compliance programs in regulated financial services, preferably in fintech, payments and banking
• Experience evaluating emerging products for compliance risk, working with product and business stakeholders to implement creative solutions for compliance requirements, and conducting relevant product risk assessments
• Working knowledge of regulatory compliance and financial crimes/AML practices, with a strong understanding of the compliance landscape applicable to a company like Stripe
• Proven ability to manage distinct projects and programs, with strong stakeholder management and communication skills
• Ability to interpret regulations and regulatory guidance and incorporate them into a comprehensive, proportionate compliance program
• Strong written and verbal communication skills — including the ability to translate complex regulatory concepts clearly for non-compliance audiences
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills, including senior leadership relationships and managing competing priorities
• Intellectual curiosity and a willingness to explore unfamiliar markets, product types and regulatory frameworks
• Ability to work efficiently and independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
• Genuine interest in financial regulation and an eagerness to drive the industry forward through responsible innovation
• Demonstrated AI fluency — actively uses AI tools, including agentic workflows, to enhance the quality, speed, and rigor of compliance work; able to critically evaluate AI outputs, iterate on results, and select the right tool for the task rather than defaulting to manual methods

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience using AI or agentic tools in a compliance or regulatory context (e.g., for policy drafting, risk assessments, regulatory research, or workflow automation)
• Experience with stablecoin, crypto, or emerging payments product compliance
• ACAMS, CRCM, ICA (Diploma or Advanced Certificate) or equivalent certification
• SQL abilities

In-office expectations

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.
