About the team

We're looking for an experienced regulatory compliance professional to help our North America regulatory compliance team. In this role, you will coordinate with Stripe's Legal, Financial Crimes, Finance, Accounting, Internal Systems, and Security teams, to (i) coordinate and submit regulatory license applications, renewals and maintenance; (ii) assist with regulatory exams conducted in the US and (iii) support our regulatory affairs program for certain licensed US entities.

As a regulated business, our second line of defense team plays a critical role in ensuring Stripe effectively manages our regulatory obligations and fosters a culture of compliance. You will play a key role in the development of Stripe's US regulatory compliance program. The role provides an excellent opportunity for a talented candidate to deploy their cross-functional compliance program management skills in a fast-paced and rigorous environment, enhance their compliance expertise, and 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.

The ideal candidate will be a self-starter who is exceptionally organized, thorough and detail-oriented, with a background in financial services, payments, or other heavily regulated sectors. In this role, you will get a chance to help build, enhance, mature and evolve our regulatory licensing and exam programs and be a key cross-functional partner. Stripe is both a technology company and a financial services company, and you will need to be comfortable in both worlds.

Hybrid work at Stripe
Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.
