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

At its core, Stripe is a treasury company. We fulfill our mission of growing the online economy by empowering our users to move money to and from their own user constituents, and to understand and optimize these flows. In this way, our treasury is inextricably intertwined with our products. In order to continue to build novel and powerful products for our users, our own treasury capabilities, including financial risk management capabilities, must be excellent. The Capital and Financial Risk Management team sets Stripe’s financial risk strategy and develops analytical tools to promote risk-aware allocation of our resources ensuring that Stripe has sufficient capital and liquidity to support our users in all operating conditions. Within CFRM, Financial Risk Management also works closely with product and other finance teams to shape our understanding of how Stripe is performing as a business and what our best opportunities are for continued growth. We are looking for someone to join us to work alongside our business partners and our world-class engineers.
