About the team
The Risk Operations Technology Enablement team sits within the Risk Operations org and is responsible for partnering across Risk teams to shape the technical infrastructure that enables us to scale our Risk operations and achieve our dual goals of preventing bad actors from exploiting Stripe’s systems and delivering an exceptional user experience for legitimate users. More specifically, our team partners with Risk product and engineering teams to identify, scope, prioritize, pilot, and roll out technical infrastructure and tooling improvements to protect Stripe and serve our users. From the application of AI to our reviews, to agent diagnostic and resolution tools, to review and support case routing, to our user-facing risk support surfaces, our team’s mandate is expansive and a major lever in both protecting Stripe and its users from risk as well as improving the user experience.
What you’ll do
You’ll lead a group of high-performing program managers in leading tech-first Risk Ops initiatives, cultivating strong partnerships and processes with our Risk engineering and product partners, codeveloping the high-level strategy for our technical infrastructure rooted in a deep understanding of our risk operations tech stack, and owning Risk Ops-centric technical processes (e.g., tooling stack rank).
