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.

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.

Treasury’s Capital & Financial Risk Management (CFRM) team

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. We also collaborate closely with product, data science, 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.
