Our team is focused on protecting and advancing Stripe's business, brand, and mission by deploying industry-leading supportability solutions that instill user and partner trust in Stripe, while enabling progressive and sustainable business growth. Unlike other Risk Operations teams, SSO handles the most complex, high-stakes, and ambiguous user business cases—ones that require deep investigation, custom risk analysis, and creative problem-solving at the intersection of user experience, compliance, financial partner requirements, and Stripe's growth ambitions. What you’ll do As a Risk Operations Analyst on the Strategic Supportability Operations team, you will investigate and assess complex, gray-area user business cases that require deep risk judgment and tailored solutions.

If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement. Minimum requirements • 5+ years of experience in risk management, compliance, fraud, financial operations, or a closely related field in a fast-moving environment • Demonstrated ability to navigate gray-area and non-binary decision-making in complex risk environments • Strong critical thinking and analytical skills, with the ability to synthesize multiple data sources into a coherent risk narrative • Experience collaborating cross-functionally on complex problems and driving alignment across teams with competing prioriti
