What we do: The Credit Risk Strategy protects Stripe by managing the end-to-end credit risk of our largest and most complex users.

• Strategic Stakeholder Partnership: Act as a key advisor to Sales, Risk Strategy, Risk Policy, and Bank Partners. You will navigate complex Bank Concurrences and Waivers, ensuring our risk appetite aligns with both internal goals and external partner requirements.
• Drive Operational Excellence: Work closely with our Credit Ops and SDC teams to implement efficient and effective review processes while providing constructive feedback to improve procedures. You will identify gaps in our current processes and build the organizational infrastructure needed to support Stripe's evolving product suite.
• High-Stakes Decisioning: Serve as an escalation point for ad-hoc credit reviews and referrals, making informed judgments on Stripe's largest and riskiest users during volatile market conditions or incidents.
• Systems Thinking: Deeply understand our performance metrics including loss trends and leading indicators.
