About the team
Stripe's Financial Crimes, Compliance and Risk Oversight (FinCRO) organization serves as Stripe's second line of defense, ensuring we operate as a responsible steward of the global financial ecosystem. Within FinCRO, the Product Enablement team sits at the intersection of compliance and product — partnering directly with product and engineering teams to build innovative, compliant financial products from the ground up.
What you’ll do
We’re looking for a Product Compliance and Enablement Advisor experienced in the fintech and payments industry to partner closely with cross-functional stakeholders to design and enhance Stripe’s products in a way that both delights users and meets all relevant compliance obligations. You will embed with Stripe’s product teams, building new and innovative products to help identify, track and implement compliance requirements, while supporting those teams in building and deploying monitoring tools to ensure ongoing compliance.
The role provides an excellent opportunity for a talented candidate to deploy their cross-functional product compliance skills in a fast-paced and rigorous environment, enhance their compliance skills, and to carve out opportunities to grow and develop. The successful candidate will gain wide-ranging exposure to Stripe's diverse range of business lines, senior leadership, and the governance and workings of the organization.
Responsibilities:
- Embed with product teams to provide guidance on compliance requirements during the design and build phases to ensure a compliant go-to-market strategy
- Lead product governance efforts on behalf of FinCRO, including documenting requirements and tracking them through implementation
- Conduct compliance reviews and product risk assessments for material new product launches and feature expansions
- Provide subject matter support as they design and implement workflows, tooling, and reporting
- Liaise closely with Regional Compliance Officers and Money Laundering Reporting Officers to support execution of our compliance oversight programs
- Inform and educate product and business teams on relevant compliance and regulatory requirements to foster a "compliance-by-design" mindset across the organization
- Contribute to building a strong culture of compliance across Stripe’s teams
- Leverage AI and agentic tools to scale compliance product enablement — including accelerating product risk assessments, regulatory research and requirements documentation — while maintaining rigorous judgment over AI-generated outputs
