About the role

Responsibilities
- As a Fraud Strategist, you will be responsible for building strategies to mitigate fraud (buyer fraud, seller fraud and account fraud) on new and existing Stripe products.
- You will enable safer money movement for our users and help Stripe manage fraud risks intelligently.
- You'll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Data Science, Operations and other Risk Strategy functions to ensure fraud controls are embedded in every Stripe product.
- Beyond protecting against fraud risk, you'll drive innovation in how Stripe approaches fraud management- staying ahead of emerging fraud trends and pushing the boundaries of what effective, scalable fraud risk management looks like at a global payments company.
- Collaborate with internal partners like Product, Engineering, Data Science, Risk Partnerships, and Operations, to tailor fraud risk management techniques to various products and payment methods across the globe
- Scale risk processes to cover a large and complex landscape of fraud risks. Effectively design, outsource and automate manual/repetitive workflows
- Effectively and clearly communicate with other Stripes, Stripe's users, and Stripe's financial and regulatory partners
- Data-driven judgment - skilled at using quantitative analysis to drive and defend decisions
- Proven ability to collaborate and execute cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, Data Science, and Operations
- Holistic thinking and the ability to build scaled processes that bridge systemic gaps
Requirements
- 5+ years of relevant experience, preferably in Financial Services, Payments or FinTech
- Empathy for early-stage businesses and the ability to balance enforcement with user experience
- Strong analytical skills, including the ability to frame complex tradeoffs through data and visualization
- Advanced SQL skills with hands-on experience in business environments
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey complex ideas clearly across teams
- Track record of deriving actionable insights from complex problem spaces and influencing product direction
- We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role.
Nice to have
- Expertise with quantitative tools such as Python, R, etc
- Experience with payments, risk, or trust & safety
- Experience working in fast-paced and rapidly changing start-up environments
- While you would be welcome to come into the office for team/business meetings, on-sites, meet-ups, and events, our expectation is you would regularly work from home rather than a Stripe office.
Compensation
- The annual US base salary range for this role is $161,800 - $242,600.
Benefits
- The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
- Decisiveness and openness to learning, with comfort making high-impact calls daily
