About the Role

We are looking for an experienced data analyst to drive the data strategy for our risk as a product offering. Define the metrics, data products, and analytical frameworks needed as Stripe brings risk capabilities to platforms and connected accounts at scale.

• Define the metrics, data products, and analytical frameworks needed as Stripe brings risk capabilities to platforms and connected accounts at scale.
• Partner with Product, Engineering, and Risk leadership to ensure data investments align with the product roadmap.
• Design metrics, pipelines, and data products that serve as the analytical backbone for risk decisioning.
• Own the definition, reliability, and visibility of our most important risk metrics.
• Establish a canonical set of north star and operational metrics and ensure they are trustworthy, well-documented, and consistently surfaced to the right audiences.
• Build and maintain the infrastructure that keeps these metrics accurate as our data and product landscape evolves, including clear ownership, alerting on regressions, and scalable pipelines that reduce the cost of keeping insights current.
• Own and evolve Stripe's risk experimentation strategy by defining what we test, how we measure, and how we learn.
• Ensure we can rigorously evaluate the impact of changes to risk policies, merchant journeys, and risk models across diverse merchant populations.
• Mentor and raise the bar for the Data Analysts on the team.

• Deep expertise in SQL; proficiency in Python
• Strong ability to translate ambiguous business problems into structured analytical approaches and communicate findings to executive stakeholders
• Experience building and scaling data products (metrics frameworks, pipelines, dashboards) that become operational infrastructure, not one-off analyses
• Demonstrated ability to influence without authority across engineering, product, and business teams

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, Engineering, or a related technical field
• Experience in risk, trust & safety, or related domains and understanding of risk in the Fintech space
• Experience building data for platform/product offerings where data is part of the product surface, not just internal analytics
• Familiarity with causal inference and A/B testing in non-standard environments
