Strategy & Operations, Risk

Job Description

Stripe is looking for a senior product strategist-operator to support the Risk team. Risk is central to Stripe's ability to grow safely: the team protects Stripe and our users while enabling durable, responsible growth.

In this role, you will have a front-row seat to high-stakes business and product decisions and a direct hand in helping the team identify emerging risks, prioritize the right interventions, and deliver measurable outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Own the signal: Define and maintain the metrics that matter for Risk's in-year performance, spanning risk outcomes, business impact, operational health, and user experience.
• Lead deep-dive interventions: Run focused "surge" efforts to diagnose and unblock critical goals at risk.
• Bridge Risk, Product, and Strategy: Translate long-horizon company and risk theses into in-year priorities and operating plans.
• Synthesize for leadership: Anticipate the questions senior leaders will ask and prepare clear, decision-oriented materials.
• Pressure-test assumptions: Work closely with Risk, Corporate Strategy, Product, and Finance to test whether plans reflect external market dynamics.

Requirements

• 12+ years of experience in product strategy, business operations, data analytics, product management, or strategic business performance roles, ideally in high-growth technology companies
• Experience in product strategy, product management, or GM-style roles with direct ownership of a P&L or a specific business outcome
• Deeply curious about business models and data, probing into signals, understanding trends and customer usage patterns to uncover novel insights
• A proven track record of directly driving business growth through analytical insights and execution
• Demonstrated ability to apply AI to improve decision-making and operational efficiency, with sound judgment about when and how to use AI tools without sacrificing rigor or quality
