Who we are

About Stripe

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses. Millions of companies—from the world's largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone's reach while doing the most important work of your career.

About The Team

The Risk Program Management Office is a unique role that sits at the intersection of Operations, Go To Market (GTM), and Risk Compliance teams. Our mission is to enable users to seamlessly meet evolving compliance standards in a complex regulatory environment by bringing the right set of cross-functional stakeholders to enable their success. As an enablement function, we work with many teams including Operations, Product, Eng, GTM, and others.

We are expanding our scope into one of Stripe's most consequential strategic priorities and launching in new markets. This work is new, fast-moving, and high-ambiguity — and we're looking for someone who thrives in exactly that environment. If you enjoy working on high-impact projects on a global scale, building programs from the ground up, and operating at the intersection of compliance, strategy, and execution — you'll love this role.

What you'll do

New Markets Program Management

Drive operational readiness across workstreams, tracking milestones, surfacing risks, and unblocking dependencies
Navigate high ambiguity — this is a 0→1 space where you will be expected to figure out the right approach, not wait for one to be handed to you
Build repeatable frameworks, playbooks, and reporting standards to support a growing and complex portfolio of markets

Cross-Functional Leadership

Represent our team in senior level conversations across Stripe and have high judgment and accountability
Provide critical coordination across Risk teams (Ops, Product, Eng, Strategy, and others) to ensure alignment and execution

Strong cross-functional leadership, with experience aligning Product, Eng, GTM, and Operations teams toward shared goals

AI fluency — you actively use AI tools to accelerate your work and can clearly articulate how and where you apply them
Experience working across global teams and time zones, including flexibility to join calls outside standard Singapore business hours as needed

Preferred Qualifications

Experience working on international expansion, market entry, regulatory, or licensing programs
Prior experience at a technology company; fintech or payments experience is a plus

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico, Bengaluru, India, and Dublin, Ireland work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.
