Program Manager, Risk Ops Enablement

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 Operations Enablement team sits within the Risk Operations org and is responsible for building and operating the core business and strategic programs that are critical to Risk Operations. These programs range from operational excellence initiatives to high-priority, cross-functional initiatives that typically require partnering across broader Risk (e.g., Risk Product) and risk-adjacent (e.g., Policy) teams. More specifically, we both lead initiatives to make step changes in the Risk User Experience and devise and execute strategies to ensure that a wide range of missing-critical business processes are effective at achieving our dual goals of preventing bad actors from exploiting Stripe's systems and delivering an exceptional user experience for legitimate users.

What you'll do

As a Program Manager, Risk Ops Enablement, you'll be a builder of the Risk Operations Quality program — designing and standing up quality assurance frameworks, processes, and measurement systems from the ground up, and then scaling them across the broader Risk Operations organization. In parallel, you'll partner cross-functionally across Risk (e.g., Risk Product) and Risk-adjacent (e.g., Policy) teams to lead ambiguous, high-priority problem spaces that change the trajectory of Risk Operations. You'll work closely with Risk Ops leadership, Engineering, and Data Science to ensure quality standards are embedded into our operational workflows and that we have the insights needed to continuously raise the bar on performance and the user experience.

Responsibilities

• Lead complex global programs, from initial scoping to design and execution and work on high-impact strategic initiatives
• Collaborate with multiple stakeholders across Risk Operations, Risk Product, Risk Eng, and other stakeholder teams (e.g., Policy, Data Science) to prioritize and maximize the impact of your projects
• Design and launch programs that lead to step-change improvements in our operational processes and business outcomes
• Design and continue building the Risk Operations Quality program — defining frameworks and processes needed to systematically measure and improve operational quality across the org
• Stand up agent performance monitoring and calibration processes to ensure accuracy, consistency, and fairness in how we evaluate operational quality
• Define and track quality metrics and reporting, partnering with Data Science to surface actionable insights to Risk Ops leadership
• Scale the Quality program across the Risk Operations organization, ensuring adoption, standardization, and continuous iteration as the program matures
• Embody our Operating Principles and foster Stripe's values and culture

Hybrid work at Stripe

This role is available either in an office or a remote location (35+ miles or 56+ km from a Stripe office).

In-office expectations

Office-assigned Stripes spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This hits a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility about how to do this in a way that makes sense for individuals and their teams.

Working remotely at Stripe

A remote location is defined as being 35 miles (56 kilometers) or more from one of our offices. 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. Stripe does not cover the cost of relocating to a remote location. We encourage you to apply for roles that match the location where you currently live or plan to live.

Pay and benefits

The annual US base salary range for this role is $127,600 - $191,400. For sales roles, the range provided is the role’s On Target Earnings ("OTE") range, meaning that the range includes both the sales commissions/sales bonuses target and annual base salary for the role. This salary range may be inclusive of several career levels at Stripe and will be narrowed during the interview process based on a number of factors, including the candidate’s experience, qualifications, and location. Applicants interested in this role and who are not located in the US may request the annual salary range for their location during the interview process.
