What you’ll do

Stripe is looking for a senior leader and manager to help protect Stripe and Stripe’s users from all forms of merchant fraud. This leader's goal will be to make Stripe’s payments ecosystem safer by relentlessly improving Stripe’s primary merchant fraud protection systems, such as detection models, actioning systems and fund recovery processes, while ensuring minimal pain for good users.
