Senior financial crimes investigator at Stripe leading complex AML, fraud, and sanctions investigations. Conducts in-depth reviews, drafts regulatory reports, and proposes risk mitigation strategies across global operations.
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.
As a critical component of Stripe’s Global Investigations function, the Major Investigations team leads the charge on the most intricate and high-impact financial crimes reviews. Our remit involves spearheading in-depth investigations across a broad spectrum of risk areas—including significant fraud, anti-money laundering (AML), and insider threat detection—while navigating complex and ambiguous typologies. The team handles matters surfacing from diverse channels such as law enforcement subpoenas, public-private partnerships, the internal Speak Up Hotline, and various global referral sources. We operate in lockstep with regional investigative units and cross-functional partners to proactively manage institutional risk and identify opportunities for control environment remediation.
We are looking for a senior financial crimes investigations expert to join the Major Investigations team to take the lead on Stripe’s most intricate and nuanced financial crimes reviews. You will be responsible for conducting in-depth investigations covering multiple financial crimes risk areas, including anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorism financing (CTF), fraud, and sanctions. In doing so, you will confront complex issues, emerging and novel typologies, and significant ambiguity. In addition to conducting investigations and making recommendations on merchants, you will also be asked to evaluate how Stripe’s financial crimes controls could be enhanced to further mitigate identified risks and typologies. The right person for this role will enjoy dealing with this puzzle, seeking creative solutions, and moving quickly while ensuring comprehensive results.
We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
