Compliance Manager, User Enablement

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

As a regulated business, our second line of defense team plays a critical role in ensuring Stripe operates as a responsible steward of the financial ecosystem. You will join the Product and User Enablement (ProUse) team, acting as a trusted compliance advisor to our first line business teams (e.g., GTM, Risk, Ops) to help scale our crypto/stablecoin business and grow our user base globally.

What it asks for · 7

• 9+ years of experience in financial crimes compliance, with significant time spent specifically in the crypto and stablecoin space.
• Sufficient technical understanding to identify automation opportunities and shape agentic solutions that drive compliance.
• A proclivity for curiosity and the ability to develop robust, risk-based opinions in areas that lack clear precedent
• Experience evaluating complex user requests for compliance risk and working with business stakeholders to implement creative solutions to enable users while meeting compliance requirements
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate complex compliance concepts into clear, commercial language for different stakeholders across the business, as well as with users directly
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration skills, including navigating leadership and interpersonal working relationships
• The ability to work efficiently and independently in an ambiguous, fast-paced, and increasingly agentic environment.

Also a plus

• CAMS, CRCM or equivalent certification
• Experience in a hyper-growth tech or fintech environment.
• Working knowledge of crypto regulatory frameworks and standard AML/sanction practices, and a good understanding of the types of compliance matters applicable to a company like Stripe
• AI/Agentic Experience: Understanding of how to leverage LLMs or automated AI tooling to scale compliance work

What the job covers

• Partner deeply with GTM and business teams for complex user deals to identify compliance roadblocks early and design the "path to yes" that aligns with our risk appetite.
• Drive local adoption and development of automated compliance tools/agents. You will be responsible for surfacing nuances, providing feedback for improvement, and ensuring these tools operate reliably for first line teams.
• Act as the lead human-in-the-loop for novel challenges and high-stakes edge cases, using first-principles thinking to navigate regulatory ambiguity where no clear playbook exists.
• Deploy strategically as a subject matter expert to explain intricate compliance requirements to users and first line teams with authority, clarity, and empathy.
• Work with users and internal teams to architect flows — funds flow, data collection, API integration — that meet compliance obligations while minimizing friction.
• Analyze complex edge cases to distinguish between "unfamiliar" and "unsafe”, pushing the boundaries of existing norms to maintain a competitive edge for Stripe
• Articulate and socialize our innovative compliance approach with key external and internal stakeholders, including Regional Compliance Officers and MLROs.
