## Description (the employer's text)

### 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

Stripe is seeking an experienced and strategic Chief Risk Officer (CRO) for Stripe Technology Europe Limited (STEL), our Irish regulated entity. This role reports to the Chief Risk & Compliance Officer, EMEA, sits within the Financial Crime, Compliance & Risk Oversight (FinCRO) organization, and directly manages the STEL Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) and Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO).

You will lead STEL’s enterprise risk management function and provide senior leadership across its risk, regulatory compliance, and financial crime oversight functions. You will play a critical role in enabling Stripe’s continued safe growth, ensuring that STEL’s risk management framework, governance, and oversight evolve alongside its business and regulatory obligations.

### What you’ll do

As CRO, you will provide independent, constructive challenge to the business and clear, actionable advice to STEL’s executive management, Risk Committee, and Board. You will build strong relationships with the Central Bank of Ireland and internal stakeholders, bringing an entity-level perspective to a global, technology-led organization.

The ideal candidate will combine deep enterprise risk management expertise with strong regulatory judgment, experience leading senior control-function professionals, and a proven ability to build practical, scalable risk and compliance programs in a regulated financial services or payments environment.

### Responsibilities

- Strategic Leadership: Develop and execute STEL’s risk management strategy, aligned with its business strategy, Board-approved risk appetite, and global FinCRO objectives. Promote a culture of informed risk-taking, clear accountability, and timely escalation as Stripe expands its products and services.
- Enterprise Risk Management: Own and enhance STEL’s Risk Management Framework and oversee its implementation and effectiveness. Lead the processes for identifying, assessing, monitoring, challenging, and reporting material and emerging risks. Maintain a comprehensive entity-level risk profile, supported by risk assessments, a risk register, and meaningful management information.
- Risk Appetite and Governance: Lead the development and ongoing review of STEL’s Risk Appetite Framework and Statement for consideration by the Risk Committee and approval by the Board. Challenge proposed risk limits and thresholds, monitor performance against appetite, and ensure breaches are promptly assessed, escalated, and addressed. Provide clear recommendations on material risk decisions and proposed changes to STEL’s risk profile.
- Team Management: Lead, mentor, and develop STEL’s compliance leadership team, including direct management of the STEL CCO and MLRO. Set clear priorities, ensure appropriate resources and expertise, and foster collaboration across risk, regulatory compliance, and financial crime oversight.
- Regulatory Compliance and Financial Crime Oversight: Through leadership of the STEL CCO and MLRO, oversee the effectiveness of STEL’s regulatory compliance and financial crime programs. Ensure material compliance, AML/CFT, sanctions, and other financial crime risks are reflected in STEL’s enterprise risk assessments, governance, and reporting. Support the CCO and MLRO in delivering their mandates and escalating significant issues.
- Board and Executive Reporting: Provide comprehensive, timely, and actionable reporting to STEL’s executive management, Risk Committee, and Board on the entity’s risk profile, control effectiveness, emerging risks, and remediation priorities. Maintain direct access to the Risk Committee and Board, exercising independent judgment and escalating material concerns where necessary.
