Investigations, Law Enforcement and Engagement Lead

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.

The Investigations team is part of Stripe's Global Financial Crimes Compliance and Risk Oversight ("FinCRO") function and is responsible for conducting investigations across a range of financial crime risk areas which include significant fraud, money laundering, and insider risk investigations. We operate at the intersection of financial crime intelligence, complex investigations, and supportability — and we work closely with law enforcement, NGOs, and industry coalitions to strengthen defenses against the actors threatening the integrity of the financial system.

Reporting directly to the Head of Investigations, you'll be responsible for the design and execution of FinCRO Investigations' global engagement strategy with law enforcement and industry working groups in support of developing strategic partnerships and facilitating the pursuit of threat actors with local authorities around the world. As a key function of this role, you'll serve as Stripe's primary liaison to law enforcement for financial crime matters — coordinating complex joint investigations and facilitating case referrals and escalations that drive enforcement outcomes.

In this role, you'll also ensure that the benefits of these engagement efforts are integrated into the overall Investigations program, ensuring that intelligence, threat trends, and regulatory and law enforcement insights are ingested and delivered to investigative teams across the organization for training purposes and program enhancements. You'll also provide oversight over the operational processes that directly connect into this role to ensure the end-to-end referral, intake, and escalation framework is designed and operating effectively.
