Desirable

• Stripe MALPB operates in a highly complex, fast-moving regulatory environment. The Risk and Compliance team is responsible for ensuring that our expansion is grounded in a bulletproof governance framework that matches the speed of our technology
• Having successfully established our foundational ERM policies, taxonomy, and risk registers, we are entering the integration phase. This team is building the future of "AI-Native" risk management—where governance frameworks are embedded into daily business operations through automated data pipelines, machine learning, and LLM orchestration
• As the sole dedicated ERM Lead for Stripe MALPB, you will own the enterprise risk program end-to-end. This is a unique hybrid role designed for a technically fluent risk architect
• Roughly 1/3rd of your time will be dedicated to ERM Integration and Execution: rolling out our mature risk framework to the First Line (1LoD), running the RCSA cycle, managing the control library, and synthesizing risk scorecards for executive and Board-level reporting
• Roughly 2/3rds of your time will be dedicated to AI and Control Automation Design: acting as a hands-on developer to build and scale LLM tools, automated evidence-collection scripts, and real-time monitoring workflows that eliminate manual compliance overhead
• ERM Framework Integration & Execution (1/3rd) * Enterprise Rollout: Drive the cross-functional implementation and adoption of the established ERM framework across all Stripe MALPB business lines and operational functions
• RCSA Facilitation: Execute the annual and semi-annual Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) cycles, providing robust independent 2LoD challenge to 1LoD risk ratings and control effectiveness
• Control Library & Governance: Maintain the Master Control Library, Central Risk Register, and universal Risk Taxonomy, ensuring strict version control, change management, and alignment with emerging threats
• Appetite & KRI Monitoring: Aggregate, analyze, and validate Key Risk Indicators (KRIs) against Board-approved Risk Appetite thresholds; trigger formal remediation and Management Action Plans (MAPs) upon breach
• Board & Executive Reporting: Synthesize quantitative risk metrics and qualitative horizon scanning into the quarterly Enterprise Risk Scorecard for presentation to the Management Risk Committee and the Board of Directors
• AI & Control Automation Design (2/3rd) * Automated Evidence Collection: Design, write, and deploy automated data extraction pipelines (via SQL and APIs) to systematically sample and pull control verification data from core systems
• LLM Orchestration: Build and implement AI/LLM agents to perform semantic analysis on operational logs, policy documents, and compliance records, automatically flagging anomalies or control deficiencies
• GRC System Engineering: Partner with technical teams to optimize and configure our GRC infrastructure, implementing automated self-attestation workflows and removing system bottlenecks
• Continuous Monitoring: Transition the bank away from passive, point-in-time testing toward a real-time, automated dashboard environment that monitors key operational and regulatory controls dynamically
