About the team

The Capital team is responsible for managing the end-to-end risk strategy for Stripe's lending product. The team is based in the US and is composed of curious, driven, and analytical individuals who are passionate about using their skills to shape the future of Stripe. We partner closely with Stripe's engineering, data science, product, and servicing teams to leverage existing platforms, integrate industry best practices, and develop novel solutions to evaluate and manage credit risk. If you are interested in joining a fast-growing organization and applying your experience to shape the future of Stripe, we encourage you to apply.

What you’ll do

As a key member of the Capital team, you will have the opportunity to shape the future of Stripe's credit policy by driving meaningful changes to the risk and underwriting framework. You will leverage Stripe's vast data assets to formulate your recommendations and work closely with our partners and, where applicable, leverage third-party data. We are a small and lean team, which means you will have the autonomy and the responsibility to manage end-to-end risk initiatives.

• Architect and implement credit policies based on Stripe's proprietary data and selected industry data to target, price, and size capital products.
• Utilize your analytical and technical skills to provide credit risk recommendations, deliver insights, and support strategic business decisions.
