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

The Risk Operations team is looking for an experienced Credit Operations Analyst to join an industry leading global credit operations team.

As a Credit Analyst, you will execute operational processes and scale programs while devising growth friendly solutions that reduce Stripe's credit risk.

Did you know that only around 4% of the world's GDP comes from internet commerce? At Stripe, we believe that this represents a future with almost limitless potential for innovation, creativity and global prosperity.

While the promise of a global online economy is palpable, it doesn't come without significant risk. Billions of dollars are processed by Stripe each year and the Credit Operations team works to ensure that exposure is minimised while facilitating company growth.

We are looking for someone passionate about commercial credit, the payments ecosystem, and has a strong desire to work collaboratively with peers and partners in the credit space while building and enhancing processes at scale.

This person will work alongside a global team of analysts and build cross functional partnerships with engineering, strategy, sales, vendor management and more.

The right candidate for this role should have an understanding of general credit principals, risk management, and credit modelling.

Successful candidates for the role will have a minimum of three years experience in credit operations within the payments, fintech, or financial service spaces.

  • Complete in-depth credit reviews on merchants throughout their life cycle to identify credit concerns.
  • Investigate and action / triage escalations across multiple channels while providing accurate and timely responses

The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
