Team Lead (KYC/KYB)

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.

As Stripe’s user base and global footprint grow dramatically, especially as crypto and stablecoins fundamentally change the way money is transferred, Stripe acquired Bridge to leverage its stablecoin infrastructure for global payments. Stablecoins facilitate faster, cheaper, and more efficient transactions than traditional methods, which creates unique compliance challenges. 

 

The Bridge Operations strategy provides operational leverage and expands Stripe’s portfolio of operational capabilities to support the scaled needs in this rapidly evolving space. In this role, you develop a deep understanding of Stripe’s user verifications and compliance policies, systems, controls and design mechanisms to deliver process improvements and enhanced customer experience.
