About the Role
Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform used by millions of companies worldwide to accept payments, grow revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, offering you an unprecedented opportunity to impact the global economy while doing meaningful work.

As part of Stripe's world-class Internal Audit (IA) team, you will help strengthen the organisation's ability to create, protect, and sustain value by providing independent, risk-based, and objective assurance, advice, insight, and foresight to the board and management. The IA team moves as fast as the business, leveraging technology and focusing on increasing the maturity of Stripe's controls where it matters most.

In this role, you will contribute to a comprehensive, risk-based internal audit strategy that anticipates emerging risks and aligns with management priorities and regulatory requirements. You will evaluate governance, risk management, internal controls, compliance, financial reporting, and operational processes to produce timely and objective assessments for the Board, Audit Committee, and senior leadership. You will engage with internal partners and regulators, communicate complex risks clearly, and collaborate to translate audit findings into durable remediation plans.

This position requires a deep expertise in treasury, finance, safeguarding, operations, and regulatory compliance audit to help build and scale a global audit program. You will stay current on applicable regulatory requirements and emerging trends to ensure Stripe's internal oversight processes remain robust and effective.
