The position requires close collaboration with Legal, Financial Crimes, Finance, Product, and regional Compliance teams to ensure Stripe maintains a strong regulatory standing with its international supervisory authorities. The international regulatory affairs program is rapidly expanding, and this role is crucial for its growth, focusing on the execution of international regulatory exams and supervisory requests. The ideal candidate will be a strong individual contributor with expertise in financial services regulation outside the US, familiar with regulatory frameworks in markets like Ireland, the UK, Singapore, Australia, and the UAE, and capable of managing complex, multi-jurisdictional inquiries with precision and professionalism. This position offers significant exposure to Stripe's international business, senior leadership, and the operations of a fast-scaling global fintech, providing an opportunity to enhance regulatory exam management skills in a dynamic environment and deepen expertise in international financial regulation.

• 5+ years of experience in financial services regulatory compliance, with meaningful experience in international regulatory exam management, supervisory engagement, or regulatory affairs in a payments or financial services context
• Familiarity with key international regulatory frameworks and financial services supervisors (e.g., FCA, CBI, MAS, ASIC, CBUAE/VARA, or similar), including experience responding to regulatory information requests or examinations from such authorities
• Experience working cross-functionally, coordinating responses across Legal, Compliance, Finance, and Operations teams in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent written communication skills, with demonstrated ability to draft clear, professional regulatory submissions and internal communications
• Strong organizational and project management skills, including the ability to manage multiple concurrent exam processes with competing deadlines

• Sound judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to operate with appropriate autonomy while knowing when to escalate

Responsibilities

• Manage end-to-end regulatory exam processes for Stripe's international licensed entities, including coordinating information requests, organizing document production, and tracking remediation items through to closure
• Serve as a primary point of contact for international regulatory examinations, acting as the liaison between Stripe's internal teams and international supervisory authorities (e.g., the Central Bank of Ireland, the FCA, MAS, ASIC, CBUAE/VARA, and others)
• Draft clear, professional, and well-reasoned regulatory responses, narratives, and submissions in coordination with Legal and Compliance stakeholders
• Monitor and stay current on international regulatory developments—particularly in markets where Stripe holds or is applying for licenses—and assess how changes may impact exam obligations and program activities
• Build and maintain strong working relationships with internal stakeholders including Legal, Financial Crimes, Product, Finance, and regional compliance teams, as well as with outside counsel
• Track and report on the status of open regulatory exam items, remediation timelines, and exam deliverables, providing visibility to senior leadership
