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
We're looking for a sharp, detail-oriented regulatory professional to join Stripe's Affiliate Assurance and Enablement team as an International Regulatory Exam Lead. In this role, you will manage and coordinate regulatory examinations and supervisory inquiries across Stripe's international licensed entities outside of North America, working closely with Legal, Financial Crimes, Finance, Product, and regional Compliance teams to ensure Stripe demonstrates strong regulatory standing with its international supervisory authorities.
Stripe's international regulatory affairs program is expanding rapidly as we enter new markets and obtain licenses across the EU, UK, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and beyond. This role is a key contributor to that growth—responsible for the hands-on execution of international regulatory exams and supervisory requests. The ideal candidate will be a strong individual contributor with solid subject matter expertise in financial services regulation outside the US, familiar with regulatory frameworks across markets such as Ireland, the UK, Singapore, Australia, the UAE, and others, and a proven ability to manage complex, multi-jurisdictional inquiries with precision, professionalism, and care.
The successful candidate will gain wide-ranging exposure to Stripe's international business lines, senior leadership, and the governance and workings of a fast-scaling global fintech. This is an excellent opportunity to deploy regulatory exam management skills in a rigorous, high-velocity environment, deepen expertise in international financial regulation, and grow within a team that is building from the ground up.
What you’ll do
As an International Regulatory Exam Lead, you will be the primary point of contact for managing regulatory examinations, supervisory inquiries, and periodic regulatory reviews across Stripe's international licensed entities. You will coordinate with regional legal and compliance teams, outside counsel, and internal DRIs to gather, review, and submit high-quality responses to international regulators. You will also help build and mature Stripe's international exam management program as the portfolio of licensed international entities grows.
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
