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 To advance Stripe's important mission, we are building a world-class Internal Audit (IA) team. Our purpose is to strengthen the organization's ability to create, protect, and sustain value by providing the board and management with independent, risk-based, and objective assurance, advice, insight, and foresight. We are consumed with the goal of moving as fast as the business, being powered by technology, and increasing the maturity of Stripe's controls where it matters most. Our IA team is responsible for providing objective assurance on the design and operational effectiveness of Stripe's internal controls and business processes, its compliance with laws and regulations, its risk management framework, and other governance processes. Organized as a single global function, the team operates under a unified methodology, set of policies, and governance model—with specialized leads who bring deep domain expertise while working in alignment with that shared framework.

You'll design and lead a comprehensive, risk-based internal audit strategy tailored to the unique demands of an OCC-regulated national trust bank and one of the most dynamic and highly regulated frontiers of payments and treasury—stablecoins. You'll serve as a critical independent voice, producing assessments that enable the Board, Audit Committee, and senior leadership to make informed decisions about operational resilience, custody and treasury, counterparty and ledger risk, fiduciary obligations, and regulatory compliance. This role moves beyond traditional auditing—you'll assess control design and remediation across on-chain and off-chain systems, smart contract integrations, liquidity management, fiduciary frameworks, and partner networks. RESPONSIBILITIES * Lead and execute a risk-based internal audit strategy providing end-to-end coverage for stablecoin activities—including issuance and redemption flows, treasury and reserve management, custody and key management, on-ramps and off-ramps, and interoperability with payment rails and banking partners—in full compliance with OCC 12 CFR Part 30 (Heightened Standards). * Audit key fiduciary frameworks applicable to trust and custodial products (including those subject to Regulation 9), assessing and testing governance, compliance, treasury, financial reporting, reconciliation, technology, risk management, and operational controls unique to stablecoin programs and trust banking to ensure design and operating effectiveness. * Coordinate audits that integrate on-chain evidence, blockchain analytics, and transaction tracing with traditional financial audit techniques to produce objective findings and recommendations. * Present independent, objective reports directly to the Audit Committee and Board on the effectiveness of internal controls, risk management, and governance processes, communicating complex technical and regulatory risks to senior stakeholders in clear, actionable terms. * Serve as the primary IA point of contact for regulators (e.g., OCC, state banking agencies, FinCEN), industry-standard bodies, and network partners—managing submission of materials, responding to Supervisory Letters and exam findings such as MRIAs and MRAs, and presenting audit evidence and findings to enhance confidence in oversight of stablecoin programs. * Partner with senior management and cross-functional teams—including engineering, product, treasury, legal, compliance, and operations—to translate audit findings into durable, structured remediation plans with control enhancements, tracking all corrective actions to verified closure. WHO YOU ARE We're looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement.
