• Raise the craft bar in a domain where quality and trust matter deeply.
• Work across dozens of teams to create product patterns for risk and compliance experiences across Stripe.
• Explore, shape, and prototype new ideas and products.
• Influence strategy through strong product thinking, storytelling, and design judgment.
• Lead design on complex, cross-functional problems with multiple stakeholders and constraints.
• Collaborate across the Risk team and the wider Stripe design team to influence the shape and visual standards for product surfaces.

• Ability to build trust through design, especially in high-stakes or sensitive user moments.
• Ability to work across disciplines and build credibility with technical, operational, and policy-oriented partners.
