About the team

The Technical Account Management, Support & Services (TAMSS) organization works directly with Stripe’s most critical users to ensure they are successful and supported. TAMSS partners cross-functionally across Product, Engineering, Risk, and Go-To-Market (GTM) teams to deliver technical consultation, resolve complex issues, and drive success across Stripe’s global platform.

The GTM Risk Specialist will work across customer segments, with a global scope and hybrid internal and external engagement.
