The opportunity
Adyen provides payments, data, and financial products in a single solution for customers like Meta, Uber, H&M, and Microsoft - making us the financial technology platform of choice. At Adyen, everything we do is engineered for ambition.
What you'll do
Drive Commercial Excellence: Formulate and execute a strategic vision that transforms risk mitigation into customer value. Treat these premium, paid capabilities like your own business, balancing pricing strategy, revenue drivers, and costs to ensure responsible growth.
Lead & Develop Senior Talent: Direct, coach, and elevate a team of high-performing product managers within Adyen’s Commercial Risk & Platform Fraud group.
Architect Smart Trade-offs: Simplify an ambiguous space by defining clear, actionable use cases with your engineering and partner teams. Strategically decide when to deploy automated technical solutions (such as AI/ML models) versus operational support to optimize merchant value.
Pragmatic Regulatory Strategy: Act as the ultimate product authority for Commercial Risk & Platform Fraud across Adyen. Partner closely with Compliance, Regulatory, and Operations teams to design resilient, auditable capabilities, bringing a pragmatic commercial lens to regulatory interpretation rather than blindly following rigid frameworks.
Lead Through Friction: Drive alignment and partner closely with Engineering, Commercial, Risk, and Operations teams without direct authority. Raise the bar for product clarity and prioritization discipline, making the tough, objective trade-offs necessary to unlock long-term value, even when it means saying "no" to specific groups.
Accelerated Product Leader: You have 8+ years of product management experience, with a track record of progression into leadership roles. You have launched and evolved complex products across every stage of the product lifecycle.
What they're looking for
- People Manager & Coach: You bring hands-on experience hiring, managing, and developing product managers of various levels, with a proven ability to build a collaborative culture of growth, coaching, and mentorship.
- Commercial GM Mindset: You bring a highly analytical, metrics-driven approach to decision-making. You deeply understand revenue drivers, costs, and portfolio management, behaving with the strategic accountability of a P&L owner to optimize business outcomes.
- Strong Tech & AI/ML Instincts: You have a solid conceptual grasp of machine learning, AI, and advanced data-science models. While you don't need to be an ML engineer, you have the technical confidence to collaborate with engineering teams on building products rooted in petabyte-scale datasets.
- Master of Influence: You are a clear, confident, and fearless communicator across technical, commercial, and executive audiences globally. You have a track record of driving cross-functional alignment and managing complex stakeholders without direct authority.
