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
Set strategy and roadmap: Define the vision and roadmap for the domestic card schemes and help shape the wider payment method portfolio, weighing merchant demand, margin, support load and market deadlines. We expect you to make clear trade-offs.
Own scheme and partner relationships: Manage roadmap alignment, specification updates and escalations with scheme operators and partners.
Drive delivery: Write clear product requirements and work with engineering on connections, tokenisation, Tap to Pay and authentication flows. Deliver time-critical launches with a clear plan, owners and risk log.
Step up on team-wide initiatives: Take the lead on strategic, cross-payment-method topics as the team's priorities evolve, and bring them from idea to launch.
Make the commercial case and measure it: Work with sales, account management and pricing on how local schemes compare with global ones. Define success metrics such as authorisation rate, cost and adoption, and review them regularly.
Lead through influence: Align engineering, in-person payments, e-commerce payments, partner engineering, partnerships and operations, and bring trade-offs to leadership early.
What they're looking for
- + years of product management experience in payments or fintech.
- A strong understanding of card processing and how schemes, acquirers, hosts and terminals fit together.
- Technical credibility: you can read API and message specifications (ISO 8583 or similar), discuss architecture with engineers and judge effort and risk without a translator.
- Strategic thinking: you turn open-ended questions into a clear direction and roadmap, and you are excited to take on topics beyond your core area.
