About the role
- At Adyen, everything we do is engineered for ambition.
- This role sits at the intersection of compliance, product, partnerships, and commercial strategy enabling business growth while ensuring scalable, well-controlled solutions.
- Many of our growth initiatives are driven by strategic merchants whose needs influence where we invest.
Responsibilities
- Lead, develop, and scale a globally distributed team focused on enabling growth initiatives across products, geographies, and payment methods.
- Define the growth strategy for Scheme Compliance, working with cross-functional leaders to prioritize new product launches, market expansion, and onboarding of payment methods and financial partners.
- Partner with Commercial and Sales to identify high-value merchant needs and revenue opportunities, translating merchant demand into clear growth priorities, requirements, and build decisions for Product and Engineering.
- Partner closely with Product and Engineering to define payment flows, data models, and configuration standards that embed compliance requirements into systems rather than manual processes.
- Define and standardize operating models for new business lines, including clear control points, monitoring requirements, and defensible documentation for regulators and partners.
- Drive cross-functional programs across Commercial, Partnerships, Legal, Risk, and Product to accelerate time-to-market for strategic initiatives.
- Identify friction in existing payments compliance or partner requirements and proactively design solutions or influence changes to unlock growth.
- Build playbooks, tooling requirements, and training programs to increase organizational fluency in growth-related compliance topics.
- Design scalable solutions for merchants whose business models do not fit neatly within network mandates, creatively problem-solving to support merchants, challenge network interpretations where appropriate, and partner with Product to build repeatable operating models that unlock revenue opportunities for other merchants.
- Demonstrated ability to design platform-level guardrails for new payment flows or business models and to decide when to launch, constrain, or decline based on risk/reward.
Requirements
- Strong product mindset, with experience translating regulatory and scheme requirements into system behavior, data structures, and configuration rules in partnership with Product and Engineering.
- Proven experience leading global, cross-functional initiatives that involve multiple stakeholders (e.g., Product, Legal, Commercial, Partnerships).
- Experience evaluating new business models or payment flows and defining clear guardrails for launch.
