This is Adyen

Our unobvious approach is a product of our diverse perspectives. This diversity, of backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives, is essential in helping us maintain our momentum. Our business challenges are unique, we need as many different voices as possible to join us in solving them - voices like yours. So no matter where you’re from, who you love, or what you believe in, we welcome you to be your true self at Adyen.

Commercial Strategy & Operations, Account Management

You are responsible for co-creating and executing on our commercial growth plans, focused on our global Account Management team.

Simultaneously, your ambition is to optimize commercial operations to make the achievement of strategic goals more effective and efficient while maintaining our culture. You aim to take the burden off our teams and enable them to focus on doing their job as well as possible.
