Risk Management Officer-Prudential and Financial Risk 

Adyen is looking for a broad Risk management specialist in our Amsterdam office to join our global second line Corporate Risk team. Someone that has experience with the SREP cycle at banks but wants to apply that knowledge in a fresh and exciting tech growth environment.

These are transformative times for Adyen; we are rapidly growing in new countries and are launching new financial products. We do this the Adyen way; we build it ourselves. This also requires a specific kind of second line risk management; proactive, available, constructive and via practical guidance and boundaries. 

We are looking for a professional that wants to strengthen the banking capacity within our technology company by building out our global risk management framework. You understand financial risk, supervision and the concept of resilience. This is where you come in.

You are looking for an opportunity to take ownership and are looking for a steep learning curve. Adyen has little hierarchy and management levels, so that means you will be involved in building, representing, and maintaining the full scope of risk management yourself.

What you’ll do:

• Expand and improve our global risk management framework
• Contribute to our positive working relationship with regulators and act on their supervisory risk management requests
• Carry out a broad array of risk assessments; strategic, targeted at events or (new) products, icaap, ilaap, recovery planning, ESG, etc.
• Serve as a point of contact for our finance and product teams on prudential risk management requirements
• Represent risk management in Adyen-broad projects
• Be an integral part of the global corporate risk team (18fte) and as such contribute to Adyen global risk management activities. Think of facilitate risk appetite setting, design resilience plans and launch business continuity exercises.

Who you are:

• A proactive, energetic, lifelong learner that has a hands-on mentality;
• Relevant working experience (~5 years or more) within second-line risk management, either in-house or through a consulting role
• Project management skills
• Prudential risk and financial risk management experience
• Professional knowledge of (some) banking regulation (CRR / CRD, Basel, EBA, OCC, PRA)
• Great communicative and stakeholder management skills
