Together, we deliver innovative and ethical solutions that help businesses achieve their ambitions faster. About this role The future of Operations at Adyen is built on data-driven autonomy.

The Opportunity Adyen operates as a full-stack payment processor and licensed global banking institution, capturing the behavior and complex interactions of billions of shoppers and millions of businesses worldwide. As we scale our footprint in banking, card issuing, and embedded financial products, the financial risk profiles we manage are significantly higher than traditional payment processing alone.

We are looking for a Group Product Manager (GPM) to lead and develop a senior team of product managers within Adyen’s Commercial Risk & Platform Fraud group. This is not a standard product role. We need an all-around biztech leader who possesses strong technical instincts but treats the domain like a high-growth business, balancing architecture with a commercial mindset, regulatory strategy, and high-friction cross-functional alignment. What You'll Do Drive Commercial Excellence: Formulate and execute a strategic vision that transforms risk mitigation into customer value.
