Head of Global Credit Risk

This is Adyen

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.

For our teams, we create an environment with opportunities for our people to succeed, backed by the culture and support to ensure they are enabled to truly own their careers. We are motivated individuals who tackle unique technical challenges at scale and solve them as a team. Together, we deliver innovative and ethical solutions that help businesses achieve their ambitions faster.

The role

The Head of Credit Risk is a pivotal global leadership position within Adyen’s Operations function. This is not a new department, but rather an evolving and growing pillar of our business. As Adyen continues to aggressively build out and scale its suite of financial products, our risk management strategies must grow alongside them.

While our Second Line defines the boundaries and Product builds the tools, the Credit Risk department owns the execution. The department’s focus is centered around managing our counterparty risk across both our acquiring business (chargeback risk) and our issuing/financial products (such as capital lending). In this role, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management of these exposures. As the chair of the Merchant Risk Committee (MRC) and a member of the Risk Committee (RC), you will serve as the operational voice that bridges the gap between commercial ambition and financial prudence, ensuring we safely scale our next generation of financial services.
