Role
Who you are
- The Experience: 10+ years of professional experience in high-growth environments (top-tier agencies, tech startups, or elite in-house teams)
- The Tech Stack: * Mastery: Figma (Components, Variables, Auto-layout) and Framer (CMS, Animations, Components)
- Proficiency: Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects)
- The Edge: Deep practical knowledge of AI tools (Midjourney, Runway, Magician, etc.) and a hunger for "extra tooling" (e.g., Lottie, Spline, or Rive)
- The Portfolio: A showcase of "High Craft." We want to see sophisticated, expert use of grid systems, and digital work that feels "alive."
- The Specialist Mindset: You are a UI Specialist. You find joy in the "final 10%", the polish, the motion, and the component architecture
- Note: This is not a UX role. If your passion is user testing, wireframing, or journey mapping, this won’t be the right fit. We want the visual storytellers and the system builders
- The Communication: Full professional fluency in English with the ability to articulate "the why" behind "the what."
- The Drive: You are a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment and isn't afraid to "get your hands dirty" in an all-hands-on-deck culture
What the job involves
- Adyen is looking for a Heavyweight UI Designer who lives at the intersection of high-end aesthetics and technical innovation
- You aren't just a "visual" designer; you are a digital designer who builds scalable, high-fidelity systems
- As a Senior/Heavyweight lead, you will bridge the gap between brand strategy and interactive execution
- You will take complex financial concepts and transform them into world-class digital experiences
- This role requires a tech-forward mindset: we are looking for someone who views AI as a fundamental layer of their creative process and Framer as their playground for high-fidelity deployment
- Systemic UI Design: Architect and evolve sophisticated UI kits and design systems in Figma that empower our global marketing and product teams
- High-Fidelity Prototyping: Use Framer to bring static designs to life, creating production-ready micro-interactions and immersive web experiences that feel tangible
- AI-Driven Workflows: Lead the charge in integrating AI tools into the design lifecycle, from generative assets to automated layout testing and workflow optimization
- Brand Elevation: Strategically translate Adyen’s value proposition and brand system into impactful digital visuals, ensuring the brand remains premium, cohesive, and cutting-edge across all touchpoints
- Knowledge share: Lead and inspire young designers
- Stakeholder Mastery: Present high-level creative concepts to executive stakeholders, advocating for design choices with a blend of data-driven logic and creative intuition
- Global Scalability: Build with a "flex-first" mindset, ensuring UI solutions adapt seamlessly across multiple languages, regions, and device constraints without losing aesthetic integrity
- Execution & Ownership: Manage high-stakes projects from initial prompt to final hand-off, maintaining "heavyweight" standards of quality and autonomous project management

Our take
Adyen has been one of the most successful businesses in Europe over the last decade. When it went public in 2018 at a valuation of €7 billion, it raised over €1 billion and its share price popped on the first day, resulting in a valuation of €14 billion. And its valuation has continued to climb in the years since.
Adyen competes with large players like PayPal, as well as outsized startups like Stripe, to power payments and provide other infrastructure to conduct digital transactions. Disrupters in the field have been buoyed by a strong rise in eCommerce activity, where some or all of a transaction by a customer is made either online or by mobile.
Adyen has been one of the companies riding the wave by helping interested businesses to choose and then implement online payments - without the usual hoops to step through. Notable partners have included Autocanteen, a touchless self-checkout solution for the hospitality industry, and BILL, a small business-focused fintech platform.
