Role
Who you are
- Experience: You bring 8+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, preferably within high-growth technology, fintech, or payments
- Versatility: You have successfully recruited across multiple business domains and can flex between GTM, Legal, Compliance, and HR roles
- Stakeholder Management: You can quickly learn a new business, product, or talent segment, translate that into an effective strategy, and build credibility quickly with senior leaders
- Market Mapping & Data: You are an exceptional sourcer who uses data and market intelligence to shape strategy, influence stakeholders, and make better decisions
- Communication & Adaptability: You communicate clearly and directly (even in difficult conversations), challenge constructively without friction, and remain adaptable and low-ego
- High Bar: You care deeply about candidate experience, maintain high professionalism, and are energized by ambiguity in fast-moving environments
- If so, Adyen encourages you to reconsider and apply. We look forward to your application!
What the job involves
- We’re looking for an experienced Senior GTM Recruiter to join our North America Talent Acquisition team in San Francisco
- As a Senior Recruiter, you will serve as a strategic partner to business leaders — combining deep expertise in identifying complex enterprise talent with a track record of proactively sourcing hard-to-reach, passive candidates
- Your primary focus will be owning commercial hiring across Account Management, Partnerships, and Marketing, but your versatility allows you to quickly master new markets and support non-GTM roles as priorities shift
- We want a recruiter who builds high-performing teams, challenges assumptions with market data, and empowers leaders to make better hiring decisions
- Own Full-Cycle Recruiting Across GTM: Lead hiring across key commercial functions with a focus on quality, urgency, and candidate experience
- Proactive Sourcing: Build deep pipelines of passive commercial talent rather than relying primarily on inbound candidates
- Market Intelligence: Map relevant talent markets and provide insight on competitor organizations, candidate availability, compensation, location, and market dynamics
- Trusted Advisor: Act as a trusted partner to hiring managers—knowing when to challenge, when to influence, and when to align and move
- Data-Driven Recruitment: Use funnel data and recruiting insights to identify issues early and recommend practical solutions
- Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner across Recruiting, People, Compensation, and the broader business to solve hiring challenges
- Team Enablement: Contribute beyond your own requisitions by mentoring others, sharing market expertise, and improving how we work
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.
