Company mission

Adyen's mission is to make payments choices easy for merchants.

Role

Who you are

  • You have at least 4 years’ experience in the payments or banking industry
  • You have a proven track record in developing or advising on transaction monitoring frameworks, AML analytics, or equivalent experience (working with development/analytical teams in a compliance setting)
  • You have excellent organizational skills and know how to manage a project from conception to launch
  • You are comfortable writing queries in SQL and/or Python/Pyspark and have experience using visualization tools like Looker
  • You are a quick learner and take a ‘launch fast and iterate’ approach to tackling problems; and,
  • You have strong communication skills and can work well with both technical and commercial teams

What the job involves

  • Our Compliance AML Analytics team (part of the wider Second Line AML Compliance team) is looking for an experienced AML Data Expert
  • The successful candidate must have strong analytical skills combined with deep knowledge on Anti-Money Laundering (‘AML’)
  • This will enable the candidate to advise and challenge the First Line teams on both the regulatory and the technical aspects of Adyen’s transaction monitoring framework
  • The AML Data Analytics team is overseeing Adyen’s transaction monitoring framework from a global perspective
  • Given the dynamic environment of our company and the wider industry, this framework is continuously changing and enhanced
  • The team works closely with the teams responsible for developing and maintaining the transaction monitoring processes, the AML investigative teams, and internal and external authorities such as model validation, internal audit, and supervisors and regulators
  • Inform, advise, and independently challenge the business on matters relating to transaction monitoring and the application of analytics to AML efforts
  • Draft and review procedures, guidelines, and technical model documentation
  • Support new product launches through risk assessments and design of new transaction monitoring methods
  • Create validation tools/processes and perform thematic data analysis to drive improvements to the transaction monitoring framework
  • Liaise with internal and external stakeholders, such as model validation, internal audit, and relevant regulators and supervisors
  • Represent the wider AML Compliance team on a variety of work-streams to establish strategies that align with global objectives and ensure controlled and compliant growth; and,
  • Strengthen knowledge management on AML, data, and analytics across the global business

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 €7bn, it raised over €1bn and its share price popped on the first day, resulting in a valuation of €14bn. Its valuation has continued to climb by the billions.

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 to reduce the friction between a company choosing to take payments online, and actually being able to do it. That can take multiple steps and agreements across numerous countries — Adyen’s pitch is that it essentially handles all of it in the backend as a service for its users. Notable partners have included Autocanteen, a touchless self-checkout solution for the hospitality industry, and BILL, a small business-focused fintech platform.
