About Adyen

To the general public, Adyen may be best known for its highly-successful IPO. Yet every day, millions of people around the world engage with the company without realizing it. Adyen’s proprietary payment platform processes online payments simply, quickly and safely. Major companies like Facebook, Spotify, Netflix, Microsoft, Nike, and De Bijenkorf use it, along with a growing number of smaller businesses like restaurants, online retailers, and museums. Adyen has also recently announced plans to expand into banking products like issuing, credit, and bank accounts.

Adyen’s infrastructure directly connects to every common payment system from Visa, MasterCard, and other credit and debit cards to PayPal and Apple Pay. They provide the best payment solution for online, mobile, and instore transactions, which helps their clients expand their online businesses. Adyen inspires smarter decisions and a superior customer experience, provides cross-channel insights, facilitates full control of funds and enables expansion into new markets.

Since it launched, Adyen has experienced incredible growth. Based in Amsterdam, Adyen now has twenty-six offices across five continents and employs more than two thousand people. In 2021, Adyen reported net revenues of over one billion euros and processed more than 500 billion euros in payments. Its next milestone is to achieve over one trillion euros in total annual payments. And with their current yearly growth rate of more than twenty-five percent, achieving this goal is just a matter of time.

Team management is a key focus of this role. The Commercial Analytics Lead will support their team members’ day-to-day responsibilities and empower their personal growth. They will also establish the overall team direction and priorities, making sure they work towards scalable solutions that align with Adyen’s strategic priorities.
