Who you are * Product Management: You bring 3+ years of experience in Product Management, deep understanding of EMEA products landscape ideally within the payments or fintech space.

You are a data-driven decision-maker, comfortable diving into complex datasets to validate hypotheses, measure product success, and inform your roadmap. You are skilled in prioritization, making high-stakes calls to ensure your team focuses on the products that drive the most value for our merchants. * Payment Passionate: You have a curiosity for how money moves and a passion for the diverse EMEA payment landscape. Beyond understanding transaction flows, you understand the shifting regulatory and industry dynamics - from the nuances of PSD3/PSR3 to the rise of Open Banking and the Digital Euro. You understand that for a merchant to win in EMEA, it’s not just about accepting cards; it’s about offering a mix of local payment methods, from iDEAL and Bancontact to Bizum and beyond, to meet customers exactly where they are. You don’t just want to follow these trends - you are excited to leverage Adyen’s position as a market leader to actively shape the future of the European payment industry.  * Commercial Mindset: You are a strategic partner to our sales- and account management teams. You possess the ability to look beyond the "what" to understand the "why" behind merchant needs and market shifts.
