Senior Sanctions Counsel

Our fast-paced FEC Governance Team (part of the wider AML Compliance Team) is looking for a Senior Sanctions Counsel to provide expert legal guidance on applicable sanctions regimes (including, but not limited to, the EU, NL, US and UK sanctions regimes) and their application to our financial products and services. This role requires deep knowledge of applicable sanctions regimes, and the ability to assess legal and compliance risks in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

What you’ll do

  • Provide counsel on applicable sanctions regimes (including, but not limited to, the EU, NL, US and UK sanctions regimes) as it applies to Adyen;
  • Monitor and analyse changes in sanctions laws and enforcement trends to provide proactive legal advice to relevant stakeholders across the global business;
  • Translate identified obligations into relevant Policies and Procedures to be effectively communicated and implemented across the global business;
  • Provide input and advice into the integrity risk assessment process as it pertains to sanctions;
  • Conduct enhanced due diligence (EDD) on high-risk customers to assess potential sanctions violations and determine licensing requirements;
  • Ensure proper reporting of sanctions violations to competent authorities and law enforcement agencies;
  • Assist in regulatory inquiries, and external and internal audits related to sanctions;
  • Play a key role in implementing sanctions obligations into Adyen’s sanctions compliance framework, ensuring alignment with regulatory requirements and operational feasibility;
  • Deliver training and guidance to internal stakeholders on sanctions-related matters.

Who you are

  • You have 5+ years of relevant experience, preferably within a global financial institution, and/or within the payments industry, and/or within the credit card industry, and/or at a regulatory agency;
  • You possess a deep understanding of sanctions regulations (including, but not limited to, the EU, NL, US and UK sanctions regimes);
  • You have excellent research, analytical, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, with the ability to assess sanctions risks and propose practical solutions;
  • You have strong interpersonal and communication skills. Specifically, you will be able to liaise and connect with a wide variety of internal and external stakeholders, and you are perfectly capable of drafting a wide variety of documents through increased sensitivity to language, structure, content and audience;
  • You have an affinity for technical details related to sanctions compliance, including the practical implementation of sanctions screening, geofencing, and transaction monitoring controls;
  • You have a strong sense of initiative, independence and ability to take ownership of your work, while being a people person and enjoying collaborating with individuals from different levels of seniority, cultures and background; and,
  • You have a strong ability to adapt to a dynamic and fast-paced environment, being able to handle continuous changes and strict deadlines by working in an organised manner.

Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion commitments

Our unique approach is a product of our diverse perspectives. This diversity of backgrounds and cultures is essential in helping us maintain our momentum. Our business and technical challenges are unique, and we need as many different voices as possible to join us in solving them - voices like yours. No matter who you are or where you are from, we welcome you to be your true self at Adyen.

Studies show that women and members of underrepresented communities apply for jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. Does this sound like you? If so, Adyen encourages you to reconsider and apply. We look forward to your application.
