Financial Risk Officer

We are looking for a Financial Risk Officer to join our dynamic global second-line Enterprise Risk team in Amsterdam. These are transformative times for Adyen; we are rapidly growing across the globes and we are broadening our product offering through our embedded financial products. We are looking for a risk manager that strengthens and builds out the banking and financial risk capacity within our technology company. This is where you come in. You have a proactive mindset, you are eager to learn and you are looking for an opportunity that allows you to take ownership and self-dependently translate a vision into practice. While you will contribute to the financial risk team’s overall deliverables, your initial focus will be in the credit risk domain. Together with the first-line teams you will be building out the credit risk framework and processes, and support the launch and scaling of new financial products as well as related models. Adyen has a flat organizational structure and limited management layers, so having expertise means independence but also ownership in conceptualizing and building these solutions yourself. Adyen is a fast-moving place, offering plenty of opportunity to broaden your profile in other risk domains.

What you’ll do

• Build out the Adyen credit risk framework together with the respective first-line teams by translating internal and external requirements into new processes, monitoring and mitigation strategies;
• Represent Adyen in credit risk-related interactions with supervisory authorities and respond to related supervisory requests;
• Independently challenge and support the scaling of Adyen’s embedded financial product offering: loans, bank accounts, card issuing, overdrafts, payout services and FX;
• Contribute to Adyen’s licensing efforts across the globe and expand the financial risk team’s global risk management framework;
• Contribute to key financial risk team’s deliverables including risk policies, SREP, ICAAP/ILAAP, Recovery Planning, Pillar 3 and the Annual Report;
• Represent the financial risk team in relevant Adyen-wide initiatives;

Who you are

• Relevant working experience (5+ years) within banking, financial risk management, financial auditing or consulting, with proven expertise in the credit risk domain and strong quantitative and data-driven analytical skills;
• A proactive, self-dependent, energetic lifelong learner with a hands-on mentality that does not hesitate to challenge the status quo;
• Eagerness to work and drive change in an innovative and dynamically evolving technology company within the financial sector;
• Solid knowledge of prudential banking regulation (CRR, CRD, Basel, OCC, PRA);
• Advanced skills in stakeholder management, as well as building and maintaining strong working relationships across an organization;
• Great communication skills and ability to break down and explain technically challenging topics in simple terms

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’re from, we welcome you to be your true self at Adyen.
