Adyen's mission is to make payments choices easy for merchants.
Role
Who you are
- Do you want to be at the forefront of the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing and join a passionate team of AML Compliance experts? And are you somebody who enjoys the challenge of navigating AML Compliance matters in a growing and dynamic business?
- A minimum of (3 years +) of relevant experience in AML Compliance, preferrably not (only) in AML operations, but also in expertise driven roles
- Strong knowledge of AML/CFT laws and regulations and intrinsic motivation to follow trends and developments in the AML domain
- Exceptional analytical, independent thinking and problem-solving skills
- Ability to adapt to a very dynamic environment and handle multiple priorities at the same time
- Experience in the financial sector is a must. Experience with payments is a plus
- Strong communication skills, excellent verbal and written English
What the job involves
- A key part of building our business is ensuring we do it ethically and sustainably. In order to do so, Adyen needs to understand and monitor at all times what happens on our platform and whether this is in line with regulations and our risk appetite. And that in a scalable and adaptive way
- To achieve this, we are looking for an AML Compliance Expert to join our AML Compliance Department based in Amsterdam and covering our global business
- Join a team of AML Compliance experts who design, execute and monitor AML Compliance processes. In scope of this team are AML expert advice on client onboarding and review, sanctions, AML referrals from internal and external stakeholders, design of risk based AML controls for new product and client setups as well as AML process design and training
- Analyze regulatory changes, new regulations, and internal policy changes and translate this in risk assessments and procedures. Subsequently, you will work together with internal departments to bring the necessary measures in place
- Though operational work on the most individual merchants or setups is part of the scope, the role will require the expert to work on more holistic AML risk assessments of merchant groups, products and industries
- Challenge the status quo continuously, finding AML Compliance solutions for new products, setups and processes
- Engage with key stakeholders in and outside of the Compliance teams, and work cooperatively to design, develop and implement enhancements
Application process
- Ensuring a smooth and enjoyable candidate experience is critical for us
- We aim to get back to you regarding your application within 5 business days
- Our interview process tends to take about 4 weeks to complete, but may fluctuate depending on the role
- Don’t be afraid to let us know if you need more flexibility
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.
