Responsibilities
- Drive Commercial Excellence: Formulate and execute a strategic vision that transforms risk mitigation into customer value. Treat these premium, paid capabilities like your own business, balancing pricing strategy, revenue drivers, and costs to ensure responsible growth.
- Lead & Develop Senior Talent: Direct, coach, and elevate a team of high-performing product managers within Adyen’s Commercial Risk & Platform Fraud group.
- Architect Smart Trade-offs: Simplify an ambiguous space by defining clear, actionable use cases with your engineering and partner teams. Strategically decide when to deploy automated technical solutions (such as AI/ML models) versus operational support to optimize merchant value.
- Pragmatic Regulatory Strategy: Act as the ultimate product authority for Commercial Risk & Platform Fraud across Adyen. Partner closely with Compliance, Regulatory, and Operations teams to design resilient, auditable capabilities, bringing a pragmatic commercial lens to regulatory interpretation rather than blindly following rigid frameworks.
- Lead Through Friction: Drive alignment and partner closely with Engineering, Commercial, Risk, and Operations teams without direct authority. Raise the bar for product clarity and prioritization discipline, making the tough, objective trade-offs necessary to unlock long-term value, even when it means saying "no" to specific groups.

- Strong Tech & AI/ML Instincts: You have a solid conceptual grasp of machine learning, AI, and advanced data-science models. While you don't need to be an ML engineer, you have the technical confidence to collaborate with engineering teams on building products rooted in petabyte-scale datasets.
