Adyen is a global payments and financial technology platform serving enterprises like Meta, Uber, H&M, and Microsoft. The AML Compliance Analytics team, part of the Second Line AML Compliance function, provides global oversight of Adyen's transaction monitoring framework and owns the associated financial crime risk.
This is a senior individual-contributor role focused on anti-money laundering (AML) and financial economic crime (FEC) analytics. You will lead through expertise, mentoring, and influence rather than line management. You will set the methodology the team works to, hold sign-off as risk owner on changes to the transaction monitoring framework, and engage directly with Model Validation, Internal Audit, and regulators to ensure controls are effective.
Key responsibilities include:
- Draft FEC risk scenarios that define the financial crime risks that transaction monitoring must cover
- Independently challenge and advise the First Line on the design, implementation, and effectiveness of detection methods; approve changes to the transaction monitoring framework as risk owner
- Draft and review procedures, guidelines, and technical model documentation with clear regulatory rationale
- Support new product launches by assessing risks to the current framework and managing required changes
- Create validation tools and run data analysis to identify enhancements and drive continuous improvement of the global framework
- Represent and defend controls to Model Validation, Internal Audit, and regulators; own remediation of findings
- Align diverse stakeholders and represent Second Line AML Compliance in cross-functional workstreams
You will work in a fast-paced, high-autonomy environment at the intersection of AML typologies, data, and analytics, helping a framework under continuous refinement stay ahead of emerging financial crime threats.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 5+ years in AML, Financial Crime, or Compliance Analytics (depth matters more than exact tenure)
- Proven track record developing, tuning, or advising on FEC risk scenarios and transaction monitoring frameworks
- End-to-end ownership mindset; ability to navigate ambiguity and competing priorities with minimal oversight
- Strong stakeholder management skills; credible with engineers, regulators, and commercial teams; ability to communicate directly and respectfully
- Ability to form and defend your own view under scrutiny and hold sign-off as a risk owner
- Data-savvy and hands-on: ability to dig into large datasets using Python/PySpark to generate insights and use Looker to present findings
- Energized by a launch-fast-and-iterate environment while balancing speed with regulatory rigor
- Full professional proficiency in English
