Adyen is seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) detection product within the Identity & Risk Intelligence division. Financial crime is becoming increasingly complex, and as Adyen expands into new products and markets, detection capabilities must scale without becoming a growth bottleneck.
In this role, you will own the strategy and execution of financial crime detection across Adyen's platform, serving customers like Meta, Uber, H&M, and Microsoft. You'll lead a cross-functional team of Data Scientists, Data Analysts, and Backend Engineers, working closely with Compliance, Operations, and other product teams.
Key responsibilities include:
• Building and scaling Machine Learning models, rules, and risk signals to detect financial crimes across Adyen's products, markets, and customer base
• Designing a self-service detection framework that leverages ML, GenAI, and agentic approaches to reduce manual effort and scale without proportional headcount growth
• Owning execution of the financial crime detection strategy with ruthless prioritization and data-driven trade-offs
• Serving as the primary product partner for Compliance, translating regulatory expectations into clear product boundaries and demonstrating continuous improvement to regulators
• Defining how detection quality and efficiency are measured in a domain where ground truth is often unknown, continuously improving signal quality for the Investigations team
• Leading cross-functional alignment on roadmap and strategy across Compliance, Operations, and risk teams
This is an office-first role based in Amsterdam with a focus on in-person collaboration.
Requirements:
• 8+ years of Product Management experience building ML-driven, high-scale products in fast-growing tech or fintech environments
• 2+ years of experience in AML, fraud detection, or financial crime
• Proven track record of owning and scaling ML-driven products (detection, scoring, risk models); comfortable going deep with Data Scientists on model performance, evaluation, and trade-offs
• Experience building products in highly regulated environments (payments, banking, fintech) with solid understanding of how regulation shapes product decisions
• Strong influence with senior and opinionated stakeholders, especially Compliance, Legal, and Risk; able to hold a position, explain reasoning, and maintain trust
• Clear, data-driven decision-making with confidence to say no; comfortable owning outcomes without a single clean success metric
• Highly autonomous and accountable; able to take an agreed strategy and drive it through execution
