We are at the forefront of building the future of payments, a rapidly changing industry. We approach projects as an opportunity to exceed our customers’ expectations - designing the right experiences, at the right time, the right way.

What you’ll do

  • Drive Systemic Logic & Strategy: Take accountability for the core experience logic that connects different product suites. You work across solution areas to resolve highly ambiguous experience gaps, influencing Adyen’s strategic direction and ensuring global scalability is built into the foundation of our processes.
  • Architectural Triad Partnership: Partner deeply with Product and Technical Leads (GPMs/VP/Solution Lead) at the earliest stages of the lifecycle. You jointly articulate a compelling long-term strategic vision, ensuring that high-level solution architecture is balanced across user needs, technical feasibility, and business viability.
  • Eliminate Systemic Experience Debt: Proactively identify and resolve deep-seated gaps across the organization. You co-define and maintain the global PX Quality Bar, building the reusable infrastructure and foundational patterns (e.g., adaptive interfaces) that prevent fragmentation and accelerate delivery across the entire company.
  • Strategic Mentorship & Craft Leadership: Act as a visionary multiplier by upleveling the craft and decision-making of Senior PXers. You set the standard for professional discourse, involving peers early in strategic architecture to foster the next generation of talent without the need for traditional management overhead.
  • Design Knowledge-Sharing Ecosystems: Architect the forums and systems that allow the PX org to scale independently. You ensure critical context is documented and shared strategically, preventing organizational bottlenecks and ensuring clarity for geographically dispersed teams.
  • Champion Alignment & Complexity Reduction: Act as the connective tissue across solutions, advocating for high-quality standards and embodying PX principles to reduce complexity and dependencies across disparate teams.
  • Industry Innovation: Lead industry scanning to bring new PX methods, tools, and emergent technologies (specifically AI and LLMs) into Adyen, advancing our design framework and operational efficiency.

This is you

  • Advanced Experience: 8+ years of experience designing complex, large-scale systems or frameworks, with a proven track record of driving impact across multiple product streams or solution areas.
  • Strategic Partner: You are comfortable sitting at the table with senior business and technical stakeholders, translating complex user ecosystems and technical trade-offs into compelling, actionable narratives.
  • Systems Thinker at Scale: You don't just design journeys; you design the systems that govern those journeys. You excel at identifying how a change in one part of the financial suite impacts the global merchant experience.
  • Mentor by Influence: You have a passion for coaching senior level peers in strategic thinking and craft excellence. You lead through inspiration and architectural standards rather than hierarchy.
  • Thriving in Ambiguity: You are at your best when the problem is undefined. You take organizational challenges and turn them into clear, scalable frameworks that teams can execute against.
  • Mission-Driven Architect: You take personal responsibility for the success of Adyen’s company-wide initiatives, setting a high bar for quality and fostering a culture of proactive knowledge-stewardship.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
