Management Consultant

It is a common practice for Management Consultants to be designated according to a particular field of specialization and to be hired by companies requiring that expertise. Adyen N.V. has identified a need for a management consultant with business expertise to analyze, evaluate and provide recommendations on ways to improve our payments partnerships. The applicant will utilize both his demonstrated competence as a consultant and the depth of his background in strategic partnership frameworks with global card networks in this specific niche market area including, but not limited to, advising senior-level management on global card network partnerships, scalable, client-first growth, and Go-to-market collaboration. 

As Management Consultant, the applicant will be responsible for advising on our strategic partnership management program with global card networks—developing and defining proactive partnership strategies, advising on complex contract negotiations, and developing processes for aligning external partners with internal stakeholders to advance payments innovation.

More specifically, the applicant will be responsible for the following duties:
  • Analyze and advise on strategic partnership frameworks with global card networks by evaluating market positioning, partnership structures, and industry trends within the payments ecosystem.
  • Develop and present strategic recommendations regarding partner engagement models, contractual approaches, and long-term collaboration strategies to support innovation initiatives.
  • Provide consultative support for complex commercial negotiations by preparing analytical assessments, financial impact summaries, and strategic alignment evaluations for internal decision-makers.
  • Conduct financial analyses for proposed initiatives, assessing commercial scalability, cost-benefit considerations, and revenue implications to guide executive-level strategy.
  • Evaluate tradeoffs between commercial opportunities and product constraints and deliver independent, data-driven recommendations to support informed business decisions.
  • Advise product, commercial, and finance teams on go-to-market strategies, supported by market research, competitive benchmarking, and trend analysis.
  • Provide industry and market insight reports to inform product development and commercialization strategies without direct responsibility for implementation or operational management.
  • Prepare written analyses, strategic reports, and executive presentations summarizing findings and recommendations for senior leadership review.
 
The Management Consultant role is supernumerary in nature and does not represent a permanent or ongoing staffing position within the company. The beneficiary is being engaged temporarily to provide independent, advisory consulting services in connection with specific business initiatives.

The company maintains a fully staffed operational structure, and the beneficiary will not replace or displace any existing U.S. worker, nor assume a line management or operational role. Instead, the beneficiary will function outside the regular organizational hierarchy, providing strategic analysis, evaluations, and recommendations to support internal decision-making.

The engagement is project-based and time-limited, focused on discrete consulting objectives, including the assessment of partnership strategies, financial performance considerations, and go-to-market planning. Upon completion of these objectives, the consulting engagement will conclude, and the role will no longer be required.

The beneficiary will not have authority over day-to-day operations, personnel management, or implementation of recommendations. All final decisions and execution activities will remain with the company’s permanent employees.

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.
