Product Manager, EMEA Payments We are looking for a Product Manager who will play a critical, high-impact role at the center of the organization, responsible for scaling a subset of the Adyen payments proposition in EMEA. EMEA is Adyen's largest region, contributing ~50% of total net revenue. Adyen supports over 100+ local payment methods across Europe alone. In this role, you’ll be responsible for enabling our merchants to win in the EMEA region, through locally relevant, scalable and seamless payment solutions. In this role you will be the voice of the customer, ensuring they can smoothly and dynamically offer the best payment methods for their markets. This role is highly collaborative and central, acting as an intersection point for multiple technical and commercial teams. The role requires operating effectively across the entire organization, dealing with cross-solution dependencies. What you'll do * Drive global scale: You’ll be joining a platform that processed €1.39 trillion in volume globally in 2025, with a significant portion stemming from EMEA merchants. You will be responsible for the health and growth of a core product(s) within our EMEA payments suite. * Define (sub)regional strategy: Own the vision and end-to-end roadmap for your product area. You will identify market-specific opportunities across EMEA - ranging from local payment method (LPM) optimizations to regulatory-driven innovations - and translate them into a strategy. * Bridge the technical & commercial: Work hand-in-hand with a technical team lead and engineers to build scalable payment infrastructure. You’ll provide the business context and clarity needed to turn complex technical challenges into seamless merchant experiences. * Master prioritization: Navigate a high-speed environment by balancing immediate merchant needs with long-term bets. You’ll make the tough calls on what to build next to ensure we are delivering maximum value to the EMEA market. * Collaborate across the ecosystem: Act as the central node between engineering, commercial, finance, operational and partnerships teams.  * Enable merchant success: Be the voice of the customer. You will collaborate closely with partners and internal stakeholders to identify friction points in the payment lifecycle and develop solutions that help our merchants win in every European market. * Lead cross-functional execution: Guide the team through the entire product lifecycle - from discovery and goal-setting to go-to-market and adoption - ensuring every launch is measurable and impactful. * Shape the industry: Don't just manage a product; actively contribute to the evolution of the payments landscape by identifying the next big shift in how European consumers pay. Who you are * Product Management: You bring 3+ years of experience in Product Management, deep understanding of EMEA products landscape ideally within the payments or fintech space. You excel at identifying critical merchant pain points and unlocking regional market opportunities - translating them into a clear, long-term strategy for our EMEA payments offering. You are a data-driven decision-maker, comfortable diving into complex datasets to validate hypotheses, measure product success, and inform your roadmap. You are skilled in prioritization, making high-stakes calls to ensure your team focuses on the products that drive the most value for our merchants. * Payment Passionate: You have a curiosity for how money moves and a passion for the diverse EMEA payment landscape. Beyond understanding transaction flows, you understand the shifting regulatory and industry dynamics - from the nuances of PSD3/PSR3 to the rise of Open Banking and the Digital Euro. You understand that for a merchant to win in EMEA, it’s not just about accepting cards; it’s about offering a mix of local payment methods, from iDEAL and Bancontact to Bizum and beyond, to meet customers exactly where they are. You don’t just want to follow these trends - you are excited to leverage Adyen’s position as a market leader to actively shape the future of the European payment industry.  * Commercial Mindset: You are a strategic partner to our sales- and account management teams. You possess the ability to look beyond the "what" to understand the "why" behind merchant needs and market shifts. You have experience with creating go-to-market strategies and driving product adoption, ensuring that our technical innovations are successfully positioned and commercially viable. * Technical Translator: You thrive in a high-growth tech environment and enjoy working closely with deeply technical engineering teams. You know how to provide the clarity needed to turn complex challenges into actionable roadmaps. You act as the bridge that ensures technical excellence translates directly into tangible impact for our merchants.
