AML Compliance Officer

This is Adyen

Adyen provides payments, data, and financial products in a single solution for customers like Meta, Uber, H&M, and Microsoft - making us the financial technology platform of choice. At Adyen, everything we do is engineered for ambition. 

For our teams, we create an environment with opportunities for our people to succeed, backed by the culture and support to ensure they are enabled to truly own their careers. We are motivated individuals who tackle unique technical challenges at scale and solve them as a team. Together, we deliver innovative and ethical solutions that help businesses achieve their ambitions faster.

AML/CFT Compliance Expertise

A key part of building our business is ensuring we do it ethically and sustainably. In order to do so, Adyen needs to understand and monitor at all times what happens on our platform and whether this is in line with regulations and our risk appetite. And that in a scalable and adaptive way.

To achieve this, we are looking for an AML Compliance Expert to join our AML Compliance Department based in Amsterdam and covering our global business. Do you want to be at the forefront of the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing and join a passionate team of AML Compliance experts? And are you somebody who enjoys the challenge of navigating AML Compliance matters in a growing and dynamic business? Then, this is the role for you!

What you’ll do

• Join a team of AML Compliance experts who design, execute and monitor AML Compliance processes. In scope of this team are AML expert advice on client onboarding and review, sanctions, AML referrals from internal and external stakeholders, design of risk based AML controls for new product and client setups as well as AML process design and training.
• Analyze regulatory changes, new regulations, and internal policy changes and translate this in risk assessments and procedures. Subsequently, you will work together with internal departments to bring the necessary measures in place.
• Though operational work on the most individual merchants or setups is part of the scope, the role will require the expert to work on more holistic AML risk assessments of merchant groups, products and industries.
• Challenge the status quo continuously, finding AML Compliance solutions for new products, setups and processes.
• Engage with key stakeholders in and outside of the Compliance teams, and work cooperatively to design, develop and implement enhancements.

Who you are

• A minimum of (3 years +) of relevant experience in AML Compliance, preferrably not (only) in AML operations, but also in expertise driven roles.
• Strong knowledge of AML/CFT laws and regulations and intrinsic motivation to follow trends and developments in the AML domain.
• Exceptional analytical, independent thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to adapt to a very dynamic environment and handle multiple priorities at the same time.
• Experience in the financial sector is a must. Experience with payments is a plus.
• Strong communication skills, excellent verbal and written English.

Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion commitments 

Our unique approach is a product of our diverse perspectives. This diversity of backgrounds and cultures is essential in helping us maintain our momentum. Our business and technical challenges are unique, and we need as many different voices as possible to join us in solving them - voices like yours. No matter who you are or where you’re from, we welcome you to be your true self at Adyen. 

Studies show that women and members of underrepresented communities apply for jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. Does this sound like you? If so, Adyen encourages you to reconsider and apply. We look forward to your application!
