About the team and role

Adyen’s Payment & Product Partnerships Counsel team is newly chartered within the Regulatory organization to build and scale the legal framework for our most critical financial and technology infrastructure relationships. We are looking for a skilled, business-oriented financial services transactions lawyer to join our team in Singapore, focusing on partnerships in the APAC region. In this role, you will be a principal advisor to our partnerships, product, risk, and compliance teams, responsible for a broad range of transactions and relationships that span financial services ecosystems, business operations and processes, and technology.

Adyen’s Regulatory and Legal teams build and operate at the intersection of global financial services law and regulation, commercial strategy, and product innovation. We’re looking for a lawyer who’s at home leading deals to support highly regulated, complex products, and who’s willing to roll up their sleeves and take on projects large and small. Experience with financial services transactions and a working understanding of market-dominant financial services regulatory models are a must; experience in payments, lending, and fintech are a plus, but not required.

What you’ll do

• Partner with Adyen’s payment and product partnerships teams to help build, manage, and grow strategic relationships with card networks, payment methods, financial institutions, and other financial and technology partners that support Adyen’s product and technical stack.
• Structure, draft, and negotiate strategic infrastructure partnership agreements to enable and optimize Adyen’s payments and financial products across our Asia-Pacific markets.
• Collaborate with product, regulatory, compliance, risk, finance, partnerships, and other cross-functional teams to ensure our partner deals conform to our regulatory positions and support our product development, market expansion, and commercial objectives.
• Counsel stakeholders across the business on operation and interpretation of partner agreements (including scheme, network, and operating rules), partner and regulatory ecosystem interdependencies, and corresponding risks and opportunities affecting Adyen’s product and go-to-market strategies.
• Scale our deal cycles and the products they support by generating and maintaining documents and other resources for working with partners, including form agreements, position guides, and implementation briefs.
• Stay current on laws, regulations, and scheme and network rules governing bank-partner relationships, third-party service providers and outsourcing, privacy, data security, consumer protection in financial services, and marketing.
• Build relationships as a trusted advisor by providing clear, practical, actionable guidance in areas involving significant ambiguity or rapid industry evolution.

What we’re looking for

• 8+ years experience as a qualified lawyer across in-house and law firm roles, with a significant portion spent working with financial institutions or technology companies on transactions opposite experienced counsel.
• Working dexterity with financial services partnership transactions, where a regulated financial institution and another party (e.g., a network, a fintech, another financial institution) collaborate to stand up and run a unified financial product or service, preferably a payment, credit, or lending product.
• A capable contract generalist who’s able to spot a broad range of legal issues across disciplines (e.g., contract, regulatory, IP, privacy); an avid drafter with a passion for simple, elegant language and an aversion to gratuitous legalese; and, a seasoned lead negotiator who is able to identify and communicate practical, risk-based solutions to deal points persuasively and on the fly.
• Excellent English-language communication skills, with the capacity to translate complex legal and contractual concepts to technical teams and other non-lawyer audiences.
• Constitutional curiosity and enthusiasm to self-educate quickly on complex business models, technologies, and product use cases.
• Strong, risk-tuned judgment, outstanding project management skills, and the ability to juggle competing priorities under tight deadlines.
• Proficiency in Japanese and/or Mandarin Chinese is a strong plus but not required.

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.

The role Adyen is evolving from a global payments leader into a full-stack financial technology platform. Unlike many fintechs that rely on partner-bank models, Adyen operates with its own federal banking presence in the United States. As we expand our suite of embedded financial products—including business accounts, card issuing, and lending—we require a sophisticated regulatory strategy that aligns with federal standards.

We are looking for a Team Lead to build and head our newly established Product Advisory team for North America. This team is the bridge between rigorous bank oversight and scalable product innovation. You will be the primary strategist for ensuring our financial products are built to the highest standards and for guiding those products through the OCC supervision process. This is a rare opportunity to lead a team at the intersection of "Big Tech" product speed and "Tier 1" banking rigor.

What you’ll do

• Build & Lead: Establish the vision for the NA Product Advisory function, hiring and mentoring a team of specialists dedicated to supporting Adyen’s expansion as a federally overseen financial institution.
• Federal Banking Strategy: Act as the primary advisor for the U.S. and Canadian product roadmap, ensuring all launches comply with banking laws and the expectations of the relevant regulators.
• Compliance by Design: Partner with Product Managers and Engineers to architect features that meet federal standards—including UDAP,  Reg B, and Reg CC—ensuring that compliance is a competitive advantage rather than a friction point.
• Supervisory Liaison: Work closely with the Regulatory team and local stakeholders to manage the "Product" pillar of regulatory examinations, translating complex technical logic into clear documentation.
• Strategic Horizon Scanning: Monitor and interpret federal regulatory shifts, including updates to the Dodd-Frank Act, OCC guidance, and evolving standards for artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and open banking (Section 1033).
• Advisory & Governance: Provide executive-level briefings on the regulatory implications of new product features, balancing commercial ambition with the safety and soundness requirements of a federally supervised entity.

Who you are

• Experience: 8+ years of experience in regulatory legal, federal banking compliance, or product advisory. You have a deep background working within a federally chartered bank or a sophisticated fintech operating under direct federal oversight.
• Strategic Problem Solver: You apply a first-principles approach to regulation. You don’t just cite rules; you understand the intent behind federal oversight and find creative, compliant paths to achieve product goals.
• Collaborative Leader: You have a proven ability to collaborate with and influence cross-functional stakeholders—from engineers to executive leadership—in a fast-paced environment.
• Communication: You can translate dense legal and compliance jargon into clear, actionable technical requirements and high-level strategic advice.
• Technical Expertise: You have a command of U.S. federal banking laws and the OCC’s supervisory framework. You understand what it means to build products within a licensed federal branch or bank environment.
• Mindset: You are comfortable with the "Adyen Formula"—you prefer speed over bureaucracy and are excited by the challenge of building a new advisory function from the ground up.

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.

The role Adyen’s growth in North America is anchored by our commitment to maintaining a robust and transparent relationship with our regulators. In the US, we operate with a federal banking presence under the primary oversight of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). In Canada, we continue to scale our footprint as a registered entity, navigating an evolving landscape of retail payment and financial service regulations.

We are looking for a Team Lead to lead the Regulatory Licensing and Affairs group for North America. As a senior legal and regulatory leader, you will be the critical link between Adyen’s ambitious regional strategy and our federal regulators in both the US and Canada. You will manage our federal banking presence, oversee the examination lifecycle, and ensure we remain a high-trust partner to the OCC and Canadian authorities like FINTRAC and the Bank of Canada.

What you’ll do

• Lead & Manage the Function: Actively lead and mentor a high-performing group of lawyers and regulatory professionals. You will be responsible for the professional development of the team, fostering a culture of excellence, and ensuring the team is structured to support Adyen's rapid growth.
• Primary Federal Liaison: Act as the lead point of contact for the OCC. You will manage the end-to-end lifecycle of federal examinations, from pre-exam preparation to responding to Supervisory Letters or Matters Requiring Attention (MRAs).
• North American Licensing Portfolio: Oversee the maintenance of our US federal branch license and manage Canadian licensing and registration requirements. You will lead the strategy for any new license applications or regulatory approvals required as Adyen expands.
• Global Strategic Integration: Serve as a key bridge to our global regulatory headquarters in Amsterdam, integrating North American supervisory insights into Adyen’s global regulatory framework and influencing our firm-wide approach to regulatory management.
• Supervisory Management: Ensure all regulatory inquiries, periodic reporting, and document requests are handled with precision. You will prep senior leadership for OCC "continuous supervision" meetings and ensure a unified "Adyen voice" in all external affairs.
• Canadian Regulatory Affairs: Manage our relationship with Canadian regulators, ensuring we stay ahead of requirements under the Retail Payment Activities Act (RPAA) and maintaining our standing as a registered Money Services Business.
• Corrective Action Oversight: Monitor and track the progress of any regulatory commitments or remediation efforts, ensuring they are integrated into the business and closed out on time to meet federal expectations.

Who you are

• Experience & Education: J.D. degree and active membership in at least one U.S. state bar. You have 10+ years of experience in regulatory legal affairs, licensing, or bank supervision.
• People Leadership: You are an experienced manager with a proven track record of leading and developing high-performing legal and regulatory teams in a fast-paced environment.
• Federal Expertise: You have a profound understanding of the OCC’s Comptroller’s Handbook and "Safety and Soundness" standards. You are also familiar with the Canadian AML/ATF framework and emerging retail payment oversight.
• Diplomacy & Advocacy: You are a skilled diplomat. You know how to build high-trust relationships with federal examiners while effectively advocating for Adyen’s technical and commercial model.
• Global Mindset: You are excited to work in a highly international environment, collaborating with global counterparts to ensure North American regulatory standards are reflected in Adyen’s worldwide operational strategy.
• Communication: You can distill complex supervisory feedback and legal requirements into clear, actionable guidance for internal stakeholders, ranging from the global Second Line, to engineers, to the Management Board in Amsterdam.

About the team and role

Adyen’s Payment & Product Partnerships Counsel team is newly chartered within the Regulatory organization to build and scale the legal framework for our most critical financial and technology infrastructure relationships. We are looking for a skilled, business-oriented financial services transactions lawyer to join our team in Amsterdam or London, focusing on partnerships in the EMEA region. In this role, you will be a principal advisor to our partnerships, product, risk, and compliance teams, responsible for a broad range of transactions and relationships that span financial services ecosystems, business operations and processes, and technology.

Adyen’s Regulatory and Legal teams build and operate at the intersection of global financial services law and regulation, commercial strategy, and product innovation. We’re looking for a lawyer who’s at home leading deals to support highly regulated, complex products, and who’s willing to roll up their sleeves and take on projects large and small. Experience with financial services transactions and a working understanding of market-dominant financial services regulatory models are a must; experience in payments, lending, and fintech are a plus, but not required.

What you’ll do

• Partner with Adyen’s payment and product partnerships teams to help build, manage, and grow strategic relationships with card networks, payment methods, financial institutions, and other financial and technology partners that support Adyen’s product and technical stack.
• Structure, draft, and negotiate strategic infrastructure partnership agreements to enable and optimize Adyen’s payments and financial products across our Europe and Middle East markets.
• Collaborate with product, regulatory, compliance, risk, finance, partnerships, and other cross-functional teams to ensure our partner deals conform to our regulatory positions and support our product development, market expansion, and commercial objectives.
• Counsel stakeholders across the business on operation and interpretation of partner agreements (including scheme, network, and operating rules), partner and regulatory ecosystem interdependencies, and corresponding risks and opportunities affecting Adyen’s product and go-to-market strategies.
• Scale our deal cycles and the products they support by generating and maintaining documents and other resources for working with partners, including form agreements, position guides, and implementation briefs.
• Stay current on laws, regulations, and scheme and network rules governing bank-partner relationships, third-party service providers and outsourcing, privacy, data security, consumer protection in financial services, and marketing.
• Build relationships as a trusted advisor by providing clear, practical, actionable guidance in areas involving significant ambiguity or rapid industry evolution.

What we’re looking for

• 8+ years experience as a qualified lawyer across in-house and law firm roles, with a significant portion spent working with financial institutions or technology companies on transactions opposite experienced counsel.
• Working dexterity with financial services partnership transactions, where a regulated financial institution and another party (e.g., a network, a fintech, another financial institution) collaborate to stand up and run a unified financial product or service, preferably a payment, credit, or lending product.
• A capable contract generalist who’s able to spot a broad range of legal issues across disciplines (e.g., contract, regulatory, IP, privacy); an avid drafter with a passion for simple, elegant language and an aversion to gratuitous legalese; and, a seasoned lead negotiator who is able to identify and communicate practical, risk-based solutions to deal points persuasively and on the fly.
• Excellent English-language communication skills, with the capacity to translate complex legal and contractual concepts to technical teams and other non-lawyer audiences.
• Constitutional curiosity and enthusiasm to self-educate quickly on complex business models, technologies, and product use cases.
• Strong, risk-tuned judgment, outstanding project management skills, and the ability to juggle competing priorities under tight deadlines.
• Proficiency in Spanish or Portuguese is a strong plus but not required.

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.

The role Adyen is evolving from a global payments leader into a full-stack financial technology platform. Unlike many fintechs that rely on partner-bank models, Adyen operates with its own federal banking presence in the United States. As we expand our suite of embedded financial products—including business accounts, card issuing, and lending—we require a sophisticated regulatory strategy that aligns with federal standards.

We are looking for a Team Lead to build and head our newly established Product Advisory team for North America. This team is the bridge between rigorous bank oversight and scalable product innovation. You will be the primary strategist for ensuring our financial products are built to the highest standards and for guiding those products through the OCC supervision process. This is a rare opportunity to lead a team at the intersection of "Big Tech" product speed and "Tier 1" banking rigor.

What you’ll do

• Build & Lead: Establish the vision for the NA Product Advisory function, hiring and mentoring a team of specialists dedicated to supporting Adyen’s expansion as a federally overseen financial institution.
• Federal Banking Strategy: Act as the primary advisor for the U.S. and Canadian product roadmap, ensuring all launches comply with banking laws and the expectations of the relevant regulators.
• Compliance by Design: Partner with Product Managers and Engineers to architect features that meet federal standards—including UDAP,  Reg B, and Reg CC—ensuring that compliance is a competitive advantage rather than a friction point.
• Supervisory Liaison: Work closely with the Regulatory team and local stakeholders to manage the "Product" pillar of regulatory examinations, translating complex technical logic into clear documentation.
• Strategic Horizon Scanning: Monitor and interpret federal regulatory shifts, including updates to the Dodd-Frank Act, OCC guidance, and evolving standards for artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and open banking (Section 1033).
• Advisory & Governance: Provide executive-level briefings on the regulatory implications of new product features, balancing commercial ambition with the safety and soundness requirements of a federally supervised entity.

Who you are

• Experience: 8+ years of experience in regulatory legal, federal banking compliance, or product advisory. You have a deep background working within a federally chartered bank or a sophisticated fintech operating under direct federal oversight.
• Strategic Problem Solver: You apply a first-principles approach to regulation. You don’t just cite rules; you understand the intent behind federal oversight and find creative, compliant paths to achieve product goals.
• Collaborative Leader: You have a proven ability to collaborate with and influence cross-functional stakeholders—from engineers to executive leadership—in a fast-paced environment.
• Communication: You can translate dense legal and compliance jargon into clear, actionable technical requirements and high-level strategic advice.
• Technical Expertise: You have a command of U.S. federal banking laws and the OCC’s supervisory framework. You understand what it means to build products within a licensed federal branch or bank environment.
• Mindset: You are comfortable with the "Adyen Formula"—you prefer speed over bureaucracy and are excited by the challenge of building a new advisory function from the ground up.

The annual base salary range for this role is $160,000 - $300,000 in New York and San Francisco. The annual base salary range in Chicago is $160,000 - 230,000; to learn more about our compensation philosophy, please click here.
