We are looking for a driven and enthusiastic Corporate Counsel to join the Dispute Resolution pillar of our global Corporate Legal team. You will take ownership of Adyen’s disputes, advising internal stakeholders on legal risk and guiding matters towards resolution.
This is a hands-on role that is important to protect Adyen’s commercial interests, reputation, and continued sustainable growth. It requires someone who collaborates effectively across functions and excels at decision-making in a fast-moving, complex environment. Sound judgment and the ability to balance legal risk against commercial reality are imperative to success. You will manage disputes end-to-end, collaborate with internal stakeholders, and oversee external counsel to drive effective resolutions.
The role forms part of Adyen’s Corporate Legal team, which covers corporate governance, corporate development, and dispute resolution.

• Instruct, oversee, and manage external counsel, keeping matters on strategy, on budget, and moving towards resolution.
• Partner with teams across the business to resolve disputes and remove friction before it escalates.
• Once a matter concludes, work with the business to close out risk areas and feed lessons learned back into how Adyen contracts and operates.
• Apply AI actively in your work, using Adyen's tools to sharpen and scale how the Dispute Resolution pillar operates.
• Support the broader Corporate Legal team on projects and initiatives spanning corporate governance, corporate development, and cross-functional priorities.
• Stay abreast of global legal developments relevant to Adyen, proactively identifying risk and advising the business on how to mitigate it.
