Commercial Lead - Agentic Commerce

Adyen • New York, NY

1d • $180,000 - $210,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Agentic Commerce is the most significant shift in digital payments since mobile. We are moving from a world where humans click "buy" to a world where AI agents negotiate, book, and transact on our behalf.

We are looking for a strategic commercial operator to help define and execute Adyen’s Go-to-Market strategy for this emerging channel. You will not just be selling a product, you will be building the playbook for how the world’s largest enterprises accept payments from AI agents.

This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of Commercial Strategy, Product, and Account Management. You will work directly with the Head of Strategic Growth, Head of Strategic Customer Growth & Advocacy, and the Head of Agentic Commerce to take our "Universal Translator" strategy to the market.

Requirements

• A Strategic Builder: You are comfortable working with ambiguity. You don't need a finished brochure to have a commercial conversation; you can co-create a solution with a client.
• Commercially Sharp: You have a track record of navigating complex enterprise organizations and driving strategic initiatives that result in real volume, not just press releases.
• Technically Fluent: You can explain the difference between a Network Token and a Virtual Card to a CFO, and debate API schemas with a Product Manager. You understand the nuances of the payments stack.
• Curious about AI infrastructure: You are not an ML engineer, but you follow how agentic systems are evolving - agentic frameworks, how AI agents make decisions and initiate transactions. Familiarity with emerging agent protocols and how model providers are approaching commerce is a plus.
• Anti-Hype: You cut through the noise. You focus on solving real operational problems (inventory visibility, authentication, liability) rather than selling science fiction.
• Collaborative: You thrive in a flat structure. You will be working closely across Commercial, Product, Legal, and Partnerships teams to clear hurdles, resolve challenges in real-time.
• Experience: 6-8 years of experience in commercial-facing or GTM strategy roles. Previous experience in payments or financial technology is a plus

Responsibilities

• Define the Playbook: You will take our Agentic Commerce offering from "Pilot" to "Scale." This means identifying the right first-mover merchants, structuring the commercial approach, and creating the feedback loop between the market and our Product team.
• Consult, Don’t Just Sell: You will act as a trusted advisor to C-level stakeholders at our largest merchants, helping them navigate the hype, understand the infrastructure risks (fraud, identity), and architect their data feeds for the agentic economy.
• Orchestrate the Ecosystem: You will be the commercial bridge between our merchants and the major AI platforms (OpenAI, Google, etc.), ensuring Adyen remains the neutral connector in a fragmented ecosystem.
• Enable the Organization: You will turn your learnings into a GTM engine, collaborating with marketing to train our wider Sales and Account Management teams to speak fluently about tokens, LLMs, and agentic protocols.
• Protect the Merchant: You will champion our "Merchant-First" principles, ensuring that as protocols evolve, they prioritize merchant control, data privacy, and liability protection.
• The Innovation Lab: You will be operating in the epicenter of the AI boom. Your focus will be on securing and managing high-velocity pilots with US-based AI platforms (San Francisco/Seattle/New York).
• Speed to Market: You will help our largest US enterprise merchants (Retail, Mobility, Platforms) launch their first "Instant Checkout" use cases, moving quickly to capture early market share.
