About The Position
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. Management Consultant It is a common practice for Management Consultants to be designated according to a particular field of specialization and to be hired by companies requiring that expertise. Adyen N.V. has identified a need for a management consultant with business expertise to analyze, evaluate and provide recommendations on ways to improve our payments partnerships. The applicant will utilize both his demonstrated competence as a consultant and the depth of his background in strategic partnership frameworks with global card networks in this specific niche market area including, but not limited to, advising senior-level management on global card network partnerships, scalable, client-first growth, and Go-to-market collaboration. As Management Consultant, the applicant will be responsible for advising on our strategic partnership management program with global card networks—developing and defining proactive partnership strategies, advising on complex contract negotiations, and developing processes for aligning external partners with internal stakeholders to advance payments innovation. The Management Consultant role is supernumerary in nature and does not represent a permanent or ongoing staffing position within the company. The beneficiary is being engaged temporarily to provide independent, advisory consulting services in connection with specific business initiatives. The company maintains a fully staffed operational structure, and the beneficiary will not replace or displace any existing U.S. worker, nor assume a line management or operational role. Instead, the beneficiary will function outside the regular organizational hierarchy, providing strategic analysis, evaluations, and recommendations to support internal decision-making. The engagement is project-based and time-limited, focused on discrete consulting objectives, including the assessment of partnership strategies, financial performance considerations, and go-to-market planning. Upon completion of these objectives, the consulting engagement will conclude, and the role will no longer be required. The beneficiary will not have authority over day-to-day operations, personnel management, or implementation of recommendations. All final decisions and execution activities will remain with the company’s permanent employees.
