• Proactively optimize current processes and design scalable processes for the future.
• Act as a key collaborator and subject matter expert within Group Finance (Financial Controlling, Payroll, and Tax teams) as well as with stakeholders outside of Finance, taking ownership of communication regarding complex invoicing and payment matters.
• Initiate and execute process improvement and systems enhancement projects to drive strategic initiatives that help scale the organization.

Who you are

• You are detail-oriented, with a highly analytical and strategic mindset.
• You are a proven leader in automation and process improvement.
• Ability to lead and manage multiple projects simultaneously with strong prioritization skills.
• Highly proactive in projects, able to work independently and lead initiatives, but always collaborative and effective at escalating issues.
• Able to think multiple steps ahead. You are an experienced professional who can critically question the status quo and implement creative, scalable solutions to manage Adyen’s rapid growth.
• You have strong, influential communication skills.
