This is Adyen
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.

About the role
As a Senior Project Manager in the Professional Services Excellence team, you turn our most important priorities into well-structured, well-run initiatives that improve how PS works, collaborates, and delivers. You bring clarity, ownership, and strong execution discipline to complex problems, helping PS move from intention to reality and making sure improvements land across regions and teams.
This is an execution and strategy role, not a coordination one. You shape direction as much as you drive it: pressure-testing which initiatives matter, framing the problem, and then owning delivery end to end. You connect strategy to action by creating structure where it is missing, driving alignment across stakeholders, and ensuring new ways of working are adopted, not just launched. This is also a founding role on a new team, so you will help shape how the function operates and where it focuses first, not step into a fixed playbook.
Your scope is global. You will work on efforts expected to impact the global team, collaborating with leaders and team members across regions and influencing stakeholders across time zones. Your impact will show up in strong execution on our strategic priorities, clearer processes that reduce friction, and more time for PS teams to focus on delivering value to customers.
What you’ll do
Drive execution and deliver meaningful change
Shape priorities and provide leverage to PS leadership

About the PS Excellence team
Purpose & mission
As Professional Services scales, the way we work needs to scale with us. Scaling brings more complexity, more teams, more stakeholders, and a higher bar for quality and consistency. Without the right structures in place, we end up reacting to change instead of shaping it, fixing the same problems repeatedly, and spending too much time on low leverage work instead of what we do best: delivering industry leading customer experiences at scale.
The PS Excellence team exists to solve these challenges at the root and build the capabilities PS needs to be successful at scale. Our mission is to build the systems, insights and capabilities that allow PS to deliver consistently, efficiently, and with confidence, as we grow. Results from a recent PS survey shows that 70% of the team spends fewer than 40% of their time on projects with customers. If we get this right, we expect to materially increase the time our teams can focus on high value customer interactions.
The PS Excellence team is fully part of Professional Services, sitting close to the team members delivering with customers every day. This ensures that the team is close to the every day interactions of our team, and able to understand and respond to customer and team delivery
