Operational Support Specialist

Operational Support is the first line support – the front line of Adyen’s US support organization. The team focuses primarily on franchisee merchants in the US, one of Adyen’s most important growth markets. We act as the first point of contact for merchant inquiries, ensuring swift, clear, and high-quality responses.
As a First Line Support Specialist, you’ll support our merchants by handling operational and administrative requests, guiding them through platform features, and ensuring smooth day-to-day support. More complex cases will be routed to specialized teams — but your role is critical in providing a fast and effective first response.
You’ll also be the voice of the customer inside Adyen, sharing feedback and insights that help us improve our products, processes, and merchant experience. To provide consistent support, this role includes weekend shifts as part of a rotating schedule.

Who You Are

• Strong communicator: clear, direct, and professional in English (spoken and written)
• Curious and eager to learn about financial products, payments, and operations
• Organized and able to handle multiple requests at once
• Problem-solver who enjoys helping customers
