This is Adyen

　　Adyen provides payments, data, and financial products in a single solution for customers like Facebook, 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.

　　Strategy Manager, Retail - Unified Commerce

　　As Adyen continues to expand and deepen its product suite, we are looking for committed, strategic team members to drive global strategy amongst Unified Commerce Retail customers. Our Unified Commerce pillar separates our merchant base into several verticals: Retail, Food & Beverage, Hospitality & Entertainment, and Everyday Retail (e.g. grocery). You would be joining the Retail Vertical team which consists of merchants like Nike, H&M, LVMH, and Dick’s Sporting Goods. A merchant is considered Unified Commerce if it has a component of in-person payments in their business. 

　　The Unified Commerce pillar is growing 67% YoY and the Retail vertical represents a large portion of that business; however, Adyen’s success in the US is still very much untapped. With you based in the US, a large portion of your time will be spent helping to set the strategy of how to win within this market. The rest of your time will focus on other global strategic projects that align with the vision of how to grow Retail at Adyen.

　　In this role, you will work in partnership with global product, partnerships, commercial, and marketing teams to see through the Retail vertical strategy. The rest of the Retail Vertical team members sit in Adyen’s HQ office in Amsterdam, but there are several Unified Commerce team members based in New York as well as many commercial stakeholders.
