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.
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.
As a CDD Risk Analyst, you will be focused on Event Driven Reviews (EDRs) , playing a critical frontline role in Adyen’s Global Merchant Operations Department. Unlike periodic scheduled reviews, Event-Driven Reviews are triggered dynamically by material changes in merchant risk profiles, transaction and chargeback anomalies, adverse media, regulatory alerts, corporate restructurings, or potential integrity escalations across our acquiring, issuing, and banking products. You will execute deep-dive investigative reviews into heightened risk events, evaluating whether merchant activity remains in line with Adyen’s Risk Appetite. Working closely with AML, Fraud, Sanctions, Payment Risk, Credit Risk, Product, and Commercial teams, you will safeguard the platform while ensuring minimal operational friction for legitimate business growth.
Total rewards & compensation
The annual base salary range for this role is $85,000 - $110,000. Compensation is based on factors including qualifications, experience, and location. Total compensation package includes equity (RSUs), 401(k), health, dental, vision, and more.
In-office expectations
This role is based in our Chicago office. We're an office-first company and expect employees to work in-office at least 3 days a week on average. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while also supporting flexibility.
