What is a Risk Analyst at Adyen?
At Adyen, a Risk Analyst—often specializing as an Associate CDD Risk Analyst—plays a vital role in enabling the safe, rapid growth of our global financial technology platform. Adyen processes billions of transactions for some of the world’s most influential merchants, including Meta, Uber, H&M, and Microsoft. Operating at this scale requires a sophisticated, proactive approach to managing financial crime, regulatory compliance, and operational risk. You will not simply be checking boxes; you will be making critical decisions that directly impact our merchant onboarding experience and our standing with global financial regulators.
This position sits at the intersection of compliance, commercial operations, and product development. As a Risk Analyst, you are responsible for executing Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures. You will analyze complex corporate structures, verify legal documentation, and assess potential risk profiles of merchants from around the globe. By maintaining a high level of integrity and applying a risk-based approach, you help protect Adyen from financial crime while ensuring our onboarding processes remain as frictionless and scalable as possible.
What makes this role uniquely exciting is Adyen's flat organizational structure and our emphasis on individual ownership. You will have direct communication with our merchants, acting as the primary point of contact for CDD-related matters. You will also collaborate with our commercial, compliance, and product teams to drive process improvements, automate workflows, and ensure global consistency. If you are naturally curious, comfortable with ambiguity, and motivated by solving complex operational puzzles, this role offers an unparalleled opportunity to build a career in fintech risk management.
