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.

We're looking for an experienced and motivated leader to join our London office as the Manager Enterprise Account Management UK. The UK is a cornerstone market for Adyen, home to some of the world's most sophisticated Enterprise Merchants. In this newly created role, you will sit directly between our Team Leads and the Head of Account Management, serving as a critical leader responsible for driving the execution, operational health, and strategic direction of our dedicated Enterprise Account Management sub-teams.

As a second-level manager, you will oversee a team of Team Leads (and, where applicable, Senior Account Managers). You thrive on translating high-level market visions into concrete, actionable milestones, driving mid-term portfolio growth, and coaching people managers into true organizational leaders. Your mission is to ensure our enterprise merchants-from global retail giants to digital disruptors-receive localized, vertical-specific expertise to unlock their full potential on Adyen's platform.

What You'll Do

• Deliver Commercial Goals: Deliver 12-18 month commercial targets and growth for the Enterprise portfolio. Establish goals and accurate forecasting, identifying UK best practices to scale across EMEA.
• Scale Leaders: Upskill Team Leads and Senior DAMs into strategic people leaders. Provide specialized vertical advice on complex merchant strategies and manage the sub-team's span of control to maintain efficiency.
• Relationship Excellence: Build trust with high-value enterprise contacts and act as the escalation point before the Head of AM. Mentor teams to uncover commercial opportunities and guide high-stakes renegotiations.
• Optimize Performance: Lead initiatives to streamline workflows and drive "Account Management at scale". Prioritize initiatives to protect bandwidth and build a cohesive view of segment health.
• Embody Adyen Formula: Exemplify and coach teams on the Adyen Formula Leadership Expectations. Act as a culture carrier to foster cross-functional collaboration with Sales, Product, Tech, and Marketing.

Who You Are

• A Leader of Leaders: Proven experience acting as a second-level manager, with a passion for guiding, mentoring, and upskilling people managers into high-performing commercial leaders.
• A Dedicated Enterprise Expert: Deep, specialized payments industry knowledge with a clear understanding of the specific operational challenges, technical frameworks, and nuances that impact large Enterprise merchants.
• Commercially Sharp & Analytical: Possess a pristine track record of defining mid-term pipeline goals, managing high-stakes client negotiations, and connecting complex commercial data points into a single cohesive strategy.
• An Astute Decision Maker: Display exceptional situational judgment, with the ability to comfortably navigate difficult internal trade-offs, confidently communicate vertical decisions, and make the correct mid-term operational calls for portfolio health.
• A Cross-Functional Advocate: A strong internal communicator who can navigate complex environments both internally and externally, remove regional roadblocks using past experience, and advocate fiercely for the vertical team structure.
