Head of Global Credit Risk

Adyen is seeking a Head of Global Credit Risk to lead and scale its high-performing credit risk operations team across Amsterdam, Singapore, and Chicago. In this pivotal global leadership role within the Operations function, the successful candidate will manage daily counterparty risk exposures across Adyen's acquiring business (chargeback risk) and its expanding suite of financial products, including capital lending and commercial charge cards. Responsibilities include presiding over the Merchant Risk Committee, overseeing the Merchant Potential Liability (MPL) framework, directing global collections, and bridging the gap between commercial ambition and prudent risk management. Although the second-line risk team defines the risk appetite and product teams build the models, the Head of Credit Risk will leverage operational and performance data to propose improvements and provide vital feedback on credit underwriting methodologies, credit models, and risk policies. The role requires a strong understanding of merchant lifecycles, bankruptcy risk, and financial product mechanics to manage credit risk effectively in a fast-growing, high-volume fintech environment.
