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. The opportunity:  We are seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead our Anti-Money Laundering (AML) detection product within Identity & Risk Intelligence. Financial crime keeps getting more complex, and as Adyen expands into new products and markets, our detection needs to scale with it - without becoming a bottleneck for growth. This role needs a Product Manager who can take a clear strategy and drive it to execution, make strong trade-offs, and build trust with Compliance and other senior stakeholders. You need a track record of building ML-driven products in a regulated environment. You'll lead a team of Data Scientists, Data Analysts and Backend Engineers, and work closely with Compliance, Operations and other product teams. What you'll do: Risk Detection & ML Modeling: Lead the build and scaling of Machine Learning models, rules and risk signals that detect financial crimes across Adyen's products, markets and customer base. Scalable, Self-Service Detection: Move financial crime detection toward a self-service framework that picks up new typologies quickly, using ML, GenAI and agentic approaches to reduce manual effort and keep pace with Adyen's growth without adding headcount. Strategy Execution & Prioritization: Own the execution of the financial crime detection strategy. Prioritize ruthlessly, make data-driven trade-offs, and stop or descope work when the evidence shows it is not worth pursuing. Compliance & Regulatory Partnership: Act as the main product partner for Compliance. Translate regulatory expectations into clear product boundaries, agree how the team delivers within them, and demonstrate continuous improvement to regulators. Performance & Effectiveness: Define how detection quality and efficiency are measured in a domain where the ground truth is often unknown, and continuously improve signal quality for our Investigations team. Cross-Functional Leadership: Lead a team of Data Scientists, Data Analysts and Backend Engineers alongside your engineering lead, and keep Compliance, Operations, and other risk teams aligned on the roadmap. Who you are: Experience: 8+ years of Product Management experience building ML-driven, high-scale products in fast-growing tech or fintech environments. 2+ years of experience in AML, fraud detection or financial crime. ML Product Expertise: Proven track record of owning and scaling ML-driven products such as detection, scoring or risk models. Comfortable going deep with Data Scientists on model performance, evaluation and trade-offs. Regulated Environment: Experience building products in highly regulated environments such as payments, banking or fintech, with a solid understanding of how regulation shapes product decisions. Stakeholder Management: Strong influence with senior and opinionated stakeholders, especially Compliance, Legal and Risk. Able to hold a position, explain the reasoning and keep their trust. Decision-Making: Clear, data-driven trade-offs and the confidence to say no. Comfortable owning outcomes without a single clean success metric. Ownership: Highly autonomous and accountable, able to take an agreed strategy and drive it through execution.   Diversity, Equity, and
