Senior Product Manager, Split Payments 

Adyen is a truly global company that processes billions in payments annually. Adyen’s value goes beyond Ecommerce and In-Person payments with a broad offering of embedded payments and financial services like issuing, bank accounts and capital; facilitated by Adyen’s global Banking licenses. Behind every platform transaction is a critical need to dynamically automate fund distribution, enabling platforms to scale their monetization models, protect their margins, and manage commissions smoothly. We are looking for a Senior Product Manager to lead and scale our Split Payments capabilities.  

You will join the team responsible for Split Payments. This role sits at the intersection of core payment processing, financial data routing, and platform scalability. Split Payments allows our Platform customers to monetize payment processing towards their sub-merchants. You will lead the product lifecycle for split logic across authorization, capture, refunds, and chargebacks, building reliable systems that support Adyen's expanding platform ecosystem.

You will work closely with Payments, Accounting, Compliance, Legal, Commercial and Operational teams, and customers to understand their needs and translate them into product enhancements together with the development team.

Subject Matter Expertise: Serve as a subject matter expert on payment lifecycle variations, clearing/settlement flows, and Adyen's overarching Adyen for platform's product.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Engineering, Support, Sales, and Implementation teams to align our core capabilities with evolving platform business models.

Enhance Automated Engine: Design and scale rule-driven logic to handle automated commission calculations and fee distributions across various payment lifecycle stages.

Optimize System Performance: Collaborate with engineering to maximize the performance, reliability, and scalability of our out-of-flow split generation infrastructure.

Evolve Self-Service Tooling: Contribute to customer-facing automated splits tooling in the Customer Area to help platforms easily configure, version, and manage their monetization strategies.

Engage with Platforms: Interact directly with platforms to understand their pain points in split payments, gather feedback on dashboards, and translate their needs into core product requirements.

End-to-End Ownership: Take full ownership of specific initiatives from initial scoping through final delivery, seamlessly managing timelines and stakeholder expectations.

Who you are

You are customer centric and build for the benefit of all customers.

Strategic Thinker with a Hands-on Mentality: A self-starter with proven organizational and commercial strength. You possess excellent project management skills and the ability to lead time-sensitive, cross-functional initiatives (commercial, operational, and technical) in a fast-paced environment with little supervision. You are able to challenge status quo.

Analytical Problem Solver: You are naturally curious, data-driven, and comfortable navigating ambiguity. You excel at taking complex challenges and converting them into structured, actionable solutions for both internal and external stakeholders.

Humble, Curious, and a Quick Learner: You possess a strong sense of initiative and self-motivation. You are eager to dive deep into complex payment flows, financial data, and technical constraints to proactively identify problems and propose long-term solutions.

Natural Communicator & Team Player: You have high energy and solid interpersonal skills, making you comfortable driving both deep technical discussions with engineers and strategic commercial/operational alignments with enterprise merchants across varying cultures.

Platform & Merchant Enabler: You can easily look at short- and long-term planning to make smart decisions on prioritization and delegation. At the same time, you maintain a hands-on mentality, capable of setting a clear path for platform merchants setups
