The technical landscape within Adyen’s Support organization is complex and ever-changing. With over 200 Support Engineers across 10+ global regions, our teams operate within diverse and evolving technical, cultural, and operational environments.

In this role, you’ll become the subject matter expert on Support’s internal tooling, taking ownership of large-scale, cross-functional initiatives that drive automation, AI adoption, and continuous system improvement. You’ll serve as the key point of contact for all Support tooling—working closely with stakeholders across product, engineering, and operations to ensure tools are aligned with business needs, technically sound, and effectively adopted by our global team. From gathering product requirements to guiding tech roadmap planning, mitigating risks, and supporting vendor relationships, your work will be essential in ensuring every Support Engineer has the tools they need to operate efficiently and deliver excellent merchant experiences at scale.

• Lead User Acceptance Testing to ensure that new tools and enhancements are fit for purpose and function as intended.
• Communicate developments, updates, project health, and problems to stakeholders, including senior leadership.
• Support seamless change management for each infrastructure/system change affecting the Support team – ensuring no detail is left out and all impacts are accounted for.
• Identify workflows and processes that are holding us back from fully leveraging our tech stack, guiding and influencing stakeholders to adopt new ways of working.
• Lead technology vendor selection and renewal processes, curating a best-in-class suite of third-party partners.
