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.

Senior People Analyst

To accelerate Adyen's growth and fully realize our 2025 HR strategy, which focuses on cultivating a data-driven people culture, we're seeking a Senior People Analyst to join our team in Amsterdam. This is a unique opportunity to leverage your experience, creativity, and innovative mindset to meet the growing demand for high-value people analytics, empower self-service, and elevate our strategic partnerships. You'll play a pivotal role in shaping how Adyen understands its most valuable asset: its people.

What You'll Do

In this role, you will be instrumental in:

• Driving our People Data Culture: Significantly accelerate the implementation of our "Building a People Data Culture at Adyen" strategy, transforming how we use data to make people decisions.


• Delivering Impactful Insights: Proactively address the increasing demand for data-driven insights, turning complex people data into actionable recommendations.


• Optimizing HR Programs: Identify opportunities to enhance HR programs and policies through rigorous data analysis, ensuring they are effective and impactful.


• Building Strategic Partnerships: Strengthen collaborations with key stakeholders across the organization, helping them better understand and leverage People Analytics insights for their specific needs.


• Fostering a Learning Environment: Drive upskilling and cultivate a culture of continuous learning within the People team and across the wider organization regarding data literacy.


• Innovating with Data: Embrace an entrepreneurial approach, leading the development of innovative data applications and solutions that push the boundaries of People Analytics.

Who You Are

We're looking for a motivated and analytical individual with:

• 5+ years of Analytics experience: Ideally within People Analytics, but we are genuinely open to candidates with a strong analytical background from other domains and a demonstrated passion for transitioning into People Analytics.


• Comfort with Ambiguity & Fast-Paced Environments: You thrive in dynamic settings, can navigate uncertainty, and consistently deliver value.


• Strong Project Management Skills: You're adept at managing multiple projects simultaneously, prioritizing effectively, and driving them to completion.


• Exceptional Communication & Visualization: You can clearly articulate complex insights, build compelling dashboards, and present data in an engaging and understandable way to diverse audiences.


• Analytical Techniques & Tools: Experience with a broad range of analytical techniques is essential. While experience with WorkDay and SQL coding is preferred, it's not a strict requirement – we value your ability to learn and adapt.


• Challenger of the Status Quo: You're comfortable questioning existing practices, collaborating effectively with stakeholders from various disciplines, cultures, and seniority levels to drive positive change.


• Hands-on & Proactive: You have a strong desire to be "hands-on" and execute technical requirements, always looking for ways to improve and innovate.
