• Driving a culture of using people data to inform and validate decision making
• Collaborating with a global, cross-functional team of subject-matter experts in HR (recruitment, compensation and benefits, learning and development, HR technology, and operations) to ensure we retain and grow our top talents
• Coaching leaders to get the best from their teams and challenge their thinking when relevant
• Acting as an ambassador for the Adyen Formula, guiding leaders to apply our core values in their day-to-day decisions
• Making things simpler rather than more complicated

Who you are

• You have at least 7 years of experience working with managers and leaders at all levels, in a people partnering role at a fast-paced company
• You have the ability and experience to develop world-class HR Business Partners 
• You can connect the dots with speed and spot opportunities looking forward

• You have the ability to analyze data on the bigger picture of the organization and act on the outcomes
• You’re well versed in international labor law, and know how to get answers for the things you don’t know
• You are comfortable with ambiguity and can pull relevant details out of complex situations to make sound decisions - and you know when to ask for help
