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. About the team The Global DPO Office is expanding its presence across regions, with team members currently based in Amsterdam and New York and plans to grow in APAC. We own Adyen’s global privacy program and AI governance, and support incident response and data governance across the business. This means working across teams and regions to turn privacy and data protection requirements into practical ways of working, while helping Adyen respond effectively when issues arise and navigate new challenges around AI and data. The work is varied, high-impact, and often complex. We work closely with colleagues across Adyen to solve problems that don’t always have straightforward answers, balancing regulatory requirements with the needs of a fast-growing, global business. We give people the space to take ownership, develop their expertise, and shape how we approach new and evolving challenges together. The Role We are looking for a driven and enthusiastic Senior Privacy Counsel to join our Global DPO Office in Singapore and drive our privacy work across the APAC region. Working closely with your colleagues in Amsterdam and New York, you will extend and strengthen our global privacy framework across the diverse and fast-evolving regulatory landscape of the Asia-Pacific region, enabling Adyen to grow in some of our most important commercial markets while making responsible choices. This is a builder role. Winning in APAC is one of Adyen's top commercial priorities, and you will be central to it - establishing a scalable regional privacy baseline, advising on complex local data processing and localization requirements, and partnering closely with regional product, engineering, commercial, and second-line teams. You must combine strong analytical and communication skills with pragmatic, strategic thinking as you advise internal and external stakeholders, including, at times, local regulators. What You Will Do • Act as the senior privacy advisor for Adyen's APAC operations, providing pragmatic, business-aligned guidance to regional product, engineering, commercial, HR, and corporate teams. • Adapt and extend Adyen's global privacy framework, standards, and policies to meet regional requirements, establishing a consistent and scalable privacy baseline across APAC jurisdictions. • Advise on and help operationalize privacy compliance across the APAC region, spanning major regimes such as Singapore's PDPA, India's DPDPA, Japan's APPI, Australia's Privacy Act, and Hong Kong's PDPO, as well as navigating cross-border data flows, localization requirements, and the extraterritorial reach of regional privacy laws.. • Advise on cross-border data transfers, data localization, and localized consent flows across the region, in close coordination with regional product and engineering hubs. • Conduct and review privacy impact assessments, data protection impact assessments, and records of processing activities for APAC-specific initiatives and entities. • Anticipate and identify data protection obligations and risks, and help address them in a practical, scalable, and privacy-by-design manner. • Draft, review, and negotiate privacy terms in commercial agreements, vendor arrangements, and data processing agreements relevant to the region. • Monitor legislative and regulatory developments across APAC, interpret their impact for Adyen, and translate them into actionable internal policies, procedures, and controls. • Support privacy incident response and management in the region, coordinating with the wider DPO
