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. About the Role Data is Adyen's key differentiator, but to unlock its full potential, we are executing a fundamental technical and cultural shift. We are accelerating toward a strong Data Foundation model where every domain owns the data it produces, treats it as a product, and guarantees its quality at the source through enforceable data contracts. As the Technical Program Manager , you will be the operational engine driving our Data Foundations set-up. You will own the cross-functional execution framework required to establish robust data governance, support the rollout of self-service data infrastructure, drive organizational adoption, and systematically reduce technical debt across Adyen. Key Responsibilities • Drive Execution at Pace : Take full ownership of the Data Foundation program, effectively unblocking teams so they can focus on building rather than navigating dependencies • Bridge Gaps & Silos : Oversee and drive alignment across multiple solutions where you identify and manage dependencies that individual product teams might overlook • Mitigate Risk : Ensure risks of the program are mitigated promptly and proactively to avoid impact of delays or incorrect technical decisions • Cultural transformation and adoption : drive change management across the organization in the way we see, store and use data to ensure it fits our Data Strategy • Technical Debt & Modernization : coordinate milestones for legacy systems deprecation, to ensure we reduce technical debt while focusing on driving the modernization of our Data Tech Stack • Operational Artifacts : Establish and maintain standardized program health tools, including RAID logs (Risks, Actions, Issues, Dependencies), program dashboards, new blue-prints and cross-team roadmaps. Who You Are • Core Technical Program Management Mastery: 5–7 years of experience leading complex, high-stakes technical programs or platform migrations in global, cross-product environments (preferably Tech). • Data Fluency: Functional understanding of modern data design patterns and infrastructure, including Data Mesh, Data Contracts, lineage tracking, and metadata cataloging. • Change Management & Communication: Strong ability to navigate across the organization, foster collaboration and alignment, and align product and engineering teams to adopt a "data as a product" mindset. • Systems Thinker: Excellent capability to look across individual products, synthesize dependencies, trade-offs and ensure all is managed from one centralized roadmap • Metrics-Driven Operator: Strong analytical skills with a proven track record of establishing standardized telemetry, RAID logs, and program dashboards to monitor execution velocity and operational efficiency. This role's annual base salary range is $154,000 - $200,000 plus RSUs. To lear
