Join Adyen's In-Person Payments Security & Certifications team as a Senior Security Certifications Expert, where you will lead the PCI certification portfolio for our complex payment infrastructure, ensuring compliance and security across hardware devices, software applications, and solution-level certifications. Your day-to-day involves managing deadlines, collaborating with external assessors, providing security guidance to engineering teams, maintaining documentation, and representing Adyen in industry forums.

  • Proven track record of managing complex compliance pipelines with multiple certifications.
