CDD Risk Analyst

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end KYC and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) reviews for high-risk or complex merchant portfolios, ensuring compliance with internal policies and external regulations
• Analyse changes in customer ownership, structure or activity, document material shifts in risk profile, and recommend mitigation actions
• Maintain and optimize team processes and automation solutions to increase review throughput and accuracy
• Coordinate and execute within cross-functional projects spanning compliance, technology and commercial teams, from scoping through to delivery
• Provide expert guidance to merchants on due diligence requirements, resolving escalations and clarifying regulatory expectations
• Align review frameworks and scoring models with regional and global risk teams to ensure consistent risk assessment
• Why is this Role Unique?
• This role goes beyond front-line KYC or merchant onboarding. As a CDD Risk Analyst, you play a critical role in maintaining Adyen's long-term regulatory integrity by assessing how business risks evolve over time and contributing to strategic improvements in our review processes.

Requirements

• Deep understanding of AML, counter-terrorist financing and regulatory expectations across multiple jurisdictions.
• Track record of executing and delivering process or tooling enhancements that successfully saved time or reduced risk.
• Strong analytical mindset - you spot trends, surface red flags early and translate data into clear recommendations.
• Skilled communicator who influences senior stakeholders without formal authority and adapts messaging for varied audiences.
• Enjoys mentoring and developing more junior analysts, sharing best practices and elevating team performance.
• Comfortable working across cultures and time zones in a fast-paced environment.
• Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion commitments
• Studies show that women and members of underrepresented communities apply for jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. Does this sound like you? If so, Adyen encourages you to reconsider and apply. We look forward to your application!
• What's next?
