About the team and role
Adyen’s Payment & Product Partnerships Counsel team is newly chartered within the Regulatory organization to build and scale the legal framework for our most critical financial and technology infrastructure relationships. We are looking for a skilled, business-oriented financial services transactions lawyer to join our team in Singapore, focusing on partnerships in the APAC region. In this role, you will be a principal advisor to our partnerships, product, risk, and compliance teams, responsible for a broad range of transactions and relationships that span financial services ecosystems, business operations and processes, and technology.
Adyen’s Regulatory and Legal teams build and operate at the intersection of global financial services law and regulation, commercial strategy, and product innovation. We’re looking for a lawyer who’s at home leading deals to support highly regulated, complex products, and who’s willing to roll up their sleeves and take on projects large and small. Experience with financial services transactions and a working understanding of market-dominant financial services regulatory models are a must; experience in payments, lending, and fintech are a plus, but not required.
