About this role
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.
The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Internal Communications Manager , based in San Francisco, to join our global Internal Communications team.
As the Internal Communications team, our ambition is to help Adyen move fast and stay aligned - by making strategy clear, connection meaningful, and culture scalable. We do this by ensuring teams across the company understand where we’re going, why it matters, and how they fit into the bigger picture.
We’re looking for someone who knows how to turn complex topics into clear, engaging stories - and who has done this at scale, ideally in a fast-paced tech environment.
This role holds dual responsibilities & you will need to flex equally between both:
• Regional scope: You will own key internal communications for North America end-to-end, serving as the strategic comms lead who makes the moments that matter (milestones, launches, leadership moments, and cultural touchpoints) land for thousands of colleagues across the region.
• Global scope: You will lead high-profile, company-wide initiatives that reach every Adyen employee globally.
You'll report to our Head of Internal Communications, who is based in Amsterdam. You'll have comms colleagues in North America, but they cover different remits, for NA internal comms, you are the owner. In practice that means real autonomy: you'll set your own priorities against agreed goals, and you'll make the day-to-day judgment calls yourself. You will work with a few hours of daily overlap with Amsterdam, backed by a regular rhythm of 1:1s and team syncs. We are looking for someone who is energized by independence and thrives operating across time zones.
What You’ll Achieve
• Help shape and scale Adyen's global internal communications strategy as we enter our next phase of growth.
• Own Adyen's key North America internal communications milestones end to end - strategy, narrative, format, delivery and measurement - and act as the internal communications partner for the region, working with NA leaders to sharpen how they communicate and engage their teams.
• Own global internal communications projects end to end, partnering with leaders and teams around the world to land company-wide messages that reach every Adyen employee.
• Create content and experiences that bring our priorities to life through events (includi
