Senior Data Analyst - Business Intelligence

This is Adyen

Adyen is the payments platform of choice for the world's leading companies, delivering frictionless payments across online, mobile, and in-store channels. Our team members are motivated individuals that help each other do remarkable things every day. We face unique technical challenges at scale and we solve those as a team. And together, we deliver innovative and ethical solutions that transform the way the world pays.

We took an unobvious approach to starting a payments company, building a platform from scratch. Now, Adyen serves the world's brightest companies like Meta, Uber, L'Oreal, Camper, eBay, GoFundMe, Bonobos, and Spotify. 

Senior Data Analyst

We are looking for a senior data analyst who is both passionate about data, as well as telling the stories behind it. You are a professional in insights storytelling, communication and visualization and know how to turn metrics into action. You love seeing data transform into information, enabling automation and creating convincing visualizations (such as dashboards and presentations) and stories.

You are able to spot opportunities in data and know how to enable others to use it effectively. Next to being a data evangelist, you love building self-serve dashboards for people to use, whether our merchants directly, or any internal stakeholders. You don’t like doing the same thing twice: you have an automation mindset so your work is never repetitive. 

To accomplish this you possess a strong technical skill set that enables you to ingest, transform and present data in such a way that it can answer multiple questions. 

What You'll Do 

We are currently hiring for many different streams, this stream is called Business Intelligence.

The Business Intelligence team is where we bring data together to empower everyone at Adyen to make data-informed decisions. We strive to have everyone's data questions answered in 10 minutes. Being a bit more of the 'generalists' within the organization, we keep a bird's-eye view on data available, but maintain strong networks with i.a. product analysts to get all the expertise we need. We are in the lead to curate and build dashboards and data sources that are validated and clearly defined.
As the account management team is one of our large stakeholders we also much welcome a commercial mindset to help our merchants get the most out of Adyen data.

You’ll be involved in shaping the next generation Business Intelligence and data infrastructure and you’ll build self service tools to enable everyone at Adyen to use data in their work.

You love articulating data-stories to your stakeholders. These can include merchants on our platform.
