Adyen is looking for a Team Lead Accounts Payable to grow the Group Finance team in Amsterdam, overseeing two functions: Accounts Payable Process (part of Procure to Pay) as well as General Ledger (Record to Report) Accounting. You will not just manage processes; you will motivate and coach a team of 8 people to elevate their impact from operational activities toward full operational accounting ownership.
