We’re looking for a proactive Internal Auditor with a focus on technology and security risks to help Adyen build an ethical, resilient, and sustainable business. In this role, you will provide independent, risk-based assurance and advice across Adyen’s technology landscape. You will work on audits covering areas such as infrastructure, cloud, identity and access management, software development, cyber security, resilience, and the controls that support our regulated financial platform. You will work closely with teams globally across Engineering, Security, Product, Risk, Compliance, and others. This role sits in Internal Audit reporting to the team lead in Amsterdam and is part of Adyen’s third line of defence. That means you are independent, but never distant: you understand the business deeply, take deep interest in technology and security, ask sharp questions, and help management make better decisions. This role is based out of our Amsterdam office. We are an office-first company and value in-person collaboration.
