This is a strategic role that is important to sound corporate governance practices and continued sustainable growth. The role requires someone effective at cross collaboration, who excels at decision making in a fast-moving complex environment. Knowledge of and comfort with the Market Abuse Regulation is imperative to success. The counsel will drive discussions and decisioning on disclosure matters as well as advise on public filings and equity matters. The role forms part of Adyen’s larger corporate practice which covers corporate governance, litigation and disputes and corporate development.

What you'll do:

• Review and advise on public filings as well as other disclosure documentation.
• Provide legal support and internal training on other corporate law matters as required, such as corporate development and other corporate legal initiatives.
• Manage insider trading and conflict of interest inquiries, procedures, and policies.

• Support the disclosure committee, driving strategic disclosure reviews and determinations.
• Partner with Investor Relations and Communications on disclosure matters.
• Advise on equity structures and incentive plans in partnership with HR and Rewards teams.
• Consult with regulators and financial authorities such as the AFM.
• Keep abreast of developments in relevant Dutch and European corporate legal matters.

What you bring:

• An attorney with minimum of 4+ years of corporate legal experience, either as a corporate attorney or in-house corporate counsel at a publicly listed company in an international setting.
• Strong knowledge of the Market Abuse Regulation (MAR) and related Dutch and European regulations.
• Familiarity with equity compensation structures.
• Experience interfacing with the AFM, supervisory boards, and management boards.
• Excellent analytical, communication, and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to structure and prioritize in a high volume, fast-paced, complex environment.
• Can work independently as well as collaboratively, gathering appropriate input and making clear, well-reasoned decisions.
• You are available to work from our Amsterdam office and travel to other offices periodically.

This role is based out of our Amsterdam office. We are an office-first company and value in-person collaboration; we do not offer remote-only roles.
