    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.

    Role Insights

    Sales Development roles are ideal stepping stones — top SDRs typically promote to AE within 12-18 months.

    Expect to work with recurring revenue models where customer retention is as important as acquisition.

    The German market values structured sales processes and typically offers strong base salaries alongside performance incentives.
