You'll have comms colleagues in North America, but they cover different remits, for NA internal comms, you are the owner. In practice that means real autonomy: you'll set your own priorities against agreed goals, and you'll make the day-to-day judgment calls yourself. You will work with a few hours of daily overlap with Amsterdam, backed by a regular rhythm of 1:1s and team syncs. We are looking for someone who is energized by independence and thrives operating across time zones.What You’ll AchieveHelp shape and scale Adyen's global internal communications strategy as we enter our next phase of growth.Own Adyen's key North America internal communications milestones end to end - strategy, narrative, format, delivery and measurement - and act as the internal communications partner for the region, working with NA leaders to sharpen how they communicate and engage their teams.Own global internal communications projects end to end, partnering with leaders and teams around the world to land company-wide messages that reach every Adyen employee.Create content and experiences that bring our priorities to life through events (including narratives), comms campaigns, video, and written content.Put the right processes, tools, and channels in place to drive dialogue and engagement, not just information sharing.Use data and feedback to understand what's working, what's not, and continuously raise the bar for internal communications at Adyen.Who You AreYou have 10+ years of relevant experience in internal communications, ideally in a high-growth environment.You've owned a region or a comparable scope and led company-wide projects: you can point to something global you owned rather than supported.You're an excellent communicator with strong written and verbal English skills, a clear talent for storytelling, and experience designing internal events and moments from the narrative through to the room.You work well with distance: a self-starter who takes ownership without close oversight, communicates proactively in writing, and is comfortable being the person in the room when your manager and most of your team are not. You're happy to flex your hours for European overlap and to travel occasionally.You thrive in fast-growing organizations: you drive projects end to end, manage a wide range of stakeholders with ease, and are comfortable navigating ambiguity and complex topics.You're curious, creative and data-driven, you use insights and metrics to inform decisions, and you're always looking for new ways to communicate, sharpen ideas, and test new things.Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion commitmentsOur unobvious approach is a product of our diverse perspectives.
