Enterprise Business Development Representative

The Business Development team at Adyen is the frontline of the commercial engine—responsible for identifying high-potential prospects, shaping early conversations, and strategically supporting pipeline generation in partnership with our global sales, marketing, and partnership teams.

This is not your typical BDR role. At Adyen, we’re evolving what Business Development looks like: Our BDRs operate at the intersection of strategy and execution with a focus on strategic campaign orchestration and high-value pipeline generation across large addressable revenue merchants.

We’re looking for a high-potential Business Development Representative (BDR) who is curious, creative, tech savvy, and excited to play a hands-on role in driving the continued growth of Adyen’s new business segment.

You’ll partner with senior sellers, marketers, channel partner managers and various stakeholders to:

• Strategically target high-potential accounts by leveraging signal-driven insights and commercial strategy
• Design and support campaigns that align to buyer needs, market trends, and strategic priorities, in tight partnership with Sales, Marketing & Partnerships.
• Execute multi-channel, creative prospecting with highly tailored messaging that aligns with the merchant's challenges and business level priorities
• Collaborate closely with the commercial engine to shape strategic account plans and continuously refine outreach based on feedback and learnings
• Leverage tools and AI-enabled workflows to optimize your prospecting and uncover insights that uncover and initiate early stage opportunities
• Identify new business opportunities at industry events by facilitating targeted in-person prospect engagement.
• You’ll operate at the intersection of strategy, execution, and enablement—a builder and connector who helps shape how Adyen goes to market.
• Curiosity: You proactively seek to understand the customer, the product, and the signals that matter. You have an interest in payments and industry trends
• Adaptability: You adjust your tone, message, and motion based on the prospect, pillar, and opportunity
• Resilience: You stay focused through ambiguity and rejection—long-cycle enterprise sales excite you
• Ownership: You take accountability for results, learn fast, and never wait to be told what to do
• Judgment: You make smart decisions on how and when to engage, and how to prioritize your pipeline
• Sales Acumen: You understand qualification and the mechanics of an enterprise deal—this is not a handoff role
• Communication & Collaboration: You clearly articulate value, can collaborate and influence stakeholders across Sales, Marketing, and Partnerships, and influence strategic account planning. You are comfortable communicating with senior level prospects.
• Technical Aptitude: You’re excited by technology and use tools (including AI) to improve how you operate both professionally and personally
• Strategic Thinking: You see the bigger picture—how your work supports long-term commercial goals, not just short-term KPIs
• Experience in B2B sales, consulting, or a go-to-market function
• Familiarity with CRM tools, sales engagement platforms
• Fintech, payments experience or interest
• Be part of a global, diverse, and fast-growing team
• Ownership of your impact, with room to grow into more senior roles
• Exposure to complex enterprise deals and strategic sales motions
• A culture that values speed, trust, collaboration, and personal growth
