Senior Business Analyst at Adyen in São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil

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. About the Team The Strategy & Planning team is the function responsible for shaping and accelerating LatAm's strategic growth. Our role is to identify what truly moves the region forward, ensure focus on the highest-impact opportunities, and create clarity on where we are going and how we get there. We operate as connectors, challengers, and enablers across Brazil, Mexico, and global teams. We combine strategic depth with execution discipline. We analyze opportunities, validate assumptions, stress-test feasibility, and adjust the route when needed. Our work is built on selectivity, prioritization, and impact — we make conscious choices about which initiatives we lead, which we support, and which we should not pursue. We are not an operational back-office or a task-taker team. We are a strategic growth engine, responsible for pushing LatAm forward, ensuring we focus on what matters, and creating long-term value for the region and the company. The Role We are looking for a Senior Business Analyst to join our team. This is not a supporting role. You will be a driver of the region's strategic agenda — expected to operate with independence, voice, and influence. You will work at the intersection of strategy, market intelligence, and cross-functional execution, partnering directly with regional leadership and stakeholders across Brazil, Mexico, and global teams. Your output will shape how LatAm grows. Why This Role This is a rare opportunity to sit at the heart of Adyen's LatAm growth story. You will not be executing someone else's roadmap — you will help write it. If you are intellectually curious, commercially rigorous, and driven by impact, this team is where you belong. What You Will Do Assess and prioritize the strategic opportunities that matter most for LatAm. Lead or support high-impact regional initiatives, from commercial acceleration to market expansion. Provide regional leadership with visibility, insight, and clear recommendations backed by rigorous analysis. Build business cases, market sizings, and feasibility assessments to guide strategic decisions. Conduct competitive and industry analysis to inform positioning and identify growth levers. Strengthen ways of working across teams, ensuring coherence and accountability. Connect internal and external stakeholders to unlock new commercial opportunities. Represent the Strategy & Planning team with confidence across pillars, functions, and leadership. What We Expect Driver Seat Mentality Take ownership rather than wait for direction. Bring opinions, not just questions. Shape discussions, challenge assumptions, and help define the path forward. Depth, Curiosity & Rigor Go deep into problems, data, and market context. Understand the "why" behind numbers, trends, and decisions. Never settle for a superficial answer or a superficial solution. Cross-Functional Influence Navigate the organization decisively, connecting dots across areas. Be vocal with leaders, pillars, Solutions, Finance, Revenue Operations, and external stakeholders. Act as a multiplier — ensuring people understand the problem and move with alignment. Market & Business Intelligence Stay close to numbers: revenue, cost, volume, profitability, trends. Understand the industry, competitors, macro movements, and customer dynamics. Bring insights — not only data — to shape how LatAm grows. Communication & Visibility Communicate clearly, directly, and proactively. Give context, share rationale, and ensure no one is left guessing. Make the team's work visible and represent the team with confidence. Collaboration Over Silos Operate openly, not in isolation. Share progress, risks, and learnings with the team. Contribute to a culture of partnership and transparency. What You Bring 5+ years of experience in strategy, business development, management consulting, or a related field. Strong analytical skills — comfortable working with data, building models, and deriving actionable insights. Experience in payments, fintech, or financial services is a strong plus. Proven ability to operate with autonomy and influence across levels and functions. Language proficiency: Advanced English (required), Native Portuguese (required), Spanish (strong plus). Structured thinker who can translate complexity into clear, executive-ready outputs. Track record of delivering high-quality work in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
