Head of Developer Advocacy

We’re looking for a Head of Developer Advocacy to help shape and scale an industry‑leading developer experience for Adyen’s customers and partners. This is a strategic, product‑focused role within our Developer Experience (DevX) group. Your influence will stretch from internal engineering teams to the external developers building on our platform every day.

In this role, you’ll play a key part in co‑leading Adyen’s global Developer Experience strategy by partnering deeply with engineers, product teams, and external developers to drive meaningful improvements to our platform. Your goal is to ensure that developers have a seamless, powerful experience building on Adyen – and that their voice directly influences our roadmap.

You’ll champion a content strategy and turn friction logs into product opportunities, ensuring developers’ feedback is heard, understood, and acted upon. At the same time, you’ll help grow and lead a team of developer advocates who empower developers and guide them toward long‑term success with Adyen. The focus is on driving real product impact through technical insight, empathy for developers, and strong internal alignment.

What You’ll Do

Build an industry‑leading developer experience

• Champion the end‑to‑end developer journey across Adyen’s APIs, SDKs, documentation, and tooling – with a relentless focus on removing friction and increasing adoption.
• Design and scale structured feedback loops with developers (customers, partners, and the broader ecosystem) to identify pain points and surface actionable insights.
