Product Manager - Interface Foundations

The world's largest businesses run on Adyen. They manage their business in our portal, embed our components in their interfaces to serve their own users, and send their shoppers through our checkout. To them, it's all one product. It's built by many teams working in parallel, and whether it feels like one product depends on the foundations they share. You'll own the design system and technical frameworks those teams build on. You'll decide what gets built next, get teams across Adyen building on it, and set the standards that keep the experience consistent without slowing anyone down.

Responsibilities
