Team Lead - Technical Support

As a Technical Support Team Lead for In-Person Payments (IPP) based in Singapore, you’ll lead a high-performing, merchant-focused team that supports Adyen’s global retail and omnichannel merchants. Your team serves as the first line of technical support for our point-of-sale (POS) solutions - helping merchants ensure their terminals, integrations, and payment flows run smoothly. You’ll guide your team in collaborating with technical, operational, and commercial teams to deliver seamless, real-world payment experiences. Adyen operates 24/7 on a “follow the sun” model across different time zones.

What you'll do

• Lead and develop a team that is the go-to source of knowledge for Adyen’s In-Person Payments platform, POS devices, terminal integrations, and related APIs.
• Manage and grow a Singapore-based team that collaborates with peers across regions to provide exceptional technical support to our merchants.
• Coach and mentor team members to troubleshoot complex hardware, network, and integration issues while developing their technical and soft skills.
• Define and clearly communicate team goals, ensuring alignment with IPP global support standards and merchant satisfaction metrics.
• Track and report team performance through KPIs and data insights, driving accountability, consistency, and efficiency.
• Handle escalations from merchants and senior stakeholders, providing timely resolutions and managing expectations effectively.
• Play an active role in shaping the global IPP support strategy, identifying process improvements and sharing best practices across regions.

Who you are

• A people-first leader with at least 3 years of experience managing or developing technical support teams, ideally within a hardware, payments, or retail technology context.
• Familiar with leading geographically distributed teams and comfortable working across time zones and cultures.
• A strong problem-solver who can identify root causes, define robust support processes, and drive operational excellence.
• Confident in serving as an escalation point for terminal connectivity, transaction, and integration-related issues.
• Skilled at balancing commercial needs with technical feasibility and global support strategy.
• Technically inclined, with working knowledge of SQL, networking, scripting, APIs, or POS technologies.
• While prior payments experience is a plus, genuine curiosity and enthusiasm for in-person and omni-channel payments are key.
• Strong communicator, able to simplify technical issues and influence stakeholders at all levels.
• Willing to travel when needed to support team development, merchant rollouts, or global initiatives.
