Motivation Letter

Dear Hiring Team,

I am excited to apply for the Business Analyst Payments Pricing role. With a background in AI, data engineering, and analytical automation, I am strongly motivated by roles where accuracy, scalability, and smart data modeling directly impact business performance. Adyen's focus on transparent pricing, operational excellence, and solving complex problems at global scale is exactly the environment I want to grow in.

During my experience as a Data Scientist and AI Engineer, I worked extensively with SQL, Python, data pipelines, anomaly detection, and process automation. These experiences taught me how to turn large datasets into clear insights, detect inefficiencies, and build models that improve reliability and performance. All skills that transfer directly to pricing optimization and cost-prediction analysis.

What draws me specifically to this role is the opportunity to become an expert in interchange and scheme fees, and contribute to the accuracy of Adyen's pricing models. I enjoy understanding the logic behind financial systems, spotting inconsistencies, strengthening internal tooling, and building data-driven structures that scale reliably. The combination of technical depth, analytical problem-solving, and cross-team collaboration makes this role a perfect match for my strengths.

I thrive in environments where speed, precision, and ownership are expected, and where continuous improvement is part of the culture. I would be excited to apply my detail-oriented mindset, technical skills, and curiosity to support Adyen's mission of delivering transparent, efficient, and high-quality pricing to merchants.

Thank you for considering my application. I would be thrilled to bring my analytical skills, drive for improvement, and enthusiasm for payments technology to the Global Payments Pricing team.

Best regards,
Selma Kocabıyık
