## Job description

## Why Verifone

For more than 40 years Verifone has established a remarkable record of leadership in the electronic payment technology industry. Verifone has one of the leading electronic payment solutions brands and is one of the largest providers of electronic payment systems worldwide.

Verifone has a diverse, dynamic and fast paced work environment in which employees are focused on results and have opportunities to excel. We take pride in the fact that we work with leading retailers, merchants, banks, and third party partners to invent and deliver innovative payments solution around the world. We strive for excellence in our products and services, and are obsessed with customer happiness. Across the globe, Verifone employees are leading the payments industry through experience, innovation, and an ambitious spirit. Whether it’s developing the next platform of secure payment systems or searching for new ways to bring electronic payments to new markets, the team at Verifone is dedicated to the success of our customers, partners and investors. It is this passion for innovation that drives each one of our employees for personal and professional success.

Verifone is proudly an in-office work culture as we see immense benefits to career development and business results from our colleagues being physically co-located. Currently, we do allow a hybrid work schedule but we regularly revisit our attendance policy.

## What's Exciting About The Role

This role places you at the centre of Verifone’s payment application strategy for the DACH region. You will shape the terminal application stack that powers one of Europe’s most complex and competitive payment markets — across attended, unattended, SmartPOS, SoftPOS, gateway, and 3rd Party App environments. You will influence product direction across all form factors, drive girocard and next‑generation initiatives like Victa, and own a horizontal product portfolio that touches every merchant segment.

For candidates who want broad ownership, strategic impact, and visibility across engineering, sales, and market leadership, this is one of the most influential product roles in the region.

## Key Responsibilities

- BHE Poseidon App roadmap & Book of Work: End-to-end release planning and prioritisation across the DACH product portfolio (Victa series, NEO 2, Engage (until EOL) and future upcoming products) and the software attached to it.
- Payment methods: Girocard (DK), ICS (International card Schemes, ELV/GLV, APMs, cashback, instalments, in future Wero (EPI) and Digital Euro
- Customer variants: Like enterprise-specific builds. You know why the same terminal ships six different application variants — and can defend or consolidate that on the roadmap.
- Estate & terminal management: VHQ 2.0 rollout and adoption, remote update, key management, and certificate management for Verifone and our customers.
- Certification pipeline: PCI-PTS, P2PE vs non-P2PE, GBIC, DC POS / TA, DK certification cycles — you own the sequencing (not the certification itself) so the sales pipeline never stalls on a missing certificate.
- Scheme & regulator alignment: Deutsche Kreditwirtschaft (DK), EURO Kartensysteme, Bundesbank/BaFin adjacencies, and equivalent bodies for AT and CH (SIX / EP2).
- Sales & Ops alignment: Partner to DACH Region management and country sales on Book of Work, feature commitments, and customer escalations — from Partner conferences to enterprise merchants.
- Engineering & ADC partnership: Tight collaboration with the Poseidon Engineering, and Hardware teams on release readiness, hardware supply topics (spares, EOL), and new form factors.
- Hardware aspects: Cover the relevant workstreams to make a hardware product sellable in the DACH region.

## Skills and Experience We Desire

- Native or Business fluent German language
- 5+ years of product management in the DACH/EU payments space — terminal vendor, PSP, acquiring, or network operator.
- Broad payments fluency: girocard, international card schemes, SoftPOS, APMs, ELV/SEPA — and how a terminal management system (VHQ or equivalent) ties the estate together.
- Technical foundation: ZVT-H / PSDK / SDI / EP2, EMV kernel, PCI-PTS, P2PE, PSD2 SCA. You do not need to code, but you read Engineering quotes and certification reports on your own.
- Book of Work discipline: comfortable owning a multi-product, multi-customer release matrix and forcing prioritisation trade-offs.
- Regulatory instinct: BaFin/ZAG context, DK/GBIC, ZAIT — you know when a feature change triggers an approval process.
