🚀 Be part of a movement to change the way Europe pays

In today’s digital world, payments often still feel outdated: random delays and confusing rules make it harder than it should be to pay and get paid. The European Payments Initiative (EPI) is here to change all that, forever.

With Wero, our digital wallet, we make sending and receiving money simple, seamless and secure across France, Belgium and Germany, with more countries and omnichannel solutions coming soon. Supported by 14 major banks and the two largest European acquirers, EPI is building a new, proudly European payment system: easy, instant and transparent, all for the greater good.

🔎 What's in it for you

Are you ready to make a significant impact on the future of digital identity in the EU? As a key player in the European Payment Initiative (EPI), you will spearhead a groundbreaking research project at the intersection of digital identity and payments. Your role will involve conducting in-depth research and benchmark studies to inform our strategies and decisions. You will define the vision and goals for digital identity within EPI, ensuring they align with our strategic objectives.

🐝 About the team

You’ll be part of a Pan-European Product and Engineering team that operates in an Agile environment with experts in Product Design, Web Dev, Mobile Dev, Backend Dev, QA and DevOps from Germany, France, the Netherlands, Poland, and other European locations. Initially, you’ll work on your own during this phase of the project and report directly to our CPTO. However, a team will be created around you as the topic and organization evolve.

💥 Your impact

• Identify and validate hypotheses for digital identity products related to payments
• Utilise data and market insights to shape digital identity product opportunities for Wero

• Develop and manage a strategic roadmap for digital identity, including key milestones and product enhancements
• Effectively communicate technical concepts and findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders through reports, presentations, and documentation
• Document technical designs and features to aid decision-making
• Collaborate with product managers, developers, designers, and other teams to translate insights into actionable tasks
• Represent EPI and its interests at events such as forums, committees, workshops, and meetings
• Collaborate with EPI’s member banks to align on research results and future roadmap possibilities

🕵 To succeed, you should meet at least 70% of these requirements

• Minimum 7 years of proven experience in a technical payment environment, along with substantial project management experience
• Demonstrated ability to independently drive a research project with a high degree of autonomy
• Proven experience with eIDAS, EUID, and/or digital identity wallets
• Fluent in English (CEFR C1 or C2); French, German or Dutch or any additional European languages is a plus
• Experienced in utilizing Jira for project management and Confluence for documentation and collaboration

🪜 If this looks like you, the recruitment steps are:

1. A first call with one of our recruiters
2. A technical interview with our Head of Engineering
3. An interview with our Chief Member and Strategy Officer
4. A final interview with our CPTO
5. Hopefully, an offer you can’t refuse

⛔ Turn back if …

• You expecting to be directly part of a cross-functional implementation team
• You do not have experience with eIDAS, EUID, and identity wallets
