🚀 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In today’s digital world, payments often still feel outdated: random delays and confusing rules make it harder than it should be to pay and get paid.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

Reporting to the Country Relationship Lead for Germany, you are supporting EPI’s engagement with a portfolio of members and contributing to business development activities in the German, Belgian and Luxembourg markets. In close relation with EPI members, you structure the relationship (community and bilateral meetings) to ensure regular follow-up, both on consumer and acceptance sides. You also support acquiring new EPI members to complete the market coverage of EPI.

At EPI, we embrace a remote-first culture, enabling our teams to work remotely from the country they are based in, with in-person meetings at least once a quarter to foster collaboration and connection.

🐝 About the team

You’ll join a team of four talented relationship leads and business developers based in Germany, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. You will report to our Country Relationship Manager, who manages the German market and has an impressive track record in the payment industry in the DACH region.
