Product Manager – Horizontal Platform Poseidon

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.
