Product Manager – Strategic Initiatives – Remote First

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

In today’s digital Europe, payments still feel too complicated. Random delays, confusing rules, extra apps and accounts make it harder than it should be to pay and get paid.

The European Payments Initiative is changing that with Wero, a proudly European digital wallet to make payments easier, clearer and more secure. Online, in store, at home and across borders, with your money and data protected under European laws and regulations.

Wero is live in Belgium, France and Germany and launching very soon in Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Backed by 16 major banks and the two largest European acquirers, we’re building a brand new, proudly European payment system. Why not join us?

🔎 What's in it for you

Come and help shape the next generation of Wero’s wallet experience across Europe.
In this role, you will turn complex product ideas and market demands into clear, technically feasible plans. Working at the intersection of Product, Engineering, and Strategy, you will structure discovery for high-impact initiatives, assess technical feasibility, and support leadership in making well-informed product decisions.

You will collaborate closely with engineers, designers, and member banks to transform ambiguity into actionable solutions and help drive the evolution of our wallet product.

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.
