Acquirer Implementation Project Manager – Remote-First

Stellenbeschreibung:

Join to apply for the Acquirer Implementation Project Manager – Remote‑First role at EPI Company .

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 In today’s digital world, payments often still feel outdated: random delays and confusing rules make it harder than it should be to pay and get paid.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

You'll play a key role in driving the successful implementation of EPI across the market. Acting as the bridge between the acquirers and the EPI organization, you’ll design a tailored implementation plan and ensure seamless coordination among all stakeholders until go‑live.

Through regular engagement with individual members and the broader ecosystem, you’ll foster collaboration, share best practices, and build momentum. You’ll be the go‑to person for aligning efforts, solving challenges, and maintaining a 360° view of progress, making you the internal champion for EPI members and a vital contributor to bringing the vision to life.

About the team

You will report directly to Gerry, our Chief Market Roll Out, who has more than 20 years of experience in the payments sector, and will be part of a team of experienced implementation managers.
