Verifone has one of the leading electronic payment solutions brands and is one of the largest providers of electronic payment systems worldwide.\nVerifone has a diverse, dynamic and fast paced work environment in which employees are focused on results and have opportunities to excel. We take pride in the fact that we work with leading retailers, merchants, banks, and third party partners to invent and deliver innovative payments solution around the world. We strive for excellence in our products and services, and are obsessed with customer happiness. Across the globe, Verifone employees are leading the payments industry through experience, innovation, and an ambitious spirit. Whether it’s developing the next platform of secure payment systems or searching for new ways to bring electronic payments to new markets, the team at Verifone is dedicated to the success of our customers, partners and investors. It is this passion for innovation that drives each one of our employees for personal and professional success.\nVerifone is proudly an in-office work culture as we see immense benefits to career development and business results from our colleagues being physically co-located. Currently, we do allow a hybrid work schedule but we regularly revisit our attendance policy.\nWhat's Exciting About the Role\nThe Director, Product Management - Payment Application Solutions owns Verifone's semi-integrated and fully integrated payment application portfolio for the North America region serving ISVs, partners, enterprise retail, QSR, and financial institution customers. \nThis is an individual contributor role carrying the scope of a functional owner. It combines product management (strategy, roadmap, prioritization), product ownership (requirements definition, backlog, sprint-level partnership), technical program management (milestone definition, dependency management, and hands-on driving of technical implementation), and product commercialization (certification and listing paths, part number and boarding setup, launch readiness). \nThe successful candidate brings ability to influence without authority, drive deep cross functional relationships and drive a cohesive North America solutions delivery plan in partnership with engineering. They also have firsthand expertise in card-present payment environments, deep familiarity with payment terminal hardware and the certification ecosystem, and the organizational instincts to drive cross-functional execution. \nResponsibilities\nPortfolio Ownership & Quarterly Prioritization \nOwn the North America semi-integrated and fully integrated payment application portfolio and planning - SCA, AGPA, and XPI - across the ISV/VAR, enterprise retail, QSR, and financial institution verticals \nOrganize and triage all demand intake into the portfolio, from customer commitments, commercial teams, executive sponsors, certification bodies, and internal stakeholders. \nBuild and publish prioritized roadmaps each fiscal quarter, including quarterly backlog grooming across product areas, and sequence work against business impact, capacity, and dependency reality. Establish running 12 month roadmaps. \nIdentify and escalate conflicts between competing commitments early, and maintain a defensible, evidence-based position \nMaintain the operational plan and reporting apparatus for payment applications, including monthly roadmap status reporting to senior leadership. \nPartner with the L3 certification team to drive certification-impacting initiatives, and incorporate certification requirements, sequencing, and lead times into overall initiative planning. \nProduct Definition & Requirements \nWrite and own PRDs for material initiatives, translating market, customer, and executive intent into actionable engineering requirements. \nSupport business analysts throughout the BRD process for net-new customer projects, resolving product, functional, and technical questions authoritatively. \nIdentify where bespoke, SOW-driven customer requirements can be built as reusable platform capability applicable to future customers, and shape scope accordingly rather than delivering one-off solutions. \nDrive deeper requirements gathering where definition gaps would otherwise be resolved reactively during development. \nServe as product owner for the payment application backlog, including grooming, acceptance criteria, and sprint-level partnership with scrum teams. \nTechnical Program Management & Delivery Execution \nPartner with engineering to define scope, requirements, milestones, and delivery sequencing for large multi-quarter initiatives across four scrum teams and 25+ engineers. \nDrive technical implementation actively - not solely schedule and status, but architectural and integration decisions, trade-off analysis, and unblocking of technical dependencies. \nTrack cross-team dependencies and surface risk with sufficient lead time for the organization to act on it. \nCommercial, Finance & Forecast Interlock \nWork with commercial teams to understand pipeline and revenue forecasts, and ensure forecasted opportunities are reflected in quarterly roadmap planning. \nProvide the product-side reality check that connects commercial ambition to delivery capacity before commitments are made externally. \nElevate operational rigor in the interlock between Finance, Sales forecasting, executive priorities, and the known engineering backlog. \nStrategic Partnerships & Cross-Portfolio Product Partnership \nOwn the product-side relationship with strategic partners - processors, acquirers, gateways, and platform partners such as Worldpay, Fiserv, and Instamed - shaping joint solution scope, certification approach, and delivery sequencing. \nRepresent partnership-driven requirements within North America roadmap planning, and assess where partner commitments create dependencies or capacity risk against existing plans. \nCoordinate closely with payment gateway product counterparts - a heavy and continuous interlock - as well as with FiPay, to align roadmaps, dependencies, and sequencing across product lines. \nProvide payment application pipeline visibility to peer product managers to support cross-functional planning. \nRequired Qualifications\nDomain expertise - non-negotiable \n10+ years in product management, technical program management, or a closely related technical product role within payments; Senior Director level or equivalent scope. \nHands-on expertise in card-present, in-store payment environments - POS and ECR integration, payment terminals, PIN entry, contactless/NFC, and the in-store transaction lifecycle. \nDeep working knowledge of both semi-integrated and fully integrated payment application architectures, and the practical trade-offs between them for merchants and ISVs. \nDirect experience with EMV certification - L1/L2/L3, kernel and brand/acquirer certification - including realistic lead times, testing dependencies, and the effect of certification on release planning. \nWorking knowledge of the processor and acquirer certification ecosystem, including the practical difference between Class A certification and Class B listing, and what each requires operationally to complete. \nWorking familiarity with payment security and compliance frameworks relevant to in-store applications: PCI PTS, PCI DSS, P2PE, tokenization, and key management. \nExperience with Android-based payment device platforms and the migration of legacy terminal application estates onto them. \nTechnical fluency \nAble to read and interrogate a technical specification, API contract, or integration guide and hold a substantive, credible debate with engineering on design and feasibility. \nComfortable with API-level integration concepts, terminal SDKs, host/processor message specifications, and estate/device management tooling. \nProcess & tooling \nHigh fluency in Jira and Confluence for backlog, roadmap, requirements, and program management - these are the operating tools of the role, and the successful candidate will inherit and extend an existing documentation architecture in both. \nComfortable working with Salesforce pipeline data and quarterly grooming models to connect commercial forecast to roadmap capacity. \nStrong Agile/Scrum experience operating as product owner across multiple concurrent scrum teams. \nDemonstrated ability to author PRDs and to support BRD development for enterprise customer implementations. \nPreferred Qualifications\nDirect familiarity with Verifone's payment application and platform portfolio - SCA, AGPA, XPI, VHQ - and with Verifone device families. \nExperience spanning payment gateway products and their interlock with terminal-resident applications. \nExperience serving ISV and VAR channels alongside direct enterprise retail, QSR, and financial institution customers. \nExperience managing product-side strategic partnerships with processors, acquirers, or platform partners, including joint solution definition and shared certification programs. \nBackground in New Product Introduction and hardware/software readiness sequencing for regional launches. \nFamiliarity with cellular carrier certification for payment devices (AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon), including network sunset planning. \nExposure to MPoC/SoftPOS, mobile acceptance, or unattended and self-checkout payment environments. \nPrior experience operating in a global product organization with regional go-to-market accountability. \nExperience establishing product operations discipline - intake, prioritization frameworks, capacity planning - where none previously existed. \nOur Commitment\nVerifone is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status. Verifone is also committed to compliance with all fair employment practices regarding citizenship and immigration status.","description_format":"text","description_chars":10160,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Commerce","Manufacturing","Natural Language Processing","Payment Processing & Gateways"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-21T18:27:29Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 10","filings_12m":10,"filings_prev_12m":16,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":142500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-29T16:27:21+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":3}],"liveness":{"score":78,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.864,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":37,"expected_fill_days":60,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-10-29T05:49:05Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/verifone-product-manager-payment-solutions-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/verifone-product-manager-payment-solutions-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-29T17:23:50Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":26033,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-30T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":445895},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=445895"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fverifone-product-manager-payment-solutions-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fverifone-product-manager-payment-solutions-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fverifone-product-manager-payment-solutions-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/verifone-product-manager-payment-solutions-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fverifone-product-manager-payment-solutions-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":1096359}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"verifone.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":1096359},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
