Jobbeschreibung

The Verification squad sits at the heart of SumUp's ability to operate across 37 markets. We own the systems that determine whether a merchant's identity is verified, whether that verification meets the regulatory bar in every market we operate in, and whether the decisions made along the way are auditable and defensible. This isn't a coordination role — it's a high-ownership position where you'll set the product direction for a domain that is legally complex, strategically important, and actively transforming. If you want to own something that genuinely matters — where your decisions shape compliance outcomes, merchant experience, and platform capability simultaneously — this is that role.

What you'll do

• Define and lead the product strategy for the verification platform, sequencing compliance obligations, platform modernisation, and merchant experience improvements with clear intent.
• Own the regulatory surface across multiple markets — monitoring evolving KYC/KYB, AML, and eIDAS requirements and converting them into structured, buildable scope before they become blockers.
• Make the hard calls where UX and backend decisions conflict, holding coherence across the full product surface and owning the outcome when trade-offs are required.
• Run lean, autonomous discovery — synthesising user research, data signals, and regulatory guidance into decision‑ready artefacts independently.
• Co‑lead the squad alongside a strong Engineering Manager, driving platform modernisation and reducing technical debt deliberately.

You'll be great for this role if

• Proven experience as a product manager in a regulated fintech or financial services environment, with direct ownership of KYC, KYB, or identity verification products across multiple markets.
• Strong ability to manage complex, multi‑stakeholder environments — including Legal, AML, Compliance, Risk, and Operations — negotiating scope with credibility and care, and holding the line when it matters.
• Technical depth to interrogate backend architecture decisions, API design trade‑offs, and third‑party vendor capabilities, and to make coherent product calls across the full stack.
• Data fluency: comfortable defining metrics, interrogating dashboards, and using quantitative signals to inform prioritisation and planning.
• Track record of arriving at planning conversations with evidence‑backed proposals and the organisational confidence to defend them.

Why you should join SumUp

• Opportunity to work with SumUppers globally on large‑scale fintech products used by millions of businesses worldwide, from our modern Sofia office. This involves an office‑first setup.
• Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion: be part of a workplace that values and promotes diversity, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone's perspectives are respected and embraced.
• Enrolment onto our Virtual Stock Option programme: you will own a stake in SumUp's future success.
• A dedicated annual L&D budget of €2000 and 10 paid days of educational leave which can be used to attend conferences and/or advance your career through further education.
• Generous time off: 25 days of paid leave, plus one extra day per year of service (up to 35), along with public holidays and special leave options.
• Peace of mind: additional health insurance and life insurance.
• Stay active: on-site yoga and a co‑sponsored Multisport card offering access to hundreds of sports facilities.
• Meal support: benefit from a tax‑free food voucher program plus flexibility via our Re:Benefits platform.
• Easy commute: free shuttle buses connecting directly to Joliot‑Curie metro station.
• Break4me: 1‑month sabbatical after 3 years of service.
• Referral Bonus: earn additional rewards by referring talented individuals to join the SumUp team.
