You’ll own product delivery and roadmap for card-present acquiring across all merchant segments (SME → enterprise) in the UAE. Your remit includes driving in-person payment acceptance products through card-scheme certifications, third-party integrations and strategic partnerships, and ensuring excellent merchant experience across all touch points.

Key responsibilities

• Own end-to-end product lifecycle for card-present acquiring and POS (hardware & soft-POS) across SME and enterprise merchants.
• Drive in-person payment acceptance in the UAE through card-scheme certifications, third-party integrations and strategic partnerships (acquirers, processors, device vendors, ISVs).
• Define and prioritise the product roadmap, success metrics and P&L outcomes for acquiring.
• Lead discovery and requirements capture with merchants and channel partners for attended and unattended card-present payment experiences.
• Specify integrations (ECRs, POS firmware/APIs, payment orchestration, partners) and own technical handoffs to engineering and partners.
• Actively support pre-sales, marketing and operations — produce GTM packs, sales enablement materials and operational runbooks to ensure best customer experience at every touch point.
• Work with risk, compliance and legal to meet local regulatory and legal requirements for all products/features.
• Monitor authorization rates, declines, onboarding times and merchant NPS — drive continuous improvements.
• Enable channel partners and ISVs with clear integration guides, certification assistance and partner programmes.
  
  
  

Must-have experience

• 3–6+ years in product management within EMV payments, merchant acquiring, or POS ecosystems — direct card-present acquiring experience required.
• Proven track record in the Dubai / UAE market (merchant landscape, acquirers, PSPs, regulatory expectations).
• Experience delivering omni-channel solutions for SME and enterprise merchants (in-store POS, soft-POS/SDKs, mobile, web).
• Practical experience managing card-scheme certification processes and third-party integrations.
• Strong stakeholder management across commercial, engineering, operations, risk and partner teams.
