Head of Payments (Product) - #7453266

WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THIS OPPORTUNITY

PagoNxt has the aim to consolidate payment businesses around the world through a differential value proposal in a business with great potential, creating the conditions and synergies to compete globally with the major international players in the sector.

Based on the unique value proposition and brand value of Getnet in Brazil, PagoNxt Merchant Solutions will be expanding the acquiring franchise to additional markets. Nowadays, Getnet is the third largest acquirer in Latam (Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, and Uruguay) and we already operate across all European markets.

To achieve this goal, we are building a cloud-based acquiring architecture in which products are built based on microservices and deployed at all markets, shortening time to market and improving value. To define and build up these products, services catalog and customer journeys, we aim to attract the best possible talent.

To achieve this goal, PagoNxt is organized into three different businesses:

• Merchant Solutions, for merchants and acquirers.
• Trade Solutions, for corporates and SMEs.
• Consumer Solutions, digital products and services for individuals.
