What's Exciting About the Role

As the Global Unattended & Petro Hardware Product Manager, you will own the strategy, roadmap, and lifecycle of Verifone’s unattended and petroleum‑focused hardware platforms. This is a global role responsible for defining and evolving device portfolios used in kiosks, vending, transit, EV charging, fuel dispensers, and other unattended environments, with petroleum retail experience considered a strong advantage. 

Reporting to the Vice President of Hardware Product Management, you will evaluate market opportunities, customer needs, regulatory requirements, and technology trends to guide product investments from concept through launch and long‑term lifecycle management. Working closely with engineering, industrial design, platform software, certification, operations, sales, and marketing teams, you will ensure Verifone delivers scalable, compliant, and competitive hardware solutions across global markets. 

This is a hybrid role that will work out of our office in Alpharetta, GA or London, UK.
