DETAILS OF THE ROLE AND HOW IT FITS INTO THE TEAM

Deutsche Bank has bundled its payments acceptance and issuing capabilities under its Merchant Solutions
division. The division’s products are supporting retail and commercial clients in navigating through challenges related to new and conventional means of payments. The Issuing business line, as part of Merchant Solutions, is driving the card-based payment business of Deutsche Bank.

Essentially, jointly designed products are marketed to customers of our corporate clients, thereby opening new market segments and platforms for the bank itself. The bank is aiming at a White Label Card Issuing offering, which is developed along key innovation trends in the payments/cards sphere and tailored for the specific needs of our corporate partners.
As a Product Development Manager, you will be a key driver of our growth initiatives, working with internal and
external stakeholders to bring new card-based payment features and ideas to life.
