UX Certification Officer – Remote-First

🚀 Be part of a movement to change the way Europe pays

In today’s digital Europe, payments still feel too complicated. Random delays, confusing rules, extra apps and accounts make it harder than it should be to pay and get paid.

The European Payments Initiative is changing that with Wero, a proudly European digital wallet to make payments easier, clearer and more secure. Online, in store, at home and across borders, with your money and data protected under European laws and regulations.

Wero is live in Belgium, France, Germany and the Netherlands and launching very soon in Luxembourg and Austria. Backed by 17 major banks and the two largest European acquirers, we’re building a brand new, proudly European payment system.

🔎 What's in it for you

Shape UX at European scale, not just for one app
As a UX Design Certification Officer for Member Apps, you will advise, guide and support our partner (member) banks across Europe in integrating Wero into their existing banking apps. You ensure that each implementation strikes the right balance between our design vision and the member’s own design system, resulting in experiences that are consistent, intuitive, and compliant. Through clear guidance, best practices, and ongoing collaboration, you enable members to deliver seamless integrations so that every user of Wero enjoys the same high-quality experience, regardless of the app, bank, or country they’re in.

🐝 About the team

You’ll join the Wero UX & Product team, at the crossroads of UX design, program follow‑up and stakeholder management.

You will work closely with:

• Member (banks, acceptors or merchants) UX and Product teams – your main partners to implement and refine the wero experience in their mobile banking apps.

• EPI Product & Design teams – to align on UX standards, bring back insights from implementations, and improve our guidelines and pattern library.

• Programme / Delivery teams – to track progress, manage dependencies and escalate risks when needed.

The team’s mission is to ensure that every bank’s implementation of wero is coherent, user‑friendly and aligned with our central UX standards, while keeping a constructive and pragmatic relationship with each member.

💥 Your impact

As a UX Design Advisor, you will:

• Coordinate UX certification for member banks: Maintain an up‑to‑date view of each bank’s UX status across features and countries, from first proposals to certified experiences, and keep stakeholders aligned.

• Review and challenge member designs against Wero standards: Compare member flows and UI with our central UX guidelines and pattern library, identify gaps and risks, and document clear, actionable feedback.

• Drive follow‑up and resolution of UX gaps: Coordinate feedback loops, clarifications and iterations with member banks, ensuring agreed improvements are implemented and re‑assessed until ready for certification.

• Enable banks with clear, practical materials: Contribute to guidelines, best‑practice examples, checklists, walkthrough videos and member‑facing decks that make our standards easy to understand and apply.

• Feed real‑world insights back into the product: Bring recurring issues, learnings and user feedback back to EPI product and design teams, and propose improvements to documentation, patterns and standards.

• Turn complex topics into simple messages: Translate UX and technical constraints into structured, accessible communication for non‑design stakeholders, and escalate blocking points in a timely, constructive way.

• Leverage user research and data: Organise or relay user research (e.g. usability tests, post‑launch feedback) and convert insights into concrete recommendations for member UX improvements.
