Project Support Officer

For
over
35
years,
we've
been
making
history.
Now,
we're
creating
the
future.

Techs on the beach:

On April 14, 1981, in Honolulu, Hawaii, William "Bill" Melton incorporated his new tech company. The original intention was to provide a recourse for retailers who'd been swindled by people handing out bad checks. Bill's product was a kind of verification device using phone lines—a verification phone.

But then a pivot. The credit card industry was relatively new at the time and processing was still being done with carbon paper. Bill saw a way to reduce costs for companies like Visa and MasterCard, while capitalizing on this new technology. Instead of verifying checks, his company would provide local businesses a means to electronically process credit card payments. And thus, the Verifone payment device was born.


Now, Verifone is one of the world's largest POS terminal vendors and a leading provider of payment and commerce solutions.

We operate in more than 150 countries and employ nearly 6,000 people globally.

Our steady growth has come organically, through a dedication to innovation and strategic partnerships, as well as from savvy acquisitions.


As a Project Support Officer, you will be expected to support the existing UK&I Projects Team with managing a multi-faceted project/account/campaign or multiple projects at the same time.

  • Undertake basic research and analysis in assigned project areas and contribute to the delivery as detailed in project briefs to support informed decision making and planning
  • Assist the project team to complete tasks and implement project plans to ensure agreed outcomes are achieved
  • Communicate with relevant stakeholders to provide updates regarding project status and implementation issues
  • Provide a range of administrative services, including coordinating meetings and preparing papers, to support project management delivery
