Partner with internal teams across Program Controls, Operations & Modernization (ProCOM) to identify and drive resolution of resiliency and performance issues.

Respond to consultative requests from regulators and government mandates, delivering technology assessments and solutions aligned with regulatory and resilience requirements.

Lead problem discovery, resolution planning, and risk mitigation efforts.

Utilize technology frameworks, tools, and methodologies to manage pipeline priorities, promote resilient architecture, and align IT strategy with business goals.

Monitor, record, and report delivery outcomes for executive-level presentations and dashboards.

All About You :

Proven ability to represent Mastercard Technologies as a trusted advisor and brand ambassador.

High energy, ownership mindset, and a strong drive to succeed, backed by analytical, technical, and strategic capabilities.

Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to define problem statements and guide stakeholders toward effective solutions.

Quick learner with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into business and regulatory language—and vice versa.

Excellent communication skills—verbal, written, and presentation—with the ability to lead challenging regulatory and business discussions.
