The Recorded Future integration team is looking for a Director, Integration Initiatives / Special Projects to lead a select portfolio of high-priority initiatives that sit across multiple functions, organizations, and leaders. As Mastercard and Recorded Future continue to integrate and identify new opportunities for growth, this role will bring structure, accountability, and momentum to initiatives where ownership is distributed and end-to-end outcomes require strong cross-functional orchestration. The ideal candidate will be intellectually curious, commercially minded, highly collaborative, and comfortable operating in ambiguity. Success requires the ability to understand underlying business issues, shape recommendations, align stakeholders, drive decisions, escalate risks, and transition work into the appropriate long-term business owner once the operating model is established. Role
In this position, you will help identify, shape, and incubate initiatives that create long-term growth for Recorded Future within Mastercard, including data strategy, commercialization approaches, product adjacency opportunities, AI-enabled offerings, and other cross-portfolio opportunities. Work with Product and Strategy teams to establish the initial roadmap and operating model before transitioning ownership into the appropriate business function. • Lead a portfolio of strategic, cross-functional initiatives that are critical to the long-term success of the Mastercard and Recorded Future partnership.
• Drive initiatives from initial assessment and recommendation through planning, execution, operationalization, and handoff to long-term business owners.
• Create structure, accountability, and momentum in areas where ownership spans multiple organizations, leaders, or functional teams.
• Partner across Product, Strategy, Sales, Marketing, Communications, Finance, Legal, Engineering, Public Sector, and Integration teams to align objectives, clarify dependencies, and move work forward.
• Facilitate executive decision-making by identifying risks, dependencies, tradeoffs, and clear recommendations.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, coordinating activities across stakeholder groups and helping translate strategic intent into executable plans.
• Create executive-ready updates, recommendations, and progress reports that enable timely decisions and maintain visibility into priority work. All About You
The ideal candidate for this position should:
• Be comfortable operating in ambiguity and creating clarity where priorities, ownership, and decision rights are still evolving.
• Bring advanced stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence across senior leaders and cross-functional teams without relying solely on formal authority.
• Demonstrate strong strategic judgment, including the ability to diagnose business issues, frame options, assess tradeoffs, and guide leaders toward decisions.
• Be highly organized and execution-oriented, with a track record of moving complex, enterprise-level work from concept to implementation.
• Communicate complex topics clearly and succinctly through executive-ready written updates, recommendations, roadmaps, and decision materials.
• Show curiosity about cyber, intelligence, payments, public sector, and adjacent growth opportunities, with the ability to quickly learn new business domains.
• Model Mastercard values and bring a collaborative, practical, and enterprise-minded approach to building durable operating models. Corporate Security Responsibility
