What You'll Do

• Own the product strategy and roadmap for key digital wallet experiences, setting priorities and identifying opportunities to create greater value for our customers and the business.
• Shape the end-to-end customer experience across the digital wallet journey, from adding and managing a Card to using it for everyday payments and emerging commerce experiences.
• Lead product relationships with strategic technology partners, including Apple and Samsung, shaping joint priorities and identifying opportunities to evolve and expand our wallet experiences.
• Bring new products and capabilities from concept to market, working across engineering, design, analytics, marketing, servicing, risk, legal, compliance, and other teams to deliver at scale.
• Drive critical product decisions and tradeoffs, balancing customer value, business impact, technical complexity, partner priorities, and risk.
• Lead execution across complex initiatives, navigating dependencies, removing obstacles, managing risks, and ensuring teams remain aligned from development through launch.
• Measure and improve product performance, using customer feedback, behavioral data, experimentation, and market insights to identify opportunities and continuously improve the experience.
• Build alignment and influence across the organization, communicating recommendations, decisions, progress, and results to senior leaders and stakeholders across American Express.
• Anticipate what’s next in digital payments, monitoring changes in technology, customer behavior, and the competitive landscape and translating them into opportunities for American Express.

Qualifications

What We're Looking For

Minimum Qualifications:

• 5+ years of digital product management experience, with a track record of successfully building and launching high-impact digital products or experiences.

• A highly customer-centric mindset, with strong instincts for what makes an exceptional digital experience and a willingness to challenge existing approaches when there is a better way.
• Intellectual curiosity and systems thinking, with an ability to connect seemingly disparate customer, technology, market, and business signals and turn them into actionable insights.
• Adaptability and a test-and-learn mindset, with a willingness to experiment, seek feedback, learn quickly, and adjust course as new information emerges.
