Title and Summary
– Design and execute Mastercard's European government cybersecurity engagement strategy, in close coordination with the SVP, regional, and country teams.
– Build and maintain high-level relationships with key European institutions and bodies — including the European Commission (DG CNECT, DG HOME), ENISA, NATO, Europol's EC3, national cybersecurity agencies (BSI, ANSSI, NCSC-UK, CCN, and others), and relevant multilateral forums.
– Represent Mastercard in European cybersecurity policy forums, working groups, and industry dialogues — advancing the company's thought leadership and securing speaking and advisory roles at key events.
– Work with government affairs and regional teams to understand European cybersecurity policy developments and how to translate these into strategic insights and opportunities for Mastercard.
– Identify and develop opportunities for Mastercard's cybersecurity capabilities to address European government priorities, partnering closely with product and sales teams to develop credible, tailored value propositions.
– Develop and deliver high-quality briefings, reports, and executive communications tailored to European government and institutional audiences.

– Serve as the primary point of contact for European government and institutional inquiries related to Mastercard's cybersecurity capabilities and engagement. About You:
– Extensive years of experience in cybersecurity, international affairs, or European public policy — with meaningful direct experience engaging with European institutional or government stakeholders.
– Deep familiarity with the European cybersecurity landscape, including the roles and priorities of key EU institutions, NATO structures, and national cyber agencies across major member states.
– Strong existing network across European government, institutional, and industry cybersecurity stakeholders.
– Fluency in the European regulatory environment as it relates to cybersecurity, data, and critical infrastructure protection.
– Ability to operate with credibility and influence in both multilateral institutional settings and bilateral government relationships.
– Demonstrated experience identifying strategic opportunities and translating them into tangible outcomes — whether partnerships, joint initiatives, or commercial pathways.
– Experience in cybersecurity, financial services, critical infrastructure, and/or technology sectors preferred.
– Multilingual capability preferred; strong command of English required.
– Prior experience working with or within the private sector on European government-facing initiatives a significant advantage.
– Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree in international relations, European affairs, cybersecurity, or public policy preferred. WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
Success in this role means Mastercard has a visible, credible, and valued presence in Europe's most important cybersecurity conversations, from Brussels to Berlin to London and beyond. This individual will be measured by the quality and seniority of relationships built, the frequency and impact of Mastercard's engagement in key forums, the quality of strategic intelligence flowing back into the organization, and, working alongside sales and product colleagues, the emergence of well-positioned commercial opportunities that reflect Mastercard's unique value to European governments.
