Lead Product Development & Innovation:
o Partner with data science and engineering teams to develop advanced models (e.g., graph-based risk scoring, behavioral models, anomaly detection) to achieve desired outcomes
o Ensure solutions are scalable, explainable, and compliant across global markets
o Continuously improve model performance through feedback loops and ecosystem data

Commercialization & Client Adoption
o Drive global go-to-market strategy, positioning merchant risk scoring as a core component of Mastercard’s fraud and cyber portfolio
o Partner with Sales, Account Management, and regional teams to accelerate adoption across customer segments
o Articulate clear value propositions tied to reduced fraud losses, improved approval rates, and better customer outcomes

Ecosystem Leadership & Partnerships
o Influence industry standards and best practices in merchant risk and fraud prevention
o Identify build/buy/partner opportunities to accelerate capabilities

“So What” Impact:
You will directly shape how risk is understood and managed at the merchant level across the global payments ecosystem—reducing fraud and scams, improving trust in digital commerce, and unlocking sustainable growth for clients.

3) All About You

Product & Strategy Leadership

o Strong track record of defining vision and delivering commercially successful solutions at scale

Domain Expertise
o Understanding of issuer/acquirer ecosystems and how risk decisions are made across the transaction lifecycle
o Inquisitive personality capable of adapting to trends and circumstances, but challenges the status quo to identify new ways of working

o Ability to translate complex concepts and topics into clear business value and client impact, in a simple manner
