Overview

Mastercard is at the forefront of using open finance to build a more connected and inclusive financial ecosystem. Our Open Finance team drives innovation, enhances customer experiences, and enables secure, seamless access to financial data and services.

We believe open finance has the potential to empower consumers and businesses alike.

Role

We are seeking a strategic, results-driven Director of Product Commercialization to join our Open Finance product management team. You will own the commercialization, go-to-market (GTM) strategy, and execution for two products across the Americas:

• Transaction Notifications — A cardholder-consented API that delivers near real-time purchase data, enabling partners to build just-in-time experiences such as expense automation, activation campaigns, personalized rewards, and AI-driven insights.

This is a broad, high-ownership role. Beyond these two products, you will take on additional strategic, operational, and analytical responsibilities — including emerging Open Finance and adjacent services — that support the growth of the business across the Americas.

• Support customer conversations and sales engagements post-launch as needed.
• Work closely with Product, Sales, Marketing, and other cross-functional teams to execute the GTM plan.
• Support a variety of strategic projects and provide operational and analytical support for product and commercialization initiatives across the Americas.
