We are looking for experienced technical program management professionals to join our team and help us build towards the future by constantly innovating and problem-solving. The ideal candidate is passionate about the customer experience journey, highly motivated, intellectually curious, analytical, and possesses an entrepreneurial mindset.

Our TPMs conceptualize, rationalize, and drive multiple, simultaneous projects to deliver engineering work across the portfolio in our Scrum execution model. In this role, you may drive the execution of a feature through the full stack or may drive a project which spans multiple teams and integrations, reporting meaningful status along the way. As a Senior TPM, you should be able to:

• Work across teams to organize and accelerate delivery by ensuring all teams are delivering in a coordinated manner, identifying and removing blockers, and always finding the path forward in challenging situations.
• Understand the business strategy and design approaches within product, program, or domain with depth to be credible and effective with teams you work with. Act as first point of contact for your team or area and the source of truth for status, providing the right information and associated data about the state of the project to the right audience at the right time.
• Regularly review metrics and proactively seek out new and improved data/mechanisms for visibility, ensuring your program stays aligned with organization objectives.
• Proactively manage all dependencies, ensuring all outputs are production ready at time of launch.
• Proactively identify risks & issues and ensure mitigation efforts are being carried out throughout the software development lifecycle.
• Keep abreast of evolving technology landscape. Can ask the right questions to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of designs (scalability, latency, security, performance, data integrity, etc.).
• Work with ambiguity and with limited guidance – able to get the inertia out and the project in motion.

All activities involving access to Mastercard assets, information, and networks comes with an inherent risk to the organization and, therefore, it is expected that every person working for, or on behalf of, Mastercard is responsible for information security and must:

• Abide by Mastercard's security policies and practices;
• Ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the information being accessed;
• Report any suspected information security violation or breach, and
• Complete all periodic mandatory security trainings in accordance with Mastercard's guidelines.
