Vice President, Global Platforms – Open Finance

We are seeking a senior platform product leader to serve as Vice President, Global Platforms – Mastercard Open Finance. This role owns the platform product strategy and execution for the shared capabilities that power Mastercard’s Open Finance ecosystem—setting the vision, prioritizing investment, and driving measurable adoption, convergence, and business outcomes across markets.

The VP will define the platform roadmap across APIs, consent and permissioning, identity and access patterns, shared services, reliability, and compliance enablers, treating these as products with clear personas (internal product teams, developers, partners, and clients), value propositions, and success metrics. This role partners closely with Product, Engineering, Security, Legal, Regional Markets, Connectivity, and Commercial teams across Americas and APEMEA to scale capabilities that accelerate time‑to‑market, reduce cost‑to‑serve, and improve ecosystem trust.

• Define and lead the global platform product vision, strategy, and multi‑year roadmap, aligning investment to Open Finance growth priorities and regulatory requirements.
• Establish clear platform product portfolios (e.g., consent, data services, trust services), including positioning, target users, and go‑to‑market enablement in partnership with commercial teams.
• Own prioritization and trade‑offs across markets and products; translate strategy into sequenced outcomes, dependency management, and transparent communications.
• Define platform product requirements and guardrails (standards, data models, API contracts) that enable reuse while allowing necessary regional variation.

• Partner with Engineering leadership to deliver secure, highly available, and performant platform services at global scale, with clear product ownership and release discipline.
• Define and track platform success metrics (adoption, usage, latency/availability, integration time, cost‑to‑serve, incident rates) and drive continuous improvement against targets.
• Establish operating mechanisms for roadmap delivery (quarterly planning, OKRs, launch readiness, dependency management) to ensure predictable outcomes across regions.
• Drive modernization initiatives (cloud patterns, automation, observability) as product investments tied to reliability, speed, and scalability outcomes.

• Champion a developer‑first platform experience with world‑class APIs, documentation, SDKs, sandboxes, tooling, and self‑service onboarding.
• Design and run enablement programs for internal teams and external partners (reference implementations, integration guides, certification paths) to accelerate adoption and reduce integration effort.
• Engage with strategic partners to gather feedback, validate platform value, and evolve the roadmap based on real ecosystem needs.

• Embed trust‑by‑design as a platform product feature set (consent, permissioning, auditability, data minimization), partnering with Security, Privacy, Risk, and Legal.
• Translate regulatory and policy requirements into scalable platform controls, standards, and reusable patterns for product teams and regional implementations.
• Maintain accountability for platform‑level resilience and incident management, including risk‑based prioritization and post‑incident learning loops.

• Manage a global team of Directors in a multi‑layered structure.
• Lead and mentor platform product and technology leaders across geographies, building…
