  • Communicate global payment trends, rules, and regulations with internal stakeholders.
  • Guide your team in the development of new products in partnership with the product managers.
  • Oversee escalations and ensure resolutions with the right teams at the payment networks.
  • Work with global peers to review Scheme updates, share perspectives, and seek clarity.

Who you are:

  • 10+ years of related experience in Card, Wallet, or Bank Payments. 
  • International experience preferred but not necessary 
  • Experience in building and managing relationships with external senior business leaders and across partner organizations.
  • Proficient in understanding the payments landscape, with the skills to comprehend and interpret emerging trends.
  • Excellent written/verbal communication skills and an experienced presenter.
  • Adept at managing a team and fostering a collaborative environment.
  • Comfortable and self-sufficient operating within a complex global environment.
  • Full professional proficiency in English.

Minimum qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent.
  • Experience in leading teams and managing partnerships.
