What We'll Bring

TransUnion’s Global Solutions organization was formed in May 2019 with the mission to build world class product management capabilities for TransUnion. Our team is comprised primarily of product managers responsible for product strategy and roadmaps, solutions consultants supporting sales teams, and commercial success resources enabling go-to-market excellence of our solutions. At the highest level, our success is dependent on helping the regional and vertical teams achieve growth through product-based innovation, commercialization and global scale.
