Manager, B2B Partnerships. Operating worldwide, the Mastercard Verticals team leverages Mastercard’s assets to open new business in non-traditional sectors. The team partners with industry leading organizations to orchestrate new value, drive new solutions, or effect new partnerships to better serve end-customers, markets and ecosystems. The card and non-card, business-to-business (‘B2B’) payments space represents a significant new opportunity for Mastercard. If Mastercard is to deliver new value in this space, it needs to think big, be engaged and diligent to win the trust of end customers to help them support their corporate clients. The Verticals team has been developing global partnerships, a platform vision and an approach to address historic pain points around B2B Payments. We are also leading the way to transform B2B payments by embedding payments into the business process and create new value at multiple levels. The verticals team requires a team member to drive measurable customer success by working with and inside a key global partner alongside wider Mastercard teams and ecosystem stakeholders to support the partner in their sales outreach and client enablement. The colleague will be a dedicated resource inside one of Mastercard’s largest and key partners. This will be a highly visible and strategic role in the global verticals team at Mastercard.
