We are looking for an experienced TPM to join our team to help build and manage two high-profile products, Payment Optimization Platform (POP) and Mastercard Portfolio Advisor (Optimus). The ideal candidate is passionate about program and stakeholders' management, improving concurrent program delivery, highly motivated, intellectually curious, analytical and possesses a go-getter mindset.
ROLE
Our TPMs conceptualize, rationalize, and drive multiple, simultaneous projects to deliver engineering work across the portfolio in our Scrum execution model.

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.
Drive execution of an outcome from inception through successful delivery through the full stack of the services/domains, or an outcome that spans multiple teams and integration across the enterprise.
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.
