Who is Mastercard?

Mastercard is a global technology company in the payments industry. Our mission is to connect and power an inclusive, digital economy that benefits everyone, everywhere by making transactions safe, simple, smart, and accessible. Using secure data and networks, partnerships, and passion, our innovations and solutions help individuals, financial institutions, governments, and businesses realize their greatest potential.

Overview

Across North America (U.S. & Canada), Small, and Medium Businesses (SMEs) are essential to economic growth, contributing significantly to employment and GDP. However, small businesses often face payment inefficiencies, relying on manual, cash, and check-based transactions that limit growth and financial access.
Mastercard is dedicated to enabling businesses to grow and thrive in a digital-first economy. Our rallying cry is “Empowering Every Business, Everywhere”—this segment is central to Mastercard’s growth strategy, given its importance in the payments ecosystem as both payers and acceptors of electronic transactions.

• Represent Mastercard at industry events, conferences, and networking opportunities to enhance brand visibility and establish thought leadership in the SME space.
• Track and analyze performance metrics, adjusting sales tactics and strategies as needed to exceed growth targets.
Product Management
• Support go-to-market execution by collaborating with product, marketing, and partnerships teams to enhance Mastercard’s SME solutions.
• Analyze market trends, competition, and SME lifecycle journeys to inform product and sales strategies, driving differentiation and innovation.
• Identify and drive partnership opportunities to improve value propositions and expand distribution channels.
• Identify and drive innovation in B2B and supply chain finance, integrating Mastercard’s capabilities with key industry players.
