You will work closely with regional and global product, strategy, and functional teams to help translate Mastercard's global strategic priorities into tangible actions for our markets.

You will play a key role in connecting insights, strategy, and execution — ensuring our market strategies are aligned with Mastercard's overall direction and that our division stays ahead of emerging trends and opportunities in the payments landscape.

You will be part of a curious, diverse, and dynamic team consisting of account managers, business development, product managers, marketing, technical experts and consultants.

Things you do

• Support the setting up and management of cross-market strategic projects, ensuring alignment and smooth execution.

• Evaluate product-market fit for new payment solutions and support subsequent go-to-market strategies.

• Contribute to the development of collaboration models between markets, the division, and regional teams to enhance execution and knowledge sharing.

• Support the preparation of senior management materials, including business reviews, strategy updates, and committee presentations.

• Build and maintain reporting tools and performance dashboards that help track strategic initiatives and monitor divisional KPIs.

Things we expect

• Passion for strategy, innovation, and the payments ecosystem — ideally gained through prior experience in consulting, strategy, or business excellence (approx. 2–4 years).

• Strong analytical and conceptual skills, with the ability to synthesize data and translate insights into clear recommendations.

• Excellent command of business tools such as PowerPoint and Excel; experience with data visualization tools is a plus.

• Project management skills — ability to coordinate and deliver cross-functional projects.

• Strategic mindset combined with a hands-on, can-do attitude.

• Excellent communication and storytelling skills — able to present ideas clearly to different audiences.

• Curiosity, agility, and a real team-player attitude with the willingness to learn and grow.

• Fluent English; additional languages are an advantage.

• Ability to work effectively across a multicultural, matrix organization.

• Bachelor's or Master's or MBA degree in business, economics, finance, or a related field.

• You will be based in Warsaw (Poland) or Budapest (Hungary) with occasional travel required
