What the job involves
- The Mid-Market segment represents nearly one-third of U.S. GDP and is growing at ~12% year-over-year
- These businesses are a critical engine of economic growth - driving innovation, job creation, and resilience
- Yet, many - particularly in the lower Mid-Market - remain underserved: too complex for small business solutions, but not fully addressed by enterprise offerings
- To close this gap, Mastercard launched the Mid-Market Accelerator—a suite of purpose-built solutions tailored to this high-potential segment
- The U.S. Mid-Market team is leading this effort, building and scaling innovative, customer-centric products that unlock growth for our customers while redefining the future of B2B commerce
- We are seeking a product leader to drive the next phase of product innovation and secular shift in B2B payments - advancing beyond traditional card products to a broader set of growth-oriented capabilities
- This role will focus on developing, scaling, and commercializing new Growth Products & Services, helping redefine how mid-market customers manage spend, optimize working capital, and operate their financial workflows
- This is a product-first role with accountability for identifying whitespace, shaping the roadmap, and driving end-to-end commercialization
- Drive secular shift in B2B payments by developing and scaling next-generation Growth Products & Services within the Mid-Market Accelerator suite of solutions
- Own product strategy and roadmap for growth capabilities, identifying unmet needs and whitespace opportunities
- Translate market and customer insights into new product concepts, features, and value propositions
- Lead product development lifecycle from ideation through commercialization, including positioning, packaging, and pricing
- Drive commercialization and adoption, partnering with sales and account teams to scale product usage and revenue
- Define and track product performance, including revenue, usage, and customer impact metrics
- Collaborate cross-functionally with global product, engineering and product sales teams to execute on roadmap priorities
- Engage directly with customers to validate product-market fit and continuously refine offerings
- Influence broader Mid-Market strategy, ensuring alignment with Mastercard’s long-term growth priorities
- Serve as a subject matter expert on emerging capabilities shaping acceptance and the future of mid-market financial management
Our take
Mastercard is in the global payments business, and operates the world's fastest payments processing network. Its products and solutions have become central to everyday commerce across the world, in activities ranging from shopping and travelling to running businesses.
As the economy has become more and more digitized, Mastercard has been a leading player in helping businesses and individuals across the globe embrace card payments and digital banking. One of the world's largest companies, its revenue has seen consistent gain in the last 20 years.
The challenge for modern payments companies is that payments are always changing, as seen in the astronomical rise of contactless payments over the last decade. Mastercard's acquisition of blockchain systems, and an overall focus on leveraging its technology towards a digital economy, has placed the company in good stead to keep up to date with current trends, like cryptocurrency, in the digitized payments world.
