Vice President, Product Ecosystem & Growth

Mastercard Economic Intelligence (EI) is looking for a strategic and execution-oriented Vice President, Product Ecosystem & Growth to own the vision, strategy, and delivery of our future interface while also leading new product development and innovation initiatives. This leader will operate at the intersection of technology, customer needs, and business strategy — scaling our foundational platform capabilities to unify the EI product suite while incubating and launching new products that unlock future growth.

The role requires equal parts platform thinking, product craft, business acumen, and entrepreneurial drive. You will partner closely with cross‑functional teams across the program and Mastercard to ensure the unified interface becomes a force multiplier for EI and a launchpad for innovation.

• Define and evolve the long‑term interface vision for EI
• Establish a clear roadmap balancing scalability, reliability, extensibility, and speed
• Drive modular, API‑first architecture thinking to enable product reuse and acceleration
• Partner with Engineering leadership on architecture, delivery sequencing, and technical trade‑offs
• Lead discovery and incubation of new product concepts
• Translate market opportunities into validated product hypotheses
• Run structured experimentation cycles (MVPs, pilots, beta programs) and transition validated innovations into scaled products
• Foster a culture of experimentation, accountability, and customer‑centric thinking
• Establish clear product development processes from discovery through scale

• Seasoned product management skillset, with experience building frontend and backend platforms
• Proven ability to build alignment across cross‑functional teams via collaboration and a low‑ego leadership style
• Familiarity with API strategy, data platforms, or shared services models and experience managing trade‑offs (e.g., scalability vs. speed vs. customization)
• Demonstrated success leading new product launches from 0 to 1
• Comfort using both structure and creativity to break down complex problems
• Ability to communicate ideas with eloquence and authenticity
