• Support delivery of pilots and market implementations, including collaborations with financial institutions, governments, technology partners, and consortium initiatives such as WE BUILD.
• Partner with engineering and global product teams to ensure European regulatory, customer, and market requirements are incorporated into product development, including alignment with eIDAS 2.0 and the EU Trust Framework.

• Work closely with global product and technology teams to translate identified opportunities into new product concepts, requirements and roadmap priorities.
• Engage with issuers, banks, merchants, wallet providers and other ecosystem participants to validate customer problems and potential propositions.
• Monitor developments across passkeys, FIDO standards, wallet authentication, tokenisation and emerging payment credentials and assess their implications for Mastercard’s value-added services.
