Overview

Driving growth in B2B payments in Asia with new customers is amongst our highest priorities and greatest opportunities. Deepening our participation in carded commercial POS flows and B2B accounts payable flows is essential to realizing our ambitions in capturing new payments flows.

While the opportunity is significant, these are new areas for us that will require new product offerings and go-to-market strategies, informed by the input and active participation of our customers who are most focused on this space, while also building new capabilities and relationships needed to increase revenue growth.

Mastercard is creating a new global business development team in Asia to drive our expansion into business-to-business payments in the Large & Mid-Market corporate segment, solving for their payment needs across the procurement cycle with current and future platforms and products and making our multi-rail vision a reality for B2B payments. The focus of this team is building and expanding the two-sided network of Buyers & Suppliers to deliver accelerated GDV & Revenue growth in our Large and Mid-Market Corporate segments.

The Director, Business and Market Development position is responsible to deliver GDV & Net Revenue KPIs against the customers that are allocated to their portfolio.
