Our Purpose
Mastercard powers economies and empowers people in 200+ countries and territories worldwide. Together with our customers, we’re helping build a sustainable economy where everyone can prosper.

Title and Summary
Strategic Accounts Lead, Global Enterprise
Unit Services is a key differentiator for Mastercard, providing cutting-edge services that help our customers grow. Focused on thinking big and scaling fast around the globe, this agile team is responsible for end-to-end solutions for a diverse global customer base. Centered on data-driven technologies and innovation, these services include consulting, loyalty and marketing programs, business experimentation, and data-driven information and risk management services.
Mastercard is building the next generation of customer relevance. As foundation models, agentic systems, and generative interfaces reshape how enterprises engage their customers, technologies such as Dynamic Yield and others within our CA&E portfolio act as the decisioning and composition layer—turning raw AI capability into relevant, governed, and measurable experiences across every channel: app, web, branch, kiosk, contact center, and messaging.
The Global Enterprise Unit leads our most complex, custom, and strategic customer engagements, including Tier 1 global retailers, financial institutions, and QSR networks. This role represents the first hire into a newly formed global pod.
Reporting to the VP, Global Enterprise Unit, you will work closely with the VP across a concentrated portfolio of flagship global engagements, while progressively expanding into independent ownership of defined workstreams and sub-accounts.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
