  • Prepare and disseminate comprehensive project status reports to all stakeholders, both internal and external, on a regular basis to ensure transparency and alignment throughout the project lifecycle.
  • Utilize advanced project management tools such as Gantt charts, risk matrices, and issue tracking systems to provide detailed insights into project progress, risks, and mitigation strategies.
  • Engage with external customers to ascertain solution requirements, conducting detailed needs assessments, leveraging technical specifications, and utilizing methodologies such as requirements elicitation and stakeholder analysis to ensure comprehensive understanding and alignment with project objectives.
  • Effectively manage and resolve issues and escalations throughout the project by utilizing appropriate issue tracking systems and escalation protocols.
  • Demonstrate the ability to provide technical support, including troubleshooting, to both customers and internal partners, ensuring technical issues are resolved efficiently.

Cross-functional Team Interaction:

  • Work with cross-functional teams and external customers across Asia Pacific markets, which may also include contact with the Mastercard Global Product team based in other regions.
  • Support for customers in their respective business time zones is necessary.
  • Adaptability to different time zones is essential for seamless communication and collaboration.
  • Use advanced communication tools and methodologies, such as asynchronous communication platforms (e.g., Microsoft Teams), project management software (e.g., Microsoft Project), and real-time collaboration tools (e.g., Microsoft Teams & Zoom) to facilitate effective interactions and maintain alignment across all stakeholders.

Collaborative Problem-Solving:

  • Collaborate with cross-functional partners to identify and remedy delivery pain points during product pilots, ensuring a smooth and successful rollout.
  • Continuously seek to identify opportunities for efficiency & control improvements, with the goal of implementing these enhancements whenever possible.
