Title And Summary
Director, AI & Data Strategy - Product Manager, Privacy Enhancing Technologies
Director, AI & Data Strategy - Product Manager, Privacy Enhancing Technologies
Overview
As Product Manager for the Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) Toolkit within the AI and Data Office, you will own the product vision, roadmap, and delivery outcomes for Mastercard's PETenabled capabilities. Your role is to ensure these capabilities evolve into scalable, adoptionready products that enable teams to meet data privacy, protection, and governance expectations efficiently and consistently across the data and AI lifecycle.
You will work closely with data science, engineering, privacy, security, and risk teams to translate regulatory requirements and privacypreserving data collaboration needs into clear, outcomefocused product capabilities. A core measure of success is your ability to drive measurable adoption, reduce privacy and governance friction, and standardize PET execution through welldesigned product features.
This role also supports government and publicsector initiatives, ensuring that policy, regulatory, and datasovereignty intent is reflected in product requirements and reusable, scalable implementation patterns.
(Role)
This is a handson product leadership role focused on shaping and executing the roadmap for Mastercard's PETs Toolkit and related productized capabilities. You will act as the single accountable product owner, defining what problems the toolkit solves, for whom, and in what sequence, aligned with broader data governance, privacy, and trust priorities.
You will partner with Solution Architects and Delivery Specialists to move from ambiguous privacy and data governance requirements to clearly scoped, adoptionready product increments—balancing speed, risk, usability, and regulatory defensibility. You are expected to apply Mastercard product management discipline: staying solutionagnostic, prioritizing outcomes over implementation, and engaging privacy and governance stakeholders early and continuously.
You will lead through influence, align multiple teams around a shared roadmap, and represent the product in crossfunctional and executive forums, while remaining close to execution and adoption outcomes.
Product Strategy & Roadmap
Own and maintain the product vision and roadmap for the PETs Toolkit, aligned to Mastercard's data governance and privacy frameworks.
Translate governance stages (e.g., risk assessment, control verification, monitoring) and privacy requirements (e.g., data minimization, restricted access, crossparty data collaboration) into clear product capabilities with defined success metrics.
Identify opportunities to productize PETenabled capabilities such as synthetic data, cleanroomstyle analytics, and privacycontrolled model development workflows. Prioritize features based on customer impact, privacy risk reduction, scalability, regulatory defensibility, and reuse across teams and jurisdictions.
Requirements & Product Execution
Define solutionagnostic product requirements, epics, and acceptance criteria that enable engineering teams to deliver consistent, compliant PETenabled capabilities. Partner with engineering and data science teams throughout the delivery lifecycle to ensure requirements are understood, testable, and aligned with privacy and governance expectations. Ensure product releases are adoptionready, including documentation, onboarding guidance, and evidence outputs required by privacy, security, and risk reviewers.
Stakeholder & Governance Collaboration
Act as the primary product interface to Privacy, Security, and Risk teams, embedding PET requirements early rather than treating them as approval gates. Facilitate tradeoff discussions between usability, privacy protection, data utility, coverage, and operational burden, making clear and defensible prioritization decisions. Communicate roadmap intent, changes, and outcomes clearly to senior stakeholders.
Government & Regulatory Enablement
Support government and publicsector initiatives by translating regulatory, datasovereignty, and policy requirements into product features and reusable patterns. Ensure PETenabled capabilities can operate across varied deployment constraints (e.g., restricted data environments, sovereign platforms, vendorhosted solutions) without fragmenting the product.
Adoption & Product Outcomes
Drive internal adoption by understanding customer workflows (data scientists, AI product teams, governance and privacy reviewers) and reducing friction across privacydriven processes. Define and track product success metrics such as privacy and governance turnaround time reduction, reuse of standardized evidence artefacts, and adoption of privacypreserving workflows. Identify opportunities to standardize, simplify, or automate PET activities through product enhancements.
(All About You)
Must Have
Proven experience as a Product Manager / Product Lead for AI, data, platform, or governance tooling in complex enterprise environments. Strong ability to translate privacy, data governance, and regulatory requirements into product capabilities that reduce friction while maintaining robust controls and traceability.
