Lead Technical Program Manager - AI Foundations and Agents

Lead Technical Program Manager (L6)

AI Foundations & Agents

The AI Foundations & Agents team is responsible for accelerating the development and adoption of generative AI and agentic capabilities across Business & Market Insights (B&MI). Our mission is to enable product teams to bring intelligent, customer-facing experiences to market faster by providing shared platforms, reusable services, engineering enablement, and best practices.

Rather than having each product team independently solve the same foundational challenges, we develop common capabilities that reduce duplication, streamline implementation, and simplify the path from experimentation to production. We partner closely with product, engineering, architecture, and data teams across B&MI to create scalable foundations that allow teams to focus on delivering business value.

Technical Program Managers at Mastercard collaborate to define the how and when of strategic delivery. Within AI Foundations & Agents, this role serves as a key execution leader, helping the engineering team operate efficiently, deliver predictably, and continuously improve how work gets done.

We are seeking a Technical Program Manager who is passionate about operational excellence, engineering effectiveness, and cross-functional coordination. This individual will work closely with a development team to establish strong execution practices, drive delivery outcomes, and support the continued growth of AI capabilities across B&MI.
