Using secure data and networks, partnerships and passion, our innovations and solutions help individuals, financial institutions, governments, and businesses realize their greatest potential. The Director, Exposure Management & Secure Development is responsible for leading Mastercard’s transition from traditional vulnerability management to a modern, risk‑ and exposure‑based security program. This role owns the strategy, execution, and evolution of enterprise exposure management capabilities, spanning vulnerability operations, secure development (SAST/SCA), and risk intelligence, with a focus on prioritization, business impact, and measurable risk reduction. This leader will partner closely with Technology, Product, Engineering, and Risk stakeholders to ensure security findings are translated into actionable insights, aligned remediation priorities, and improved security outcomes across the enterprise. Overview As Mastercard continues to scale its digital platforms and services, managing cyber risk requires more than identifying vulnerabilities — it requires understanding exposure, exploitability, and business impact. The Exposure Management & Secure Development team is accountable for transforming how security risk is identified, contextualized, and addressed across the enterprise. This includes moving away from siloed vulnerability scanning and static reporting toward a unified exposure management model that integrates application, infrastructure, and software supply chain risk. The Director will lead multi‑disciplinary teams responsible for vulnerability operations and secure development practices, while driving modernization across data, tooling, metrics, and engagement models.
