This is a high-visibility role that combines pricing standard awareness with strong coordination and influencing skills.

• Coordinate with Global and regional teams to help shape and maintain pricing frameworks and playbooks.
• Act as the central coordination point across Customer Economics, Regulatory, Legal, Franchise, Global Pricing & Interchange, and the Product and Services pricing teams.

• Monitor progress against milestones and deadlines, flag risks early, and drive issues to resolution.
• Prepare and present concise updates and recommendations for senior management and governance forums.
• Champion a culture of compliance and continuous improvement across the pricing community.

All About You
The ideal candidate:

• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills, able to align diverse teams around common goals
• Excellent communicator, able to translate complex regulatory topics into clear actions for all audiences
• Collaborative and comfortable leading through influence
• Well organized, able to manage multiple workstreams and deadlines in parallel
• Proactive, reliable, and accountable, with a bias for driving things to closure
• 6+ years of experience in pricing, regulatory compliance, or project management, ideally within payments or financial services but not required.
• Excellent English communication skills (verbal and written). Additional languages is a plus.
• Strong team player, hands-on, with a good sense of humour
