Title and Summary

Principal Security Monitoring Response Analyst - Global Crisis Management Overview

Mastercard's Corporate Security team protects the trust that underpins every transaction in our global network. Within this mission, the Global Fusion & Intelligence program leads the global network of Fusion Centers, enterprise crisis response, threat intelligence operations, and our forward-looking Threatcasting mission.

The Principal Crisis Manager is a senior operational leader responsible for coordinating Mastercard's enterprise-level response to global crises and major incidents, ensuring the safety of our people, the protection of our assets, and the continuity of critical operations. The role requires exceptional composure, sound judgment, and the ability to lead decisively through ambiguity and pressure. The successful candidate will demonstrate a high degree of resilience, emotional intelligence, and the capacity to perform under demanding, fast-moving conditions.

While Mastercard operates a follow-the-sun model for global coverage, there will be scenarios that require support and leadership outside standard business hours, including nights, weekends, or holidays. The Principal Crisis Manager must be prepared to respond rapidly, think strategically, and maintain calm and clarity when the stakes are highest.

• Provide timely and accurate briefings to senior executives, translating complex information into clear, actionable insights that drive enterprise decisions.
• Design and lead crisis simulations and tabletop exercises with Mastercard leadership, regulators, and external partners to strengthen organizational resilience.
• Capture and implement lessons learned from real incidents and exercises to enhance readiness and response maturity.
• Build and sustain strong partnerships with law enforcement, government agencies, and industry partners such as FS-ISAC, INTERPOL, and Europol to ensure unified crisis coordination and shared situational awareness.
• Develop and report key performance metrics that measure enterprise readiness and demonstrate continuous improvement in resilience capabilities.
• Mentor and guide regional crisis managers and analysts, promoting collaboration, accountability, and a culture of excellence across the global crisis management community.

Qualifications

• Extensive experience in crisis management, intelligence, emergency management, or related operational leadership within a global or highly regulated organization.
• Proven success leading enterprise or multi-region incident response and business continuity programs.
• Deep understanding of global regulatory and operational resilience frameworks within financial services.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with the ability to brief and influence executive leadership under pressure.
• Demonstrated ability to foster cross-functional collaboration and decision-making across diverse teams, time zones, and cultures.
• Experience engaging with public-private partnerships, intelligence networks, or law enforcement agencies is strongly preferred.
• Advanced degree or professional certifications (such as CBCP, CEM, PMP, or equivalent) are desirable.
