Title and Summary

Early Career Learning & Development Manager

At Mastercard, early-career talent is essential to building the capabilities, leadership pipeline, and workforce our business will need for the future. The Early Career Learning & Development Manager plays a critical role in shaping how new campus graduate hires-known as Launchers-transition from campus to corporate life and build the skills, confidence, networks, and business understanding needed to thrive during their first 18 months.

This role helps architect and manage a cohesive, global development journey that connects orientation, in-person bootcamps, ongoing learning experiences, check-ins, manager enablement, and opportunities for applied development. Working across Learning & Development, Talent, Campus Recruiting, business leaders, managers, and HR business partners, the L&D Manager ensures that Launcher experiences are integrated, scalable, and aligned with enterprise talent priorities.

The L&D Manager stays attuned to emerging priorities and strategic direction for the future of early-career development. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into how work is performed, this role will contribute insights that support strategy development and translate the evolving strategy into relevant Launcher experiences. The L&D Manager will connect these priorities to their day-to-day work, helping advance development experiences that enable Launchers to use new tools effectively while strengthening the judgment, adaptability, technical and AI fluency, human skills, and business capabilities needed for long-term career growth and future leadership or specialist pathways.

• Coordinate cross-functional and regional teams to deliver high-quality orientation sessions, bootcamps, cohort experiences, ongoing learning, and development check-ins
• Serve as the central connector across interdependent workstreams, ensuring clarity of roles, timely decisions, consistent execution, and a seamless participant experience
• Monitor progress, participation, quality, and delivery risks; adjust plans and implement corrective actions as needed
• Strategic Foresight & Future-Ready Early Careers
• Monitor how AI, automation, emerging technologies, and changing business models are reshaping entry-level roles, skills, and career pathways
• Translate external research, workforce insights, and business needs into recommendations for how Mastercard should evolve Launcher development
• Identify capabilities and experiences that must be developed more intentionally as traditional entry-level tasks change, including judgment, critical thinking, relationship-building, business acumen, adaptability, AI fluency, and oversight of AI-enabled work
• Pilot and scale new approaches-such as applied assignments, simulations, mentoring, rotations, and cross-functional exposure-that preserve meaningful pathways for learning and progression
• Talent Strategy & Leadership Pipeline Integration
• Connect the Launcher development strategy with broader enterprise talent priorities, workforce planning, skills strategies, internal mobility, and leadership pipeline development
• Partner with Campus Recruiting, Talent Management, Global Skilling, People Analytics, HR, and business leaders to align hiring, onboarding, development, performance, and career progression
