Director, Specialist Sales

Overview:

About Mastercard Identity

Mastercard Identity (formerly Ekata) helps the world's largest companies see through fraud before it happens. Our API and web-based portal products deliver identity enrichment data that sharpens the precision and recall of customers' fraud models, processes, and rules, cutting third-party and identity fraud, reducing false positives, and increasing automation so fewer good customers get held for manual review.

Mastercard Identity is looking for a Director, Specialist Sales, to backfill an open territory on our Enterprise team.

ROLE:

This role is within the Mastercard Identity organization and will be focused on the largest online businesses and Fintechs.

• Own new-logo acquisition and expansion across a named book of Enterprise accounts.
• Sell directly to Fraud, Payment Risk, and Trust & Safety leaders who own the build vs. buy decision on identity data.
• Run point-of-view-led, consultative sales cycles that connect Mastercard -Identity's data to a prospect's specific fraud loss, false-positive, and automation problems.
• Operate collaboratively within Mastercard's broader account relationship model, partnering with regional Mastercard account teams and Identity's central Product & Technology teams to close and expand deals.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Prospect and self-source pipeline into net-new Enterprise accounts in fraud-intensive industries (marketplaces, e-commerce, gaming, financial services, on-demand/gig platforms).
• Build and defend a qualified pipeline using a structured qualification framework, with clear economic buyers, business consequences, and decision timelines on every deal.
• Multi-thread every opportunity: no single-threaded deals carried into forecast.
• Navigate technical and business buyers (fraud ops, data science, engineering, risk leadership) to build consensus and drive adoption.
• Represent Mastercard Identity at industry events and with prospects as a trusted advisor on identity fraud trends and the regulatory landscape.
• Forecast accurately and manage a rolling pipeline against quota, in partnership with sales leadership.

EXPERIENCE

• Enterprise selling/hunting experience, carrying and exceeding an individual new-business quota against large ($500M+ revenue) accounts.
• Direct selling experience in fraud, payments, or identity, ideally with API/data products sold to technical and risk buyers.
• Track record of running consultative, multi-threaded sales cycles with Fraud, - - - Payment Risk, or Trust & Safety leaders, not just IT or procurement.
• Comfortable navigating long, technical sales cycles involving data science and engineering evaluation.
• Ability to build pipeline independently rather than relying primarily on inbound or SDR-sourced leads.
