Associate-Digital Product Management

The Global Merchant and Network Services Product team is at the heart of American Express and is a core function within the Global Merchant and Network Services (GMNS) business unit. Each year, we power billions of transactions through our global payments network, serving our Issuing & Acquiring partners in more than 170 markets worldwide. We grow revenue by driving strategic, multi-year initiatives to deliver differentiated value to our merchants, partners, and customers.

The Global Merchant and Network Services Product team is responsible for the Network, the maintenance of existing functionality, the development of new products and services, and operations. Our solutions deliver value to American Express' Card Members, acquirers and partners across the globe, whether proprietary or third-party by facilitating secure and seamless transactions between American Express' issuers, acquirers and merchants. Our goal is to enable Card Members to pay however and wherever they choose. We deliver on these by setting the vision and strategy for the Network, anchoring our priorities into those of the enterprise, and developing and managing an associated set of products. We keep the customer perspective top-of-mind, factor in competition and regulatory trends, and apply an end-to-end product management approach (i.e., including strategy, roadmaps, scaling plans, business cases, success metrics, KPIs). We lead the end-to-end process, manage the end-to-end partner lifecycle and are also responsible for industry intelligence and engagement through various governing bodies.
