Job Title

Overview

ERM works collaboratively with business and functional management globally to increase awareness and understanding of the risks impacting the Companybility to achieve its strategy and objectives, and to use risk to create value and not only to protect value. A key responsibility of ERM is to help the organization identify and manage risks in such a way as to:

• reduce performance variability and respond more quickly to opportunities
• drive improvements to business functions beyond risk avoidance

The objective of ERM is to provide an integrated, comprehensive assessment of the risks that Mastercard is exposed to, and an objective and consistent approach to managing them. ERM is the process by which MasterCard assesses, manages and monitors its significant risks to help enhance shareholder value.

ERM elevates the management of risk from formalized programs in Business Units to an enterprise level through the use of common language and a consistent approach across MasterCard. The ERM program leverages business processes to, among other things, ensure: allocation of resources to appropriately address risk; establishment of clear accountability for risk management; and provision of transparency of risks to senior management, the Board of Directors and appropriate Board committees.
