Title and Summary

Senior Specialist, Open Banking Mortgage Solutions

Overview

Our Open Finance business enables consumers to securely share and use their financial data while helping lenders make faster, more accurate decisions with less friction. We work with mortgage lenders, technology providers, loan origination platforms, and ecosystem partners to modernize the mortgage journey through verified data and digital experiences.

As mortgage lending evolves toward a more connected, API-driven ecosystem, Mastercard is helping lenders replace manual verification processes with trusted consumer-permissioned data that supports faster approvals, improved compliance, and better borrower experiences.

The Mortgage Solutions Product Analyst will play a critical role in supporting Mastercard's Open Finance and mortgage verification products used across the mortgage origination ecosystem. This role is for someone who combines mortgage industry expertise, business analysis, systems analysis, and product execution capabilities. They will serve as a bridge between customers, industry platforms, product teams, engineering teams, and implementation partners to ensure Mastercard solutions continue to meet evolving market needs.

Familiarity with mortgage origination workflows, mortgage technology platforms, and lender operational processes will be important. The Product Analyst will monitor industry and platform changes, support client-facing product enhancements, assist with technical remediation efforts, and help shape future innovations that expand the use of verified consumer data in mortgage lending.
