Head of Product Delivery, LATAM Payments Rails

Job Description

As Head of Product Delivery for LATAM Payments Rails in Latin America , you will own end-to-end delivery—from intake through release and operationalization—while leading the team and partnering with Product, Technology, Operations, CS&I, and other cross-functional teams. You will manage timelines, dependencies, and blockers to keep execution on track; strengthen governance and agile delivery practices; and drive continuous improvement to enable faster, more consistent outcomes and better customer experiences.

 

Job Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end product delivery for LATAM Payments Rails, including intake, dependency management, release management, product operationalization, delivery feasibility decisions, and product performance reporting. Identify and act on opportunities to improve efficiency and cross-functional coordination.
• Lead change management across functional partners, and make sure delivery meets the firm's risk, controls, compliance, and regulatory requirements across the region.
• Oversee timelines, dependencies, and capacity across the delivery portfolio. Address blockers early, make sure the right resources are in place, and act as the main delivery contact for senior stakeholders and functional partners.
• Set up and lead program governance, including operating cadence, working groups, integrated plans, RAID, dependency management, and "Ready to Launch" readiness reviews.
• Make sure delivery is disciplined across the full lifecycle (planning, build oversight, testing, UAT, cutover, and hypercare) so that products are fully operationalized and stakeholders are ready at launch.
• Drive process re-engineering and continuous improvement to make delivery faster, more transparent, more predictable, and more tightly controlled.
• Lead, develop, and inspire a high-performing delivery team. Build a collaborative culture that encourages open dialogue, accountability, and constructive conflict resolution.
• Assess delivery constraints, including policies, processes, and regional regulatory factors. Remove barriers and use sound judgment to solve complex challenges across the product development lifecycle.
• Give senior leadership clear, data-driven updates on delivery status, risks, and outcomes.
