    Through our Global Commercial Services (GCS) division, American Express offers powerful backing and support that helps companies of all sizes gain financial savings, control, and efficiency. We provide a suite of payment and lending products, solutions for travel and everyday business spending, global payments, currency solutions, and business financing. Within GCS, the Business Financing, Payments, and Digital Experience (BFPD) organisation owns product capabilities that support FX and Global Payments.

    American Express’s FX & Global Payments product team is working to move the GCS proposition ‘beyond the card’, by growing our existing FX International Payments (FXIP) platform, and also embarking on a new journey with the Global Pay product. We are redefining our cross-border payments products and capabilities, balancing new build with existing functionality, and also planning migration activity to retain our existing global customer base while targeting net new customers.

    Your Mission Objective

    This is an extraordinary opportunity for a motivated analytical thinker to break into the digital product space and play an important role in a green-field product development initiative. We would love to hear from you if:

You are confident and willing to expand your data analysis skills to help Product Managers make better, data-driven, and client-centric decisions about the direction we should take as a product to offer the best-in-class customer experience.
    • You bring clarity and energy. You are great at communicating and bringing people together behind a common goal.
