Mastercard Foundation cherche un monde où chacun a la possibilité d’apprendre et de prospérer. Grâce à sa stratégie Young Africa Works et au programme canadien EleV, la Fondation travaille avec des partenaires pour garantir que des millions de jeunes, en particulier des jeunes femmes, aient accès à une éducation de qualité, à des services financiers et à un travail digne. La Fondation Mastercard a été créée en 2006 grâce à la générosité de Mastercard lorsqu’elle est devenue une entreprise publique. La Fondation est indépendante avec son propre conseil d’administration et directeur général.

COVID-19 Considerations
We value the safety of each member of our community because we know we’re all in this together. In many locations, which may change over time, we’ve implemented a virtual hiring process and continue to interview candidates by video or phone. In addition, in some locations, only individuals who have been fully vaccinated will be permitted inside Mastercard offices until further notice.
In the US, Mastercard is a government contractor, which may legally require most Mastercard employees to be vaccinated unless a verified approved medical or religious exemption is granted. Further, we are currently making every effort towards having employees return to work in the office 2 days per week, if that makes sense for their team. Everyone must be vaccinated to enter Mastercard offices at this time. Therefore, we expect all candidates to be vaccinated or to be approved for a medical or religious accommodation prior to commencing work at Mastercard.
Corporate Security Responsibility
All activities involving access to Mastercard assets, information, and networks comes with an inherent risk to the organization and, therefore, it is expected that every person working for, or on behalf of, Mastercard is responsible for information security and must:
- Abide by Mastercard’s security policies and practices;
- Ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the information being accessed;
- Report any suspected information security violation or breach, and
- Complete all periodic mandatory security trainings in accordance with Mastercard’s guidelines.
