Director, Visa Consulting and Analytics, Tech Advisory Practice - job 1 of 20

Visa Consulting and Analytics, VCA, is the externally facing strategy consulting group of Visa.  We draw on our expertise in strategy consulting, data analytics, and pragmatic industry experience to develop fact-based recommendations to improve client performance.  Our clients span the continuum of companies that participate in the payment card industry, to include financial institutions, merchants, fintechs, acquirers, and payment processors.

As the Director, VCA, Tech Advisory Practice, you will be the General Manager responsible for growing a critical pillar focused on Technology Strategy and Implementation.  Technology Strategy enable clients to assess their current technical architecture, envision their future state, and clarify the roadmap to long term success.  Technology Implementation services build on the success of Technology Strategy engagements, equipping clients with the dev teams needed to bring their vision to life. 

You will be ultimately responsible for achieving quarterly and annual revenue targets.  You will ideate, develop, price, sell, and oversee the delivery of technology strategy and technology implementation services.  You are a natural in front of clients, including SVP plus leadership stakeholders, and can use that skill set to tailor new and existing services to meet their needs.  You are excited by the prospect of measuring your success through attainment of revenue growth targets.  You are sufficiently expert conversant in technical architecture, ideally within the context of banking and payments, to scope development efforts effectively with dev resources.

The successful candidate will be a seasoned consultant, entrepreneur, and general manager specialist who can partner across Visa client types.  The role will identify common client needs, develop offerings that leverage Visa extensive capabilities, subject matter expertise, and third-party partners, price the solution appropriately, pitch the client, close the sale, and oversee delivery.  The role will collaborate with a host of internal and external partners to develop, sell, and deliver solutions.  This person will articulate the value proposition to clients, customize the offerings as needed to address client feedback, and ultimately close the sale.  The team member will be able to flex across various client stakeholders, to include those in digital, data sciences, marketing, CRM, payments, and fraud and risk.     

For clarity, this leader will not be involved in the day to day of tech dev with clients.  Rather, this leader will engage at more of an executive steering committee level to ensure that delivery teams are scoped appropriately and are delivering against client goals and objectives, making any necessary course corrections.

This is a hybrid position. Expectation of days in office will be confirmed by your hiring manager.
