The payment industry is evolving at a rapid pace with new innovations and platforms launching on a near daily basis. Given the strong demands and innovation, this is a very exciting area for the foreseeable future. VISA is clearly a very strong leader in the payment industry and is leading a fast paced technology transformation. For a payment system to work well, advance technologies such as data platform, big data, data mining, machine learning, cloud, etc. are critical. In VISA, we have all of these. The Data Platform Department is in the center for many of these technologies and development.

The Data Platform team is a key component of Visa's Technology organization that provides an enriched and valuable ecosystem of data platform and data services that drive innovation for our partners and clients, within Visa and globally. Data is the most valuable asset in Visa. The Data Platform Department is dedicated to develop advanced technology (e.g. Cloud, Machine Learning and Big Data), systems and services to make data secure, high quality, rich, fast, and easy to use. Hence the Data Platform team enables Visa to leverage its data asset in an effective and timely manner to maximize technology/business development and differentiate Visa from others in the payment industry. The department maintains tens of petabytes of data supporting over 100 services for various internal lines of business and external clients.

Our Data Platform is growing fast and the pace of change is accelerating. We deeply care that in the midst of internal growth our platform and services remain secure, stable and dependable for our customers and partners.

As the PMO leader for our Bangalore team, you’ll drive our platform forward as you build out our PMO in Bangalore. You should be comfortable leading teams, coaching and developing others. You anticipate risks and negotiate trade-offs, and are both technical and process focused.

In this role, you will work with all areas of the organization to deliver against our strategy while simultaneously managing the day-to-day aspects of your portfolio. You will also hire and manage a team of Program Managers and Scrum Masters.

We collaborate with every other team at Visa to deliver on our broad mandate of Data Platforms that are secure, robust, and effective. To achieve this, we continuously reflect, learn, and commit to develop our platform, our processes, and our people.

Do you wonder why, what-if, and why not? Do you seek simple solutions to complex problems? Are you naturally curious and a voracious learner? Are you a magnet to responsibility?

We want you to come join our team!
