We are a global team of disruptors, trailblazers, innovators and risk-takers who are helping drive economic growth in even the most remote parts of the world, creatively moving the industry forward, and doing meaningful work that brings financial literacy and digital commerce to millions of unbanked and underserved consumers.

You’re an Individual. We’re the team for you. Together, let’s transform the way the world pays.

As part of the North America Marketing team, this position will report to the Sr. Director of Product Marketing and be responsible for leading U.S. marketing programs for Visa Direct, Visa’s real-time push payment platform.  In this role, you will be the glue that binds our product strategy to the tactics needed to drive success in sales and marketing, ultimately delivering data-driven results. You must be an evangelist of Visa Direct to our customers and you will play an integral role in the product life cycle.

You are expected to develop a deep understanding of the playing field for real-time push payments across funds disbursement and P2P use cases:

• Knowing and understanding our clients better than they know themselves, including what they need and how they make their buying decisions

• Having extensive insights on our competitors, what they are doing today and where they are going in the future

• Deep understanding of market dynamics - including regulation, consumer needs and trends 

You consistently back up strategic insights with market evidence and use that knowledge to drive the development of positioning and messaging that resonates with buyers and empowers our sales teams to be successful. You have an innate ability to grasp and present the value propositions of our products and solutions in a way that resonates with customers and clearly articulates how we solve our buyers’ problems.

You will collaborate across functional teams to develop and deliver innovative programs and content that drive demand for Visa Direct. Attention to detail and eye for quality are critical to your success, and are imperative in your ability to represent the brand in everything from product development and design to communications. You are obsessed with tracking performance, and always have the data to prove what’s working and what isn’t. You are an extension of Visa’s Product Organization, regularly collaborating with product managers, product strategists, engineers and sales; it is a balancing act that requires strong relationship-building and diplomatic skills, including knowing when to push back and when to dive in.
