Job Description

The Visa Corporate IT group has embarked on a major transformation journey. We will not follow the 'traditional' IT playbook of simply purchasing off the shelf solutions and stitching them together. We are transforming ourselves into a true engineering organization where we put customer experience first, create highly leveraged (and loved) platforms with a heavy emphasis on operational excellence such as ensuring our platforms and services are unbreakable. Where we choose to continue with packaged software we will invent our way around their limitations such as poor UI or scale.

The Employee Experience Lifecycle Team believes that great design and efficient processes have the ability to engage and inspire users and we strive to rethink and redefine how users interact with our corporate applications and products. We are a team of creative and collaborative strategic thinkers, and conceptual problem solvers who make every decision an informed one. We value precision coupled with a “get it done” mindset, and look for proven skills over big egos. If you are obsessed with the customer experience, this is the team for you!

At Visa, we have an exciting opportunity for a hands-on IT Organizational Change Manager with a passion for precision, curiosity, quality, and driving end user adoption, advocacy, education, and satisfaction. Our environment is ever changing and requires an Organizational Change Manager who is flexible, self-driven, and can collaborate across cross-functional groups and locations.
