What the Instalment Product Director does at Visa:

Installments, whether in the form of a Buy-Now-Pay-Later experience or a more traditional monthly repayments plan will be a core part of the future of credit in Asia-Pacific and beyond. The Instalment Product Director will be part of managing those new elements of Visa’s approach to credit and will be responsible for driving the go-to-market (GTM) activities to deploy Visa’s Instalment proposition across Asia Pacific

Reporting to the Asia-Pacific Solution Commercialisation Lead, the role-holder will execute Visa’s Instalment strategy and GTM activities, in collaboration with Visa global, regional and market teams, addressing both ‘traditional’ instalments payments as well as ‘Buy-Now-Pay-Later’ (BNPL) fintech opportunities.

In this capacity, the colleague will develop a compelling commercial proposition for market execution, from market-sizing, business case development, pricing and client-commercials for Issuing, Acquiring and Merchant Clients

We are looking for a self-starter who had direct instalment/ BNPL expertise with past working experiences with Issuers & Acquirers and adept at collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver best solutions for our Visa clients.
