Job Description

Visa recognizes that operating a successful company is about much more than delivering strong returns to shareholders. We strive to make a positive, and ideally transformative impact on the world, based on the belief that doing well can and should mean doing good, particularly for a global organization like Visa whose business is connecting the world to enhance financial inclusion and equity.

Through our mission of helping small and micro businesses (SMB) thrive, we strive to be a catalyst for growth and positive change around the world. Especially in this post COVID19 world, SMBs need support to recover, build resiliency and grow. By harnessing our capital, our assets, our people, and our knowledge, we are focused on helping set millions of SMBs globally on a path to growth. We see small and micro businesses as the backbone of the global economy, and our goal is to empower these enterprises, help them transition into this new world, and improve their livelihoods, ultimately creating a ripple effect throughout their communities.

These efforts build on the strong legacy of social impact Visa has created through corporate giving, financial inclusion and financial education. We support broader community needs and humanitarian responses in times of crises, are committed to acting responsibly through environmental, social and governance and our more than 19,000 employees contribute to communities in meaningful ways through volunteering and charitable giving.

To date, we have achieved significant progress, however, there is more for us to achieve. The need around the world is only increasing and Visa and the Inclusive Impact and Sustainability team is driving to meet these needs and become a global leader and influencer of governments, non-governmental organizations, and other for-profit companies.
