What's it all about?

As the digital transformation of commerce and payments continues, digital identity solutions are critical to establish trust in digital transactions while reducing friction and improving the customer experience. Digital Identity (DI) is also a priority for many governments to drive growth, efficient public services, and financial inclusion. Hence DI represents a significant opportunity for Visa to build on its existing position of trust and relationships as a global network to expand and complement its service offering.

This role will focus on defining and executing the product vision and strategy for Visa Identity services in Europe.

The Senior Manager Digital Identity Solutions Europe brings good understanding of and experience in the Digital Identity space and a proven ability to execute a product strategy as well as experience from a matrix organization. Experience from acquisitions and integrations desired.

The Senior Manager Digital Identity Solutions Europe will report to and work closely with the Head of Digital Identity Europe to build Visa´s position in the Digital Identity space.

The Digital Identity team in Europe will collaborate with Global Digital Identity product team, Technology, Standards, Government Engagement, and Visa product teams to make decisions on how the solutions will interact at commercial level (how do we generate revenues, how do we distribute), interaction level (how do we federate across schemes/geographies) and technical level.

The role understands that technology in itself is not disruptive, but it is people who are the agents of change. This foundational understanding underpins the work we do by focusing on the consumer, hence humanizing our ideas and solutions.
