Job Description and Responsibilities  

Visa Consulting and Analytics (VCA) is the externally-facing strategy consulting group of Visa.  We draw on our expertise in strategy consulting, data analytics, and pragmatic industry experience to develop fact-based recommendations to improve client performance.  Our clients span the continuum of companies that participate in the payment card industry, to include financial institutions, merchants, fintechs, acquirers, and payment processors.  VCA Managed Services is a suite of service offerings that together help clients execute on strategic roadmaps and drive go-to-market implementations. 

As the Client Consulting Manager, you will be part of one of the fastest-growing segments of VCA and will be a key member of the team that focuses on the intersection of Risk Practice and Managed Services. Visa today offers a suite of managed services that enable clients to improve their fraud risk performance and gain operating efficiencies.  These include, for example, services focused on reducing account enumeration attacks, testing for client vulnerabilities, providing tailored intelligence, and alerting based on custom parameters.

You are an experienced Program Manager and will be ultimately responsible for leading delivery of client engagements as the lead project manager of marquee risk managed service engagements. You will also support business development and operational responsibilities (e.g., pipeline reporting, crafting client-facing collateral, writing proposals, and collaborating with delivery teams).     

Successful candidate will be able to flex across sales and delivery of the program - for clarity, you will not be involved in the day-to-day delivery of the services to clients but will be expected to serve as a consistent point of contact for active engagements, managing client and internal executive communications, and collaborating with our internal delivery partners 

The candidate will directly support the risk managed service leader by working closely with them on daily business operations. 

Core  behaviors include:  

Solution Delivery 

• Strong project and program management skills 

• Ability to contextualize and summarize issues for a senior audience 

Customer Centricity 

• Understand the common pain points of the target client audience 

• Speak to technical and non-technical aspects of solutions 

Industry Knowledge 

• Maintain deep understanding of competitive environment for Visa solutions and use that knowledge to articulate the differentiated value we offer 

• Understand different drivers of fraud management so as to know which lever to pull to drive maximum growth and efficiencies 

Communications 

• Demonstrate executive presence in leading conversations with clients and internal senior leaders at Visa 

• Communicate across functional stakeholders (for varying levels and technical expertise) 

Applicants should be self-motivated and highly energized. Successful team members are detail-oriented
