You will typically lead workstreams or small-to-medium engagements, contribute to enhancing Visa’s migration playbooks and tools, and act as a trusted advisor to client project teams.

• Help maintain and enhance standard migration playbooks and toolkits, including:

  • Portfolio diagnostics and data-driven migration readiness assessments

Business Development & Deal Support

• Contribute to proposals, RFP responses and commercial constructs, including scope definition, phasing, staffing recommendations and indicative timelines.

• Prepare and present migration materials to senior client stakeholders (typically up to functional head level; selectively at C-level with Director support).

Solution Design & Delivery

• Lead defined workstreams within larger migration programs or own end-to-end delivery for smaller engagements, for example:

  • Segmentation and migration cohort strategy

  • Customer communication and experience design (pre-, during, post-migration)

  • Product mapping and benefit rationalization

  • Operational readiness and servicing impact assessment

• Translate network and issuer platform constraints into pragmatic migration strategies, in partnership with VCA Migration Tech, Product and client IT/Operations teams.

Project Resourcing & Third-Party Coordination

• Support the Director in designing resourcing models that combine Visa consultants with third-party resources (consultancies, contractors) for large migrations.

• Coordinate day-to-day activities with third-party partners on your workstreams (clarifying roles, deliverables and quality standards).

• Contribute to SOW preparation, onboarding and performance tracking for external partners, ensuring their outputs are aligned with Visa’s methodology and client expectations.

Governance, Risk Management & Measurement

• Define and track workstream-level KPIs and success metrics in line with overall migration objectives, such as  Activation and usage metrics post-migration, Authorization approval/decline behaviour in the new setup, Incident and complaint rates, NPS and servicing performance

• Ensure workstream deliverables and recommendations comply with Visa network rules, relevant regulations and client risk frameworks, escalating issues where required.

People, Collaboration & Capability Building

• Lead virtual project teams or analyst/consultant resources on your workstreams, providing day-to-day guidance, feedback and coaching.

• Champion a collaborative, inclusive culture across markets and time zones; role-model structured, calm problem-solving under pressure.
