Job Description

We are seeking a strategic and execution-oriented leader to join as Director, Global Cross Border Issuance Strategy & Operations. This role will help Visa scale Cross Border Issuance, a nascent and high-growth business area that is expanding as new cross-border technologies, client models, and digital-value flows create demand for Visa issuing capabilities across markets.

The successful candidate will help turn grow this commercial opportunity into a scalable, well-governed business. The role will require the candidate to solve complex operating-model challenges where Visa’s product policies, network rules, client needs, platform capabilities, and regulatory requirements intersect across multiple jurisdictions. The candidate will build the strategy, requirements, governance, and cross-functional execution model that allow Cross Border Issuance to grow while Visa maintains its compliance, risk, and operational obligations globally.

The role will work closely with global and regional teams across product, client services, legal, regulatory, risk, compliance, pricing, finance, account executives, and regional business leadership. A key part of the role will be aligning senior stakeholders, translating complex issues into clear business requirements, and creating reusable processes, playbooks, and decision paths so Visa can scale Cross Border Issuance consistently across clients, regions, and use cases.
