Team Summary:

The Business Development team at Visa is at the forefront of client relationship management and responsible both for bringing new client partnerships to Visa, as also to execute new business opportunities with existing clients. Aligning the strategic objectives of Visa with those of the client and working with client teams across functions to arrive at common goals is a key deliverable. This team comprises self-motivated and highly driven individuals who excel with partners, work collaboratively with other Visa colleagues and have superior project management skills. Being the face of Visa with industry participants gives them an opportunity to work with a myriad set of organizations such as commercial banks, NBFCs, SFBs, payment banks and increasingly with Fintechs.

The Opportunity:

Traditionally, Visa has engaged with members of the 4-party model: issuers, acquirers, and merchants from a relationship management perspective. In the last 5 years, however, we have developed a strong base of clients across Fintech players (both B2B and B2C) – comprising digital-first card issuers, lenders, Forex issuers and prepaid instrument issuers – all of whom are now strong contributors not just to the growth of the Visa business through its core products, but also to the consumption of Visa’s Value Added Services through which they can enhance their portfolio management, marketing, risk management and business intelligence functions. In India, Visa has a dedicated team led by a Senior Director for the onboarding and management of Fintech partners; and Fintechs remain a significant contributor to Visa’s overall business in India.

What the Senior Director – Fintech Partnerships is expected to do at Visa:

This role will be responsible for developing, executing, and leading Visa’s Fintech Partnerships strategy for India. This includes setting and driving in-country business outcomes with FinTech clients, while identifying deal opportunities that position Visa as the market leader. This person will lead a team of 3 direct reports across Account Management and Business Development functions, and also work closely with the Asia Pacific Digital and Fintech Partnerships team based in Singapore.
