Client Consulting Manager - Risk Advisory

Position Summary

Visa Consulting and Analytics (VCA), the consulting arm of Visa, is a global team of industry experts. VCA supports banks (issuers and acquirers), merchants, and governments on a wide spectrum of topics within the payment sphere, including portfolio strategy and management, digital journeys, and risk management.

This Manager role is fundamental to further develop and scale the Risk service line within Visa Consulting & Analytics, supporting GCC and NALP regions. The core focus of this role will be threefold:

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and execute the delivery of Risk Consulting engagements for VISA GCC and NALP clients. The incumbent will be responsible for project delivery and execution.

As part of project delivery, the incumbent will also collaborate with peers in other functional areas (e.g., Risk, Product, Client Support Services) and other VCA global/regional teams.
• The incumbent will support the development of the risk service line offering and provide project team members with subject matter expertise.
• Although the primary focus of the role is on project management and delivery, the incumbent will also support all business development activities, including sourcing deals, roadshows, pitches, and proposal development.
