Job Description What's it all about?

We are seeking a driven, engaging risk leader to serve as a Risk Business Partner within the Global Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) team, unlocking the value of strong risk management for the business and functional partners it serves. The role holder will own the risk partnership with the Data Privacy Office, extending to other organizations across Visa as the role's scope evolves, driving insight, challenge, and control testing that deepen the organization's risk profile.

This is a leadership role for someone with deep knowledge and hands-on experience of data privacy requirements and operations, who also operates broadly across the ERM function to shape and deliver Policies, Procedures, Frameworks, and Standards. The role will be based in Atlanta, GA.What we expect of you, day to day:

Own the risk business partnership with the Data Privacy Office (DPO), extending to other Visa organizations, driving alignment, insight, and business outcomes.

Lead execution of the ERM program to the highest standard across the DPO (acting as Second Line of Defense), including the full Risk and Control Self-Assessment (RCSA) process and control testing for the DPO and any other function requiring RCSA execution.

Partner with process owners across the DPO, the Global Data Office, and other organizations to identify risks and rigorously challenge the design and operating effectiveness of controls.

Serve as the first point of contact and trusted risk advisor to the DPO, providing consistent, high-quality advice, guidance, and challenge on risk matters, and act as the conduit back into the ERM team.

Champion risk culture, building risk partnerships that educate and embed risk management thinking across the organization.

Unlock deep, forward-looking insight into the Data Privacy risk profile and, as the role's remit extends, other organizations, elevating that insight across the enterprise through proactive reporting to senior stakeholders.

Develop, draft, and deliver risk reporting across the ERM team, informing Visa's broader risk profile.

Lead deep dives, in partnership with the Director, to strengthen the control environment.

Execute and lead complex risk assessments across ERM, the DPO, and the broader business to generate deep insight into the company's risk landscape.

Develop and deliver aggregate risk reporting for all levels of the company.

Monitor data quality within the risk system of record, challenging the first and second lines of defense to ensure the accuracy of risk records.

Drive updates to ERM frameworks, both in written form and system execution — defining requirements, partnering with technology, and delivering testing.

Design and deliver reporting across ERM's scope of influence, equipping regional risk owners and risk teams with a clear understanding of the risks, controls, issues, and events relevant to them.

Proactively identify and solve problems across ERM, the DPO, and any other business or function as required.
