About Us

Visa is a world leader in payments technology, facilitating transactions between consumers, merchants, financial institutions and government entities across more than 200 countries and territories, dedicated to uplifting everyone, everywhere by being the best way to pay and be paid.

The Global Interchange & Pricing Strategy (IPS) Initiatives and Enablement team leads the technical strategy, solution development, enablement, and ongoing maintenance of Visa's interchange programs worldwide.

The Sr. Manager – Global IPS Initiatives and Enablement is an individual contributor role that serves as a critical liaison between business stakeholders, regional teams, technology partners, and implementation teams. This role translates strategic business needs into actionable requirements, analytical insights, implementation plans, and enablement materials that drive the successful execution of interchange and pricing initiatives globally. The role also manages operational excellence to modernize existing processes and to improve productivity and efficiency with scalable automation solutions.

Success in this role requires a blend of business acumen, technical aptitude, analytical rigor, operational excellence, and stakeholder management expertise. The ideal candidate will bridge business requirements with technology delivery, support the development and enablement of interchange programs, optimize existing enablement process, and provide structured analysis that informs decision‑making and implementation readiness.

We are looking for an analytical, structured thinker and creative problem solver who synthesizes complex information, identifies practical solutions, and communicates effectively with diverse audiences. The candidate must be comfortable navigating ambiguity, managing competing priorities, and operating with autonomy in a fast‑paced, global environment.

This role requires an AI curious and AI practical mindset—not an AI specialist, but someone who demonstrates curiosity, sound judgment, and practical use of AI‑enabled tools to improve analysis, accelerate productivity, enhance insight generation, and responsibly rethink workflows.

The preferred location for this position is Miami, Florida. This position requires travel 5%-10% of the time.
