Job Description

Visa is seeking a dynamic and results-driven Product Manager to drive Visa's strategic initiatives focused on money movement within Visa Direct Global Product.

You will collaborate closely with regional teams, business partners, and global product and engineering teams to understand local payment ecosystems and deliver scalable, secure, and high-performing money movement solutions.

• Own the product lifecycle from discovery and experimentation through to delivery, launch, and continuous optimization.
• Stay informed on emerging trends in payments, AI, and related technologies to identify opportunities aligned with strategic priorities.
• Manage and prioritize the product backlog aligned with business strategy, customer outcomes, and measurable results.
• Use data, experimentation, proofs of concept, and performance metrics to evaluate viability and inform go/no-go decisions.
• Track success metrics across performance, efficiency, adoption, cost, and reduction of client and end-user friction.
• Partner closely with engineering to deliver secure, scalable, and high-quality solutions.
• Work cross functionally with commercial, solutioning, risk, legal, compliance, and operations teams to ensure timely and responsible delivery.

Agility, Adaptability & Delivery

• Apply agile methodologies to guide product development, iteration, and continuous improvement.
• Leverage data, automation, and emerging technologies, including AI where appropriate, to improve decision-making, scalability, and customer experience.
• Demonstrate strong ownership, encourage creative problem solving, and drive initiatives to completion in a changing environment.
• Raise execution quality by continually improving how the team plans, executes, and delivers the product backlog.
