Job Description
Team Summary
The India & South Asia (INSA) cluster covers 6 markets divided into three sub-regions (India, Bangladesh/Nepal/Bhutan, and Sri Lanka/Maldives), with a total population of approximately 1.5 billion people. Visa has ambitious business goals in this rapidly growing region – and achieving these goals will require us to successfully navigate and positively shape an increasingly complex operating environment.
Visa’s Government Engagement (“GE”) team works to advance Visa’s public policy and commercial objectives while mitigating policy and regulatory risk that could adversely affect the business. Externally, the GE team is responsible for establishing Visa as a thought leader on key issues, maintaining wide range of critical stakeholders from the government, central banks and industry associations to raise awareness of and build support for policies on digital payments, fintech, financial inclusion etc, in India and South Asia.
To help manage an expanding scope of public policy issues and to further enhance Visa’s relationships with government and other key stakeholders throughout the region, we are creating a new Manager role on the INSA GE team.
