As authentication becomes exponentially more complex, with countless new options and possibilities, Visa is developing solutions to simplify access to a proliferation of authentication services and providers. In doing so, Visa will make authentication simpler and smoother while enabling clients to create new consumer experiences that would have been previously infeasible or impractical. 

The Senior Director will be responsible for the product strategy and planning, which includes assessing market trends in the authentication space, evaluating and selecting platform partners, defining the product roadmap with our technology counterparts, and collaborating with our commercialization teams to develop market entry plans. They will also act as an authentication subject matter expert and thought leader by maintaining an in-depth knowledge of authentication trends, technology and service providers. https://usa.visa.com/partner-with-us/developer/visa-id-intelligence.html
