Job Description

The Visa Corporate IT group has embarked on a major transformation journey. We will not follow the 'traditional' IT playbook of simply purchasing off the shelf solutions and stitching them together. We are transforming ourselves into a true engineering organization where we put customer experience first, create highly leveraged (and loved) platforms with a heavy emphasis on operational excellence such as ensuring our platforms and services are unbreakable. Where we choose to continue with packaged software we will invent our way around their limitations such as poor UI or scale. 

The Customer Experience (CX) team within Corporate IT believes that great design has the ability to engage and inspire users and we strive to rethink and redefine how users interact with our corporate applications and products.   We are a team of creative and collaborative strategic thinkers, and conceptual problem solvers who make every decision an informed one.  We value precision coupled with a “get it done” mindset, and look for proven skills over big egos.   If you are obsessed with the customer experience, this is the team for you!

This role within Visa’s Corporate IT Customer Experience team is an extraordinary opportunity to drive Enterprise User Experience best practices into the heart of every Visa Corporate application, product, service and process.   We are looking for someone who is passionate about customer experience and is thrilled to work on behalf of our global Corporate IT (CIT) team to support them in adopting and implementing a customer experience mindset.  The position provides a unique chance to be on the forefront of the ongoing transformation of the division, closely cooperating with all management levels and getting insights into the corporate strategy.
