Visa is searching for a European Technical Product Manager to play a critical role in the DPS Issuer Processing product solution. Working as part of a small but growing team with a start-up culture, and supported by strong strategy, global product and technical teams, you will use your breadth of software and product development skills to primarily support the UK based scrum team.
