Team Summary

Visa Consulting & Analytics (VCA) drives tangible, impactful and financial results for Visa's clients, including card issuers, acquirers, and merchants.  Drawing on our expertise in strategy consulting, data analytics, brand management, marketing, operations and macroeconomics, VCA solves the most strategic problems for our clients.

The VCA team within Japan provides a comprehensive range of consulting services and solutions to our clients in Japan, that address unique challenges in areas such as strategic growth, profitability, risk management and digital strategy.

 

What a Manager, Visa Consulting and Analytics does at Visa:

This role in Japan will be responsible for delivering consulting engagements for our financial institution clients in Japan, enabling growth and improved profitability across their payments business.

A Consulting Manager is responsible for significant components of client engagements, and in some cases end to end delivery. Typically, this will involve interacting with the client team, gathering and managing project inputs, analyzing data to form conclusions and recommendations, developing and presenting compelling project reports and working with clients on executing recommendations.  The full range of responsibilities are detailed below:

Responsibilities

  • Support the preparation of client project proposals, providing input to objectives, scope, deliverables, approach, dependencies, roles and responsibilities
  • Develop a fact base by undertaking client interviews and analyzing client documentation or processes
  • Analyze Visa and client data to benchmark client performance vs. industry averages to identify performance gaps and improvement opportunities
  • Collaborate with data science team to leverage advanced data analytics capabilities

  • Identify solutions and recommendations that address client objectives and result in performance improvement, leveraging relevant VCA methodologies, frameworks, and global best practices
  • Design and deliver compelling presentations to illustrate findings, ideas, recommendations within consulting engagements and more broadly
  • Support implementation of VCA recommendations or client initiatives, using project management and problem-solving frameworks

Why this is important to Visa

VCA’s services allow our clients to boost their business performance by leveraging Visa’s expansive market insights and data. This in turn drives Visa’s business, creating a win-win relationship where both client and Visa’s incentives are aligned to grow the business. This dynamic combined with the long-term relationship we have with clients enables a deeper level of engagement and impact compared to traditional consulting firms. VCA projects also help drive Visa Japan’s strategic initiatives and accelerate Japan’s transformation to a cashless society.
