Job Description

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 Senior Consulting Manager does at Visa:

We are currently looking for a Senior Manager to deliver consulting engagements for our clients in Japan, enabling portfolio growth and improved profitability across their payment businesses.

A Senior Consulting Manager is responsible for end to end delivery of most client engagements. 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::

On a project-by-project basis: 

  • Draft client project proposals, clarifying objectives, scope, deliverables, approach, dependencies, roles and responsibilities, drawing input from the client, local client relationship managers, and functional teams
  • Oversee project setup including contracting documentation, stakeholder engagement, workplans, interview guides, client data requirements, and vendor statements of work (as applicable)
  • 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
  • Collaborate with the hub team, broader global team, or other functional teams to obtain specific subject matter expertise as needed
  • 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

More generally:

  • Identify and surface opportunities for client projects and submit for inclusion into account plans
  • Create, develop and maintain analytical models and methodologies to contribute to standardized VCA offerings and IP creation
  • Continuously build knowledge, surface new insights and produce thought leadership pieces that contribute to practice development and global best practices

In most cases the Senior Consulting Manager will start as a generalist, aligning over time to a practice area of interest. Once aligned to a practice area, the Senior Consulting Manager will be responsible for prospecting and delivering projects from that practice area to clients and contribute to the global pool of set plays, knowledge and expertise.

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.

This is a hybrid position. Hybrid employees can alternate time between both remote and office. Employees in hybrid roles are expected to work from the office 2-3 set days a week (determined by leadership/site), with a general guidepost of being in the office 50% or more of the time based on business needs.
