What Consumer Marketing Associate and Designer does:

Brand/Consumer Marketing

• Work closely with the Head of Consumer Marketing to assist in the development and implementation of the company's brand strategy and ensure all marketing efforts serve to achieve immediate and long-term business goals.
• Support the development and implementation of integrated marketing plans (both offline and online) for given products and services to support the agreed marketing strategies and achievement of KPIs.
• Support the Head of Consumer Marketing to serve as a brand & marketing steward, ensuring our brand is always presented in alignment with brand vision and purpose.
• Support the development of a marketing strategy deck and analyze and report on the performance and efficiency of campaigns.
• Oversee administrative deliverables related to consumer marketing project management.

Digital Marketing/Social Design Creative Development

• Support the creation and execution of visually compelling digital marketing assets for social media, web, and campaign initiatives.
• Design graphics, layouts, and visual elements that align with brand guidelines and campaign objectives.
• Edit video content for digital channels, including short-form and long-form videos, reels, and stories.

Why is this position important to Visa: 

This role is critical to Visa’s operations as it directly influences our capacity to produce compelling creative assets and manage content effectively. By supporting both Visa-led and client-driven campaigns and promotions, it plays a critical role in ensuring Visa’s brand presence. Through strategic creative production and disciplined project management, this position contributes meaningfully to our market presence and impact.

This is a hybrid position. Expectation of days in office will be confirmed by your hiring manager.
