Job Description

Within Visa, Acceptance Solutions provides clients with acceptance innovation to support their payments offering. We deliver a scaled, open acceptance platform, which provides aggregators, payfacs and software vendors with the technology and operational infrastructure needed to grow and run their merchant portfolios. This includes core processing across a wide range of payment methods and types, fraud products, tokenization, training, sales enablement, billing, boarding, etc.

Visa has been fortunate to earn business from acquirers, payfacs and software providers across the globe. Many related implementations are large, custom deployments, while others are standard applications of our core solution sets. Some deliver a “one-stop shop” for aggregators to serve merchants of all sizes, and others represent modular deployments of specific capabilities like network access, fraud or merchant boarding.

The Director, Aggregator and SMB Operations, will be responsible for defining and tracking critical metrics across these deployments to improve overall efficiency and spot opportunities to improve both client experience and operating performance. This role is cross-functional, and sits between Product, Sales, Sales Operations and Customer Support to influence quality outcomes for the business.

This is an operating role. It will be detailed in orientation, and the successful candidate will likely have a background in leading complex, software centric implementations. The scope of the role is global, and interacts with all regions, often in the same day. The role reports to the VP of Aggregator and SMB solutions and will work across global deployments to level-up client implementations such that they consistently reflect evolving best practices.

Guiding cross-functional teams and influencing peers to use operating KPIs to evolve client engagements will be crucial. Above all, this person must be committed to continuous improvement across active client implementations.

  • KPI development- This includes “non-obvious” metrics beyond revenue, transactions and payment volume. Examples could include page view on our merchant portal, call volume, boarding times, growth rate of merchant boards, attach rate of value-added services, etc.
  • Requirements definition- Document and prioritize potential platform or operating enhancements based on KPI review.
  • Internal Team Leadership- Participation in program reviews and planning sessions to guide direction and embed cross-program best practices
  • Client interaction- Gathering direct feedback from client working teams to better understand what works, what doesn’t, and where we can improve
  • Voice of the Client- Communicates acquirer, payfac and tech partner needs to the org.
  • Evangelism- Represent solutions within market (event participation, webinars, etc.), and purposeful communication across the org to drive awareness of client deployments and promote resourcing and investment needs to extend success
