Job Description

The Senior Manager – Migration Practice is a key member of Visa’s regional migration consulting capability. You will work closely with the Migration Practice Director and cross-functional Visa teams to design and deliver complex credit card migrations that are network-sound, customer-safe and compliant.

You will typically lead workstreams or small-to-medium engagements, contribute to enhancing Visa’s migration playbooks and tools, and act as a trusted advisor to client project teams. You will translate technical and operational considerations into clear business implications and support C-level and functional stakeholders through critical migration decisions.

This is a hybrid position. Expectation of days in the office will be confirmed by your Hiring Manager.

• Key responsibilities include:
• Proposition Development & Practice Support

Contribute to the evolution of Visa’s credit card migration consulting proposition in Asia Pacific (e.g., refining use cases, differentiators, client archetypes), under the guidance of the Migration Practice Director.

Help maintain and enhance standard migration playbooks and toolkits, including:

Portfolio diagnostics and data-driven migration readiness assessments

Migration wave and cutover design templates

Customer impact, risk and contingency assessment tools

Support the development of thought leadership and internal training materials (case studies, best practices, brown-bag sessions) to scale migration expertise across markets.

Business Development & Deal Support

Work with the Migration Practice Director and Geo teams to identify and qualify migration opportunities, including platform changes, network shifts and large product/portfolio migrations.

Support the design and delivery of co-creation sessions and solution workshops with clients (e.g., current-state reviews, migration option assessment, risk/impact trade-offs).

Contribute to proposals, RFP responses and commercial constructs, including scope definition, phasing, staffing recommendations and indicative timelines.

Prepare and present migration materials to senior client stakeholders (typically up to functional head level; selectively at C-level with Director support).

Solution Design & Delivery

Lead defined workstreams within larger migration programs or own end-to-end delivery for smaller engagements, for example:

Segmentation and migration cohort strategy

Customer communication and experience design (pre-, during, post-migration)

Product mapping and benefit rationalization

Operational readiness and servicing impact assessment

Translate network and issuer platform constraints into pragmatic migration strategies, in partnership with VCA Migration Tech, Product and client IT/Operations teams.

Act as a first-line escalation and problem-solving point for issues within your workstreams, bringing in the Migration Practice Director or other experts as needed.

Project Resourcing & Third-Party Coordination

Support the Director in designing resourcing models that combine Visa consultants with third-party resources (consultancies, contractors) for large migrations.

Coordinate day-to-day activities with third-party partners on your workstreams (clarifying roles, deliverables and quality standards).

Contribute to SOW preparation, onboarding and performance tracking for external partners, ensuring their outputs are aligned with Visa’s methodology and client expectations.

Governance, Risk Management & Measurement

Define and track workstream-level KPIs and success metrics in line with overall migration objectives, such as Activation and usage metrics post-migration, Authorization approval/decline behaviour in the new setup, Incident and complaint rates, NPS and servicing performance

Ensure workstream deliverables and recommendations comply with Visa network rules, relevant regulations and client risk frameworks, escalating issues where required.

People, Collaboration & Capability Building

Lead virtual project teams or analyst/consultant resources on your workstreams, providing day-to-day guidance, feedback and coaching.

Champion a collaborative, inclusive culture across markets and time zones; role-model structured, calm problem-solving under pressure.
