  Job Description What the Data Services Team does at Visa:

  At Visa, the Data Services Team plays a diverse and dynamic role with a strong emphasis on data management. The primary responsibility is to ensure the reliability and consistency of both inbound and outbound data. This involves proactive file queue management and technical analysis of any exceptions.

  This role also prioritises the proactive management and resolution of customer and issuer incidents, upholding our team's reputation for quick and effective incident resolution, in accordance with Service Level Agreement (SLA) standards. Issues that affect the timeliness and accuracy of inbound or outbound transactional data loading are identified and proactively managed until resolution.

  Effective Change Management is another key component of this role. The responsibility here is to facilitate seamless transitions, including the onboarding and offboarding of customers, issuers, and data feeds. The role requires frequent communication with customers, banks, and other transactional data issuers, managing the incoming data from these entities and the outgoing distribution of data. The objective is to build robust working relationships with these entities to ensure smooth transition processes.

  While this summary outlines the main responsibilities, this role may also be asked to perform other specific tasks as needed. The ultimate goal is to cultivate a spirit of teamwork and collaboration, establishing an effective and efficient departmental operation in line with our team's mission. Occasionally, this position may require work outside of standard hours.

  Why this is important to Visa

  The Data Services team holds accountability for initiating data loading and delivery incidents with partners, and proactively notifying them about any failures. The team also manages operational relationships with data issuers and collaborates with them on behalf of our customers to fulfill requests.

  As a core team in the business with expertise in data management, Data Services is involved in many internal exercises and projects. We play a critical role in configuring data loading components in production/UAT environments and transition for any new partner.

  Given the service levels we need to meet with multiple partners, we have proactively created critical file failure processes to minimise the impact on our customers. While we work on Service Requests to add revenue to the business, we also generate billing opportunities that allow the Client Relationship teams to invoice partners for any requested data corrections.

  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.
