Company Description Visa is a world leader in payments technology, facilitating transactions between consumers, merchants, financial institutions and government entities across more than 200 countries and territories, dedicated to uplifting everyone, everywhere by being the best way to pay and be paid. At Visa, you'll have the opportunity to create impact at scale — tackling meaningful challenges, growing your skills and seeing your contributions impact lives around the world. Join Visa and do work that matters — to you, to your community, and to the world. Progress starts with you. Job Description Visa’s Corporate Development and M&A Integration team plays a critical role in enabling the company’s acquisition strategy and realizing deal value. The team is responsible for leading the end‑to‑end integration of all acquisitions across Visa. The Director of M&A Integration will partner with business sponsors, the Corporate Development deal team, and functional integration leads across go‑to‑market, corporate, and technology functions to ensure effective and timely execution. This is a high‑visibility leadership role for a proactive leader who is comfortable operating in complex integrations and contributing to the ongoing evolution of Visa’s integration approach within a leading global payments company. This role will report to the Head of M&A Integration. Responsibilities: Serve as an experienced integration leader and co‑lead with the Head of M&A Integration, guiding functional leaders and acquired company teams through complex integrations while helping shape and evolve Visa’s overall integration approach. Operate effectively in fast paced, ambiguous deal environments, demonstrating the ability to pivot quickly as deal assumptions, priorities, or constraints evolve, while maintaining momentum and focus on integration objectives. Go beyond traditional project management to plan, lead, and execute end-to-end cross-functional and go-to-market integrations, shaping integration strategy, solving complex and novel deal challenges, and driving stakeholder alignment, while owning integrated workplans, interdependencies, and issue resolution to ensure outcomes align with deal rationale, value drivers, and synergy objectives. Drive day‑to‑day integration execution and governance, including leading integration forums, managing operating cadence, resolving complex and ambiguous issues, and ensuring timely, well-informed decision‑making across the organization. Apply deep understanding of the M&A lifecycle and integration frameworks to flexibly navigate different transaction types, stakeholder dynamics, and operating models. Own integration performance management, including defining tracking metrics aligned to transaction value drivers, managing post‑close scorecards, and delivering clear insights and recommendations to senior leadership and key stakeholders. Independently identify risks, gaps, and integration challenges, developing mitigation plans, mobilizing cross‑functional teams, and driving resolution through influence, experience, and sound judgment rather than formal authority. Partner closely with cross‑functional teams to foster a positive integration experience for employees, ensuring organizational design, culture, and operating processes that support integration objectives and enable effective collaboration between acquiring and acquired teams. Lead post‑integration retrospectives and continuous improvement efforts, capturing lessons learned, defining priority improvements for future acquisitions, and translating insights into tangible improvements that strengthen integration outcomes over time. This is a hybrid position. Expectation of days in office will be confirmed by your hiring manager.
