Why this is important to Visa: This is a high-impact role at the crossroads of fast-evolving product innovation and regulatory compliance in one of Visa’s most dynamic markets. Indonesia is emerging as a home for increasingly complex regulations which require high degree of reporting obligation with zero margin for error. This role is key in fulfilling those obligations, in the absence of which, there could be risk of censure by the regulators. Projects you will be a part of: Beyond day‑to‑day regulatory inquiries, you will drive industry and regulatory initiatives that strengthen the safety and security of the payments ecosystem.

You will work cross‑functionally and with global teams to embed security‑by‑design into new products and services. For example, you may support the rollout of a new digital payment solution or mobile‑wallet service in Indonesia by developing compliance plans aligned with local regulations. You will also help Visa navigate evolving frameworks such as Bank Indonesia’s Payment System Blueprint 2030, translating new requirements into actionable strategies for Visa and our clients. In these initiatives, you will collaborate with clients, fintech partners, regulators, and government stakeholders to maintain a secure, innovative, and compliant payments ecosystem. You will also contribute to Visa’s security‑focused industry thought leadership and lead engagements on supervisory and regulatory matters across the region. This is a hybrid position.
