Job Description

Community Growth: The focus of this work is building community through experiential go-to-market strategies that encourage product excitement, collaborating on opportunities that position us as a cultural brand and shaping unbiased, fact-oriented learning.

2. Community building initiatives, partnerships, and strategic initiatives that encourage learning, dialogue, capacity building and position Visa’s brand in a purpose-driven way. By incorporating culturally relevant and highly engaging means to connect globally with communities interested in this space, the community growth team has the chance to incubate ideas and provide feedback into the product development cycle for the business unit.  Communities in focus include: consumers, clients, developers, investors and operators across key I&D target areas mapped across Visa’s brand strategy refresh (e.g., black, latinx, lgbtqia, women, gen-z etc.,)
