Job Description

As mentioned, this role is focused on Visa's Government Engagement (GE) in Greece, Cyprus, Malta and Israel (GCMI), as well as working in close coordination with the GE team in Brussels and Visa’s engagement with European Union Institutions.

There is a focus on supporting Visa's wider GE strategy, including support for Visa executives to execute strategic engagement, working to deliver proactive strategic opportunities to work with the GCMI Governments, and helping to ensure that policy frameworks are conducive to a fair, competitive and successful operating environment for Visa's current and future business. Given geopolitical boundaries, some regulatory policy advice will come from our GE team in Brussels, but there will be a need to consider national Regulatory Policy matters in each market.
