• Build sales materials, proposal toolkits, reusable frameworks, and packaged offerings that help account executives, consultants, and learning teams articulate benefits, assemble proposals, and industrialize repeatable solutions.
• Leverage global Visa University support teams across marketing, product, finance, and global product offerings to maximize economies of scale, reuse standard assets, localize content only where needed, and build a more repeatable, scalable, factory-like learning practice.
• Collaborate with regional resources to identify qualified opportunities, promote cross-selling with advisory services, Visa products, and VCA verticals, and support proposal development and deal formalization.
• Track pipeline, revenue, expenses, margins, scorecard metrics, and deal progress in relevant platforms, providing regular visibility to market leads and stakeholders.
• Program design, execution, feedback, and continuous evolution
• Design and customize scalable, AI-enabled learning solutions, including adaptive learning journeys, simulations, practical use cases, bespoke programs, and study trips, by adapting Visa University curriculum to client-specific roles, priorities, and learner needs.
