Job Description
The Global Pricing Strategy team at Visa is responsible for managing pricing with the objective of driving revenue growth across Visa's network and accelerating adoption of Visa's products and value-added services globally. Pricing is a critical strategic lever that translates innovation into market adoption, aligns incentives across the ecosystem, and enables Visa to execute consistently at global scale. The Pricing Strategy team provides pricing expertise and partners closely with cross-functional teams such as Product, Finance, Legal, Client Services, and others to support well-sequenced, analytically grounded, and executable pricing decisions that are consistent with overall strategic objectives.
The Senior Analyst, Global Pricing Strategy will support or lead work streams on projects related to Visa Inc.'s pricing strategy and/or broader corporate initiatives. This role requires strong thought leadership, analytical rigor, and the ability to solve complex business problems, with increasing emphasis on improving decision quality, coordination, and execution readiness. This position is well suited for a problem solver who brings curiosity, learning velocity, and effectively leverages modern tools, including AI, to improve analysis, workflows, and outcomes.

Essential Functions:
- Support the day-to-day operation of the Pricing Governance process, including intake management, meeting coordination, approval tracking, documentation, and adherence to established governance standards
- Review and analyze pricing proposals to ensure completeness, identify potential risks or policy considerations, and support effective governance decision-making
- Coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders to gather inputs, facilitate reviews, track action items, and support timely progression of pricing initiatives through governance processes
- Develop and maintain governance reporting and KPIs, tracking metrics related to pricing effectiveness, process efficiency, approval timelines, and execution quality
- Identify opportunities to improve visibility, coordination, and consistency in pricing governance processes, communications, and decision tracking
- Assess, pilot, and implement new pricing ideas while ensuring compliance with governance standards and risk controls
- Lead and own complex, cross‑functional pricing strategy initiatives tied to Visa’s enterprise priorities, with accountability for end‑to‑end outcomes
- Support and lead elements of pricing strategy development and refinement, including opportunity identification, strategic analysis, and framing of pricing decisions to support innovation adoption and ecosystem incentives
- Support and lead aspects of pricing modeling, forecasting and socialization, including but not limited to development of business cases and assessments of stakeholder impact for new fees, services, and/or rate modifications
- Identify, prioritize, and execute activities that support Visa's corporate strategies, priorities, and special initiative, with attention to timing, dependencies, and execution readiness
- Work within cross-functional and cross-regional teams, including Product, Finance, Client Services, and others, to solve complex business problems and develop recommendations across a wide range of business issues
- Communicate insights and recommendations clearly and credibly to business leaders, building understanding, alignment, and support
Specific projects will vary greatly in sponsorship, scope, and strategic focus, ranging from broad coordination efforts across multiple functional areas to focused assignments for senior management that are high strategic importance to Visa Inc.
