Attention to detail and eye for quality are critical to your success, and are imperative in your ability to represent the brand in everything from product development and design to communications. You are obsessed with tracking performance, and always have the data to prove what's working and what isn't. You are an extension of the Visa Direct Regional Product and Sales team, regularly collaborating with product managers, product strategists and sales - it is a balancing act that requires strong relationship-building and diplomatic skills, including knowing when to push back and when to dive in.
