Job Description

This is an individual contributor analyst role supporting ecosystem risk case investigations and monitoring programs. The Analyst is responsible for executing investigative workflows, conducting data‑driven analysis, and supporting remediation actions across Visa’s ecosystem risk programs.

The role focuses on identifying potential risk or non‑compliant activity, analyzing transactional and behavioral data, and supporting case investigations that may result in monitoring actions, remediation plans, or enforcement outcomes. The Analyst works within established program frameworks and escalates complex, high‑risk, or sensitive matters to senior team members.

This position collaborates closely with other functions in Global Risk and PERC, regional risk teams, Rules & Compliance, Client Services, and Account Executive teams to ensure consistent application of ecosystem risk standards while minimizing brand, operational, and reputational risk to Visa.

Key Responsibilities

The Analyst supports the execution of ecosystem risk programs through investigation, analysis, reporting, and stakeholder coordination. Core responsibilities include:

Case Investigations & Monitoring

Monitor client, acquirer, issuer, or ecosystem participant activity against defined ecosystem risk program thresholds and indicators
Investigate potential violations or risk conditions identified through programs such as acquirer monitoring, fraud compliance, integrity, or risk performance initiatives
Conduct structured case investigations using transaction data, internal systems, and external research sources
Document investigation findings, risk assessments, and outcomes clearly and accurately

Data Analysis & Insights

• Analyze transaction‑level and aggregated data to identify risk patterns, trends, or emerging behaviors
• Support the development of reports, dashboards, and metrics used to track ecosystem risk program effectiveness
• Contribute analytical insights that inform case prioritization, remediation decisions, and program tuning

Remediation & Program Execution

Support corrective and remediation actions with clients under established ecosystem risk frameworks
Track remediation plans, milestones, and outcomes through to resolution
Assist in responding to internal and external inquiries related to ecosystem risk programs, thresholds, or case outcomes
Ensure consistent execution of program procedures across cases and regions

Stakeholder Collaboration & Escalation

Collaborate with internal partners including Risk, Rules & Compliance, Client Services, and Sales to support client understanding and program execution
Escalate higher‑risk cases, repeat issues, or sensitive matters to senior management in accordance with program guidelines
Support global teams by working across regions and time zones as required

Program & Operational Support

Contribute to continuous improvement of investigation workflows, reporting, and operational processes

Support annual planning, program reviews, and risk assessments with analytical input

Manage multiple active cases or monitoring activities simultaneously, prioritizing effectively

The team is responsible for protecting the integrity, safety, and trust of the Visa payment ecosystem. The team monitors and enforces risk and compliance programs that identify, investigate, and remediate behaviors that threaten the stability of the network, Visa clients, and end users.

These programs span multiple risk domains, including acquirer and issuer monitoring, fraud and risk compliance, integrity programs, and network risk investigations, and include programs such as VAMP, VIMP, FRECOP, VIRP, and related ecosystem risk frameworks. Collectively, these programs ensure that ecosystem participants operate in alignment with Visa Rules, program requirements, and applicable laws and regulations.

This is a hybrid position. Expectation of days in office will be confirmed by your hiring manager.
