What a Product Manager does at Visa: Reporting directly to a Director in Value-Added Services Japan, with a dotted reporting line to the regional Acceptance Solutions team in Singapore, this role combines product management with technical client consulting. The role is responsible for shaping, maintaining, and improving Visa Acceptance Solutions products and technology in Japan, with hands-on ownership of assigned products and initiatives. Unlike a sales engineering role, this position is less focused on selling solutions and more focused on translating market and client needs into product direction, requirements, enhancements and delivery priorities.

A key part of this role is assessing client enhancement and product intake requests, determining how they align with client needs and Visa capabilities, define requirements, facilitate feature or product development via our global teams, manage dependencies and expectations, and support the go-to-market of new Visa products and capabilities.
