We are seeking a VIS Delivery & Business Analyst to join the VIS Hub Team in London. This role blends end-to-end delivery leadership with strong business analysis, process improvement, and change management capability. It is designed for someone who can both lead complex change initiatives and get hands-on in shaping solutions, improving ways of working, and ensuring sustainable adoption of change across VIS Europe.

As the VIS Delivery & Business Analyst, you will:

• Lead the delivery of internal transformation and change initiatives, ensuring strong governance, quality, and measurable outcomes.
• Act as a business analysis and process improvement lead, working with stakeholders to understand current-state processes, identify improvement opportunities, define future-state designs, and support implementation.
• Drive change management activities to ensure new processes, tools, and ways of working are embedded effectively and adopted sustainably.
• Operate as a delivery subject-matter expert, helping to set and continuously improve VIS delivery standards, methodologies, and governance frameworks.

This is a highly visible role requiring comfort operating across strategy, delivery, and execution, and working closely with senior stakeholders across Visa.

The key deliverables / responsibilities for the role include:

Delivery Leadership (Internal & Client-Facing):

• Lead end-to-end delivery of internal VIS Hub initiatives and selected client-facing engagements, from initiation through to implementation and benefits realisation.

• Design and run effective governance structures, including SteerCo forums, delivery reviews, and decision-making checkpoints.
• Track progress, risks, issues, and dependencies, ensuring timely escalation and resolution.

Business Analysis & Process Improvement:

• Lead business analysis activities, including stakeholder interviews, workshops, process mapping, and requirements definition.
• Assess current-state operating models, processes, and controls, identifying pain points, inefficiencies, and risks.
• Design future-state processes, operating models, and delivery ways of working aligned to VIS strategic priorities.
• Define clear business and delivery requirements, success measures, and acceptance criteria.
• Support translation of requirements into delivery plans and practical implementation steps.

Change Management & Adoption:

• Develop and execute change management approaches to support successful adoption of new processes, tools, and operating models.
• Work with stakeholders to assess change impact, readiness, and risk.
• Support communication planning, stakeholder engagement, and alignment activities.
• Help ensure changes are embedded into day-to-day operations, not just delivered technically.

Governance, Quality & Delivery Standards:

• Act as a delivery and change SME within VIS, supporting Cluster and Pod Leads in adopting best-in-class delivery and governance practices.
• Create, maintain, and continuously improve delivery artefacts, templates, and standards (e.g. business cases, RAID logs, governance packs, process documentation).
• Define success metrics and KPIs, track outcomes and ROI, and feed insights back into quality management and go-to-market collateral.
• Identify opportunities to improve VIS ways of working and drive practical improvements.

Stakeholder & Cross-Functional Engagement:

• Build strong, trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across VIS, VCA, and wider Visa functions.
• Facilitate alignment across cross-functional teams, balancing delivery momentum with quality and stakeholder buy-in.
• Translate complex delivery and process topics into clear, actionable insights for different audiences.
