It is highly preferred that the executive has experience working on Mexican financial sector issues, particularly in the payments or the banking arena, from either the private or the public sector. The main objectives of the position are to develop and implement a proactive agenda to ensure the country´s public policy priorities are aligned with industry and corporate objectives to grow financial inclusion and digital payments adoption, as well as to increase national and sub-national government’s participation in the digital payments space.

  • Lead and coordinate Visa’s positions and advocacy strategies on regulatory and policy issues in Mexico.
  • Record and share best practices with government bodies, regulators, and industry stakeholders to promote digital payments.
  • Support Visa's regulatory information needs as a regulated entity and coordinate responses to regulatory consultations.
  • Build proactive, trusted relationships with key government officials, regulators, and lawmakers.
  • Collaborate with local GE professionals and industry associations to develop strategies and engagement plans to boost financial inclusion and digital payments.
  • Support partners (issuers, acquirers, fintechs, merchants) in understanding payments regulation, alongside the Head of Government Engagement for Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, Legal, and business teams.
  • Proactively identify strategic business issues and opportunities for Visa and its clients.
  • Identify potential business partnerships with national and sub-national government agencies in the delivery of social services, payment of taxes, and other potential government programs that may benefit from the adoption of digital payments.

This is a hybrid position. Hybrid employees can alternate time between both remote and office. Employees in hybrid roles are expected to work from the office 2-3 set days a week (determined by leadership/site), with a general guidepost of being in the office 50% or more of the time based on business needs.

Qualifications Basic Qualifications:
  • 8 years of work experience with a bachelor’s degree or at least 6 years of experience with an advanced degree (e.g. Masters/MBA/JD/MD).
  • At least 6 years of experience in a relevant corporate position, regulatory or government agency, or consultancy on Mexico´s financial system, payments, banking and/or technology issues.
