Job Description
The Senior Manager, Government Engagement is a full-time role based in Athens, reporting to the Director, Government Engagement, Southern Europe. Some travel in the region will be required as the person will also oversee Cyprus, Malta and Israel. The role is part of the broader Europe Government Engagement team.
As mentioned, this role is focused on Visa's Government Engagement (GE) in Greece, Cyprus, Malta and Israel (GCMI), as well as working in close coordination with the GE team in Brussels and Visa’s engagement with European Union Institutions.
There is a focus on supporting Visa's wider GE strategy, including support for Visa executives to execute strategic engagement, working to deliver proactive strategic opportunities to work with the GCMI Governments, and helping to ensure that policy frameworks are conducive to a fair, competitive and successful operating environment for Visa's current and future business. Given geopolitical boundaries, some regulatory policy advice will come from our GE team in Brussels, but there will be a need to consider national Regulatory Policy matters in each market.
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.
