Job Description
Visa’s Customer Journey Business Product team is a cross-functional organization responsible for driving product strategy and execution across the end-to-end customer journey from demand generation through sales, implementation, servicing, and growth. Our team operates as a true enterprise product organization, partnering closely with Sales, Customer Success, Implementation, Operations, Finance, Support, and Technology to design and scale capabilities that work consistently across Visa. Product leaders on this team own outcomes across the lifecycle, not just individual tools, and play a critical role in shaping how work scales across regions, value streams, and customer motions.
We are seeking a Director, Implementation & Activation Product Management to lead the product strategy for the post-sales customer experience, with a focus on implementation, onboarding, activation, and transition to ongoing customer success. This role will serve as the connective point between the seller and Customer Success teams, bringing together the systems, workflows, data, and governance needed to create a more seamless and connected post-sales journey. The leader in this role will be critical to driving revenue outcomes by improving time-to-value, activation, adoption, implementation efficiency, and visibility into post-sale performance.
Key Responsibilities:
- Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap for the Implementation / Activation value stream across the sales to post-sales customer journey.
- Design and scale a connected implementation and activation experience from deal through onboarding, go-live, early usage, and handoff to Customer Success.
- Bridge Sales, CS, Implementation, Finance, and Technology teams to align process, roles, systems, and customer milestones.
- Define the business architecture and workflow model that connects seller commitments, implementation readiness, customer onboarding steps, activation milestones, and ongoing success management.
- Drive platform and process improvements across CRM, onboarding, implementation, workflow, case management, customer communications, and reporting tools to reduce friction in the post-sale journey.
- Partner operations and customer-facing leaders to ensure implementation and activation motions support revenue targets, forecast accuracy, customer retention, and expansion readiness.
- Establish and monitor OKRs such as implementation cycle time, time-to-value, activation rate, onboarding completion, feature adoption, customer satisfaction, and post-sale revenue realization.
- Translate customer, seller, and operational pain points into prioritized product requirements, business cases, and delivery plans.
- Lead cross-functional governance for post-sales process standardization, while balancing enterprise consistency with regional and segment needs.
- Drive change management, field enablement, and adoption for new implementation and activation capabilities, workflows, and operating models.
