Job Description

Team background: The North America Executive Office & Initiatives team advances the regional strategic agenda through operational excellence, innovation, and client-centric execution.  

We are hiring an Analyst of Applied AI Solutions to sit within a small, applied AI pod that will embed directly into North America business teams (beginning with Sales and the Business Operations/Regional President Executive Office team) to design and deliver practical, high impact AI solutions that improve how work gets done. As one of the first teams of its kind at Visa, this role is well suited for an entrepreneurial builder who enjoys tackling unfamiliar challenges, building relationships across the organization, and finding creative paths forward when the tools, processes, and playbook are still being developed.

Job Description: The Analyst, Applied AI Solutions is a hands-on builder responsible for developing internal AI-powered tools, agents, and automations that address real business workflows and repeated manual efforts. The role focuses on rapid solutioning, iterative development, and deployment of AI applications, working closely with their embedded business team and pod lead to deliver high quality, reusable solutions. Success is defined by understanding the target workflow and delivering an effective, durable AI solution that users adopt. Analysts will also support documentation, walkthroughs, and light enablement for solutions they build, so strong communication with non-technical audience is key.

Key Responsibilities: 

• Serve as the embedded applied AI builder for your assigned team, acting as the primary builder, advisor, and problem-solver for AI-enabled workflow transformation. 
• Translate scoped workflow needs and AI requests into concrete technical solutions using modern AI development workflows. 
• Identify and replace manual or inefficient workflows by designing and building internal AI-powered tools, agents, and automations that integrate with Visa’s systems and ways of working.  
• Iterate quickly on prototypes and solutions based on feedback from the pod lead and end users.  
• Templatize and document solutions to support reuse, maintainability, and scale.  
• Support adoption of delivered solutions by contributing usage documentation, demos, or walkthroughs in partnership with the pod lead.  
• Adhere to established standards for security, quality, and responsible AI usage within Visa environments. 

Please include (1) a clear summary (no more than one paragraph) of why you are interested in doing this work at Visa, and (2) at least 2 examples of shipped GenAI/LLM solutions with tangible artifacts (code, demo, or written walkthrough). Resumes without these two items will NOT be considered, thank you.

This is a hybrid position. Expectation of days in office will be confirmed by your Hiring Manager.
