**What a Sr. Associate Counsel in Legal does at Visa**:
The position is for a seasoned data privacy, AI and technology attorney to join Visa's growing legal team. This role will focus in particular on supporting Visa's businesses in the AP and CEMEA regions in relation to data privacy, AI and cybersecurity, as a member of Visa’s Global Privacy Office team.

- Work closely with country and business teams to review and advise on the legal impact of new or updated data privacy or AI laws on new business initiatives, as well as existing products and services.
- Be an effective representative of the AP Legal team and AP/CEMEA member of the Global Privacy Office, and liaise with other regional and country lawyers in the AP region as well as other members of the Global Privacy Office team in implementing privacy policies and practices in Visa’s global privacy program.

- Be a dedicated resource/go to lawyer for various business functions that are providing products and services to Visa’s clients within the Value Added Services vertical, and play a leadership role in supporting the development and implementation of new data and AI-based solutions in the AP region.
- Drafting of standard product terms and templates for use in support of Visa’s current and new business initiatives across the Asia Pacific region.
- Draft, negotiate and drive to completion complex commercial, technology, or strategic partnership agreements in support of business objectives.
- Provide advice and guidance to product teams regarding deal structures and key risks and on identifying and resolving legal issues.

**Why this is important to Visa**:

This role is critical in ensuring that legal risks are identified and managed efficiently with relevant stakeholders while enabling our business to innovate and push across new frontiers (particularly in the fast-evolving technology, innovation, AI and data space). The Sr. Associate Counsel can look forward to being a key representative of a high performing legal team in advising and managing projects that drive innovation and development within the payments industry.

This is a hybrid position. Expectation of days in office will be confirmed by your Hiring Manager.
**Qualifications** What you will need**:

- Strong academic credentials, including a degree from a well-recognized and reputable law school
- Minimum 8+ years data privacy, AI and technology transactions experience, some of which must be at a top tier law firm or MNC
- Be able to work independently and interface with executive level stakeholders with little or no supervision, but also be a good team player
