As a key member of both the SMT Leadership team and the Asia Pacific (AP) Risk Leadership Team, the position will advise the Group Country Managers, Leadership Team and hub & global functional leads on strategies related to complex operational, financial, legal and regulatory risk exposures.
The successful candidate will lead a small team of Risk professionals responsible for fraud and risk management across Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia and Thailand. The team is supported by the resources of the AP Risk function across Asia Pacific as well as Global market support centers. These resources range from other sub-regional Heads of Risk, in-market Risk Managers, analysts and highly skilled Risk specialists in the areas of compromise management, data security, fraud analytics, and corporate risk
What a Head of Risk (SMT) does at Visa:
Reporting to the Asia Pacific Regional Risk Officer, the Head of Risk SMT is entrusted with a broad portfolio of responsibilities including Strategic Risk Management for the business, Credit Settlement Risk, Ecosystem Risk (Fraud & Data Security) and Regulatory Risk across regional South East Asia. The Head of Risk SMT will interact and represent Visa with Governments and Regulators, Banking and Law Enforcement agencies across each market. This sub-region includes some of Visa's fastest growing markets.
In addition to overseeing Strategic Risk Management, the Head of Risk will have responsibility for championing security in the industry and maintaining the integrity of the payments ecosystem in SMT. This complex and fast evolving ecosystem includes issuing and acquiring banks, merchants, cardholders, and service providers such as processors, device manufacturers, and payment gateways.
A strategic pillar is the development and implementation of Security Roadmaps for all key markets in the subregion. Security Roadmaps are a set of market-specific initiatives & goals backed by Visa Rules, mandates and incentives. The roadmaps are agreed collaboratively with clients & regulatory bodies to drive improvements in the security posture of the industry - underpinning Visa's reputation in security. Historically roadmaps included EMV adoption, PCIDSS adoption, 3-D Secure adoption and Consumer Awareness campaigns.
The Head of Risk will develop comprehensive Country Risk Plans, security priorities and execute strategies to prevent fraud, enhance user authentication, safeguard sensitive data, identify and respond to data breaches and prevent the misuse of the payment system for unlawful purposes. The Head of Risk is responsible for representing Visa's Credit Settlement Risk policy to protect Visa against financial loss in the case of a failure of an issuing or acquiring bank. The Head of Risk is also responsible for protecting Visa as the 2nd line of Defense by proactively governing corporate risks, frameworks and supervisory regulatory requirements.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop and execute a comprehensive risk plan that is consistent with local market landscape, market priorities and global risk strategy.

    • Assess emerging/innovation risks and new business models
    • Leverage local insights to contribute to Risk thought leadership

    • Identify opportunities to enhance the payment ecosystem and advance risk management best practices
    • Support constructive relationships with local market regulators and law enforcement agencies
  • Keep executive management informed of risk activities, issues and opportunities
    • Convey risk-related trends and developments to local country manager and leadership team through regular reporting
    • Synthesize marketplace feedback regarding the effectiveness of Visa's risk management strategy and programs; benchmark Visa's performance relative to other payment networks and participants
    • Guide Visa's proactive risk communications and collaboration across all of these stakeholders so as to advance the safety, security and long-term growth of the Visa payment system
    • Represent, inform, and advise executive management on top risks and the control environment status (including ERM, Regulatory Risk) across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand
Why this is important to Visa:
Visa owns the most recognizable global brand in the financial services industry. The key responsibilities will be to maintain trust in that brand, championing security in the industry and differentiating Visa in the eyes of clients and key stakeholders.
