At Visa, you'll have the opportunity to create impact at scale — tackling meaningful challenges, growing your skills and seeing your contributions impact lives around the world. Join Visa and do work that matters – to you, to your community, and to the world. Progress starts with you. We are looking for a Senior Technical Program Manager to join our Digital Assets Treasury function. This is a high-impact, execution-focused role that sits at the intersection of blockchain technology, treasury operations, and complex financial infrastructure. You will serve as the primary driver of technical program ownership across a growing portfolio of cross-functional initiatives, bringing structure, accountability, and strategic clarity to work that is often ambiguous and fast-moving. This role exists because our function has scaled significantly in scope and stakeholder complexity and requires a dedicated layer of technical program ownership to operate effectively. You will work directly with the Head of Digital Assets Treasury and partner closely with product, engineering, finance, legal, and compliance teams to move critical initiatives forward.

You have run programs where the stakes were real and the scope was moving
Meaningful hands-on exposure to digital assets (custody workflows, on-chain settlement, blockchain transaction lifecycle, or similar) or sufficient to engage credibly with both technical teams and treasury stakeholders without a steep learning curve
Genuine intellectual curiosity about digital assets and the evolving intersection of blockchain technology and institutional finance. You follow the space, form opinions, and bring that perspective into your work
Strong written and verbal communication; you can present trade-offs and decisions clearly to an executive audience and make technical concepts accessible to a finance-oriented room
8 or more years of relevant work experience with a Bachelor Degree or at least 5 years of experience with an Advanced Degree (e.g. Masters, MBA, JD, MD) or 2 years of work experience with a PhD
7-10 years of progressive experience in technical project management, with at least 3-5 years operating in financial infrastructure, or a closely adjacent domain
Strong enterprise systems literacy with the ability to engage funds flow, system architecture, and integration logic at working level
Demonstrated experience owning and delivering complex, multi-workstream programs end to end
Meaningful hands-on exposure to digital assets. This may include custody operations, on-chain transaction management, Layer 1 / 2 infrastructure projects, or tokenization; familiarity must be sufficient to engage credibly without significant ramp time
