  • Drafting, updating, and managing template agreements and clause libraries to allow for a more efficient contract administration process and conducting regular trainings to sales account executives
  • Providing day-to-day legal support and strategic legal guidance to Visa’s account executives responsible for managing U.S. client relationships, effectively balancing legal, regulatory, and reputation risks with the achievement of business OKRs and scorecard goals
  • Reviewing and providing legal approval of external presentations and other written client-facing materials
  • Coordinating closely with the global deal team regarding incentive deals with U.S. based clients that cover multiple regions, inclusive of the U.S.
