- Represent Tink at industry events, conferences, and client forums in the UK&I market
- Provide market intelligence and competitive insights to Product and Marketing teams
- Contribute to go-to-market strategy for new Tink product launches in the region
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Work closely with Visa's wider UK&I sales teams to identify joint opportunities
- Partner with Legal, Compliance, and Risk teams to navigate complex deal structures
- Maintain accurate forecasting and pipeline data in Salesforce / Visa CRM systems
This is a hybrid position. Expectation of days in office will be confirmed by your hiring manager.
