Job Description

Visa’s Internship Program provides an immersive, 12-month journey where you’ll work on impactful projects that drive Visa’s mission forward. As a Visa intern, you’ll build valuable connections across the organization, sharpen your communication and business acumen, and gain hands-on experience in a dynamic, global environment. 

Throughout the program, you’ll have exclusive access to interactive workshops and learning sessions designed to deepen your expertise, expand your industry knowledge, and elevate your professional skillset. You won’t just be learning, you’ll be contributing, collaborating, and innovating every step of the way.

The experience culminates in an exciting final presentation, where you’ll showcase your project achievements, share key insights, and present your recommendations to Visa’s leaders and stakeholders. This is your chance to demonstrate your business impact, highlight your personal growth, and align your work with Visa’s vision for the future.

Team and Role Overview

The CARCAM Digital Products & Innovation team drives and scales payment solutions that extend Visa’s reach beyond traditional card models. As part of the region’s Non-Card Strategy, the team leads initiatives like Visa Accept and Visa Pay to accelerate merchant digitization, enhance interoperability across payment ecosystems, and support the transition from cash to digital payments throughout Central America and the Caribbean.

As a Non-Card Strategy & Visa Accept Governance Intern, you will contribute to a strategic regional growth initiative. Your primary project will involve designing and implementing an AI-enabled governance framework that provides end-to-end visibility of Visa Accept initiatives across CARCAM. The framework will include automated reporting, implementation tracking, risk identification, merchant onboarding and performance monitoring, and executive dashboards to support decision-making.

You will engage with Product, Sales, Technology, Client Services, and Market teams to help strengthen control and execution consistency across complex, first-time implementations in multiple countries. This internship advances three objectives: accelerating cash-to-digital conversion, expanding merchant acceptance, and enabling new merchants to successfully ramp up with Visa Accept.

As part of this team, you will have the opportunity to take on responsibilities that broaden your skills and exposure to multiple functions. Visa supports ongoing learning and development as you explore meaningful work aligned with your professional aspirations.

All Visa roles require digital fluency, including comfort with emerging tools such as Generative AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot) for everyday work.

Some job duties and projects could include, but are not limited to:

AI Governance and Program Management 
• Design and implement an AI-enabled governance framework for Visa Accept initiatives across CARCAM
