Overview

The Product Enablement Lead is responsible for designing, developing, maintaining, and delivering product learning experiences that help credit unions and MAP employees confidently adopt, use, and optimize MAP products and supporting Visa DPS platforms. This role owns the product enablement content lifecycle, from evaluating the learning impact of new products and enhancements through curriculum development, delivery, measurement, and ongoing content maintenance.

 

The ideal candidate combines practical credit and debit card processing experience with knowledge of fraud and dispute operations, credit union core environments, instructional design, and adult learning. The role translates complex product and operational information into clear, practical, hands-on learning experiences that support client readiness, product adoption, operational consistency, and a strong client experience.

This role helps shift MAP’s learning model from presentation-based training to experiential enablement focused on system proficiency, workflow execution, troubleshooting, decision-making, and operational readiness. Success is measured not only by training delivery, but by whether learners can confidently perform the work, navigate applicable systems, troubleshoot common scenarios, and apply their knowledge after training.
