  • Delivering insights, advice and resources that inform Capital One’s products and services

  • Activating the capabilities of “impact forward” associates

  • You’ll partner closely with your market team, your peers on our analytics program team, and other business lines to write proposals for new investments.

  • You’ll tell the story of the investment strategy in the markets that you oversee

  • You will support strategic initiatives on behalf of Market Engagement inclusive of multi-region opportunities.

You love the chance to share your perspective, to hear the perspectives of others, and to figure out how teams can collaborate.

  • Do-er. You’re biased toward action, you try things and sometimes you fail. You can get around your own roadblocks and you remove obstacles for your team to stay focused on enterprise goals.

  • Intellectually Curious, with a strong Point of View. You ask why, you explore, you’re comfortable with ambiguity, you’re hungry to learn and a seeker of new challenges. You use this curiosity to develop and then refine, and refine, and refine your POVs.
