We want to help Canadians succeed with credit, because we believe in people — in our customers, in our associates, and in talent like you! With your help, we’ll build the next generation of banking in Canada based on customer-focused values, compelling products and great engineering. Our Strategy & Analytics Roles are like management consulting, but better. From day one, you’ll have the opportunity to own and solve complex problems, using data-driven decision-making to enhance the overall business strategy, while still maintaining work/life balance. At Capital One, we love to give our Strategy Analyst Managers the opportunity to rotate to roles across various teams, so while this role is within the Product Strategy team, we will consider your application for multiple Strategy & Analytics teams as well as offer you the opportunity to rotate to new teams throughout your time at Capital One. This is part of our winning formula for creating great future leaders and as such, this role is well suited to high performers looking for growth opportunities. About the Team The Product Strategy team is a very cross-functional team that brings together Strategy Analysts with experts across the business to design our customer products and strategies. This team collaborates with our credit teams, marketing teams and product teams to analyse prospective and current customer behaviours to implement market leading product strategies. About the Role As a Manager on the Product Strategy Team you will optimize our customer products informed by your analysis of credit performance, market landscape, and customer preference. You will design and execute product tests to inform our strategy. You will oversee market and customer research, and couple these insights with internal data modeling to lead new solutions for our customers. From a technical perspective, you will leverage various coding and visualization tools. You will work with SQL to query data, use spreadsheets and Python-based notebooks to organize it, and Slides to present it, along with other modern analytics tools, such as Tableau and Quicksight. You will apply your strategic and analytical skills to major company challenges. You will develop and test strategies that ultimately impact the bottom line. And you'll do it all in a collaborative environment that values your insight, encourages you to take on new responsibility, promotes continuous learning, and rewards innovation. This role will evolve into a people leadership role, and you will join the Capital One Leads program, which focuses on developing people leadership skills to lead high-performing teams.
