Capital One • McLean, VA

1d • $111,200 - $126,900 • Onsite

About The Position

As a Senior Associate on the ALCO Strategy team, you will act as the critical bridge between technical subject matter experts (SMEs) across Capital Markets & Analytics (CMA), partner teams, and our most senior stakeholders. You will have a front-row seat to how the company manages liquidity, capital, and market risk, directly supporting senior executives in driving their strategic agenda.
This role offers exceptional, highly visible exposure. You will evaluate some of the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing the Company and the banking industry today, crafting the narrative for the Board of Directors, the Chief Financial Officer, the Asset Liability Committee (ALCO), and a number of supporting Senior Management Committees.
Along the way, you will gain a broad, unparalleled education in funding, liquidity and interest rate risk management, capital strategy, and resolution planning — learning how different businesses impact Capital One's Treasury, Capital, and Balance Sheet Management strategy.
