Senior Manager, Product Manager- Spend Controls Lead (Business Cards & Payments)

Capital One • McLean, VA

11d

About The Position

We're hiring a Senior Manager, Product Manager to lead our Spend Controls Team within the Employee Spend pillar of Business Cards & Payments. Employee Spend owns the end-to-end job of helping small business owners put spending power in their employees' hands without losing control over how it's used, spanning everything from card issuance and policy setup, to real-time spend oversight, to expense reconciliation. Spend Controls owns the "oversee and control" half of that job: pre-authorization spend limits, virtual card controls (VCN), category and merchant-level policies, and the real-time decisioning that determines whether a transaction should go through before it ever clears. This is one of our most strategically important investment areas. It’s a core capability that differentiates Capital One's small business card products from competitors who only offer post-purchase expense review, and it's a foundational building block for our next-generation small business cards and software. In this role, You'll lead a team of product managers and analysts driving our pre-auth spend controls roadmap, our card management and VCN strategy, and the technical migration of our spend-limit decisioning platform onto modern infrastructure. You'll partner closely with engineering, design, risk, and our Enterprise platform partners to ship controls that actually change customer behavior - not just policies that exist on paper. This role reports to the Director of Product, Employee Spend, and sits alongside a peer Expense Management team; the two teams share a single roadmap and prioritization forum, since the differentiated customer experience we're building depends on both halves working as one connected product.
