Manager, Strategy & Analytics

A day in the life of a Capital One Manager, Strategy & Analytics

It’s like management consulting, but better. (Seriously) 

As a Manager, Strategy & Analytics, you’re not just charged with coming up with great strategies that sound good on paper, but are asked to bring them to life through end-to-end delivery, measuring their impact through testing and monitoring, and ultimately being accountable for both P&L and customer outcomes. 

You’ll lead a team of Analysts and other associates to gather and visualize data, storytell  through presentations, collaborate with experts in areas like legal and technology, and influence senior leadership on critical decisions. You’ll work with coding languages like SQL to query data, use spreadsheets and python-based notebooks to organize it, and slides to present it, along with a number of other modern analytics tools. We work in agile, cross-functional teams so you’ll also have the opportunity to learn from others like Data Scientists, Process Managers and Brand Strategists too.

You will apply your strategic and analytical skills to major company challenges. You’ll team up with world-class professionals to develop and test strategies that ultimately impact the bottom line. And you will do it all in a collaborative environment that values your insight, encourages you to take on new responsibility, promotes continuous learning, and rewards innovation.

Be ready to join a community with some of the most talented people you’ve ever met, who see the customer first, and want to use their skills to make a difference. And, as a founder-led company, we’re inspired to make, break, and do good. So, let’s create something great together.
