Job Description

Capital One's Card Core Platform team is defining the roadmap that will enable our new and well managed customer experiences and capabilities while leveraging the latest innovations. In an industry rooted in mainframe systems and batch processes, we are driving toward a cloud-based, API/microservice architected, real-time data environment. The world is moving toward faster payments and Capital One is not just ahead of the curve, but defining it.

The Senior Associate, Product Management for the Card Core Platform team plays a critical role in achieving our goals. As a Product Owner you will work with architects, data scientists, service designers, process engineers and developers to translate human insights, dependent platform, app, segment needs, downstream user feedback, and technology capabilities into scalable, resilient, and efficient user-centric services. You will develop end-to-end solutions to help us better serve Card customers.

The ideal candidate will be collaborative and have a passion for solving problems. You will leverage your design thinking skills, combined with your understanding of technology and business, to find creative and targeted solutions to our end users, as you develop new capabilities on our billing platform. You’ll need to be equally comfortable navigating the development with our tech partners as you are communicating user experience, operational fulfillment, and risk with our business partners.

• Business Focused
  • Demonstrating a growth mindset, you’ll effectively use hypothesis-driven assessment of data to ensure your product or feature delivers on real business needs.
  • You’ll own and prioritize feature development roadmaps, ensuring all necessary processes and procedures are followed to manage risk.
• Technology Driven
  • You’ll work autonomously in an agile environment, to conduct research and develop features that utilize new and evolving technology.
  • You’ll collaborate with designers, technologists, data scientists and subject-matter experts to build cutting edge solutions to help customers.
  • You’ll deliver well-managed product platforms for customers by seeking to understand technology trends and architecture strategy.
• Transformational Leadership
  • By actively participating in horizontal forums, you’ll harness a network of trusted relationships among tech teams, designers, key internal stakeholders and partner teams.
  • You’ll articulate a succinct product roadmap to deliver business value and share with stakeholders, elevating your team’s results and becoming a product matter expert.

• Passionate & Customer Focus
  . You care about growing others and bringing them together around what’s possible. You get a thrill from the journey of building and shipping products, and you have a desire and ability to connect with our external or internal customers to fully understand their needs.
