Business Director, Card Technology Analytics

As a Director of Business Analysis at Capital One, you will apply your strategic and analytical skills to major company challenges. In this role you will lead Card Technology Analytics, a premier analytical organization tasked with measuring, optimizing, and unleashing the execution power of ~900 teams across Card Tech+. This organization acts as the analytical engine behind our goal to ‘Transform How We Build Software’ at Capital One, delivering the data insights necessary to guide and accelerate strategic engineering outcomes.

The core mission of Card Tech Analytics is to chart the path to automate everything but the creative problem solving in developing software by leveraging initiative analysis, overall delivery analysis, and data foundations. This work directly drives our ultimate vision: to realize an engineering landscape of total operational transparency, where deep data insights unlock developer productivity and elevate the quality of our services.

To achieve this, you will orchestrate the team's long‑term and short‑term strategy, transforming raw developer infrastructure telemetry into actionable intelligence. A primary output of this organization includes business cases for new tools, monitoring emerging patterns and new tool effectiveness, senior executive insights and strategic reporting. These deliverables provide comprehensive transparency into developer productivity and experience metrics across the Card Tech+ organization.
