Senior Manager, Data Analysis - Enterprise Supplier Management

At Capital One, data is at the center of everything we do. When we launched as a startup we disrupted the credit card industry by individually personalizing every credit card offer using statistical modeling and the relational database, cutting edge technology in 1988! Fast-forward a few years, and this little innovation and our passion for data has skyrocketed us to a Fortune 200 company and a leader in the world of data-driven decision-making.

As a Senior Manager, you will partner cross-functionally with teams throughout the company to validate business impacting analytical tools. You will enhance your technical and analytical skills, while also working with leaders to influence business strategies. With a network of hundreds of Data Analysts, Quants, and Data Scientists, challenging projects with an eye on the bottom line and a focus on work/life balance, we’ve created a dynamic environment with plenty of room for you to learn, grow, and realize your full potential.

Capital One spends over $17B annually with 1000s of third parties, and the Enterprise Supplier Management (ESM) organization is central to driving growth, efficiency, and risk management transformation across the entire company. As a strategic leader within our growing Strategy & Analytics team, you will serve as a core architect in building and delivering ESM’s long-term strategy—rallying around our mission to "Unleash Third Party Value".
In this role, you will sit at the intersection of Senior Leadership, Product, Technology, Analyst, Risk, and Operations teams. You will partner closely with leadership and performers across ESM, Risk, Due diligence partners, and Lines of Business (LOBs) to evaluate complex business models, drive strategic priorities, and develop data products to enable new analysis and insights. You’ll help shape the strategic direction of ESM, collaborate closely with ESM’s Business and Financial Analyst teams, and work with key stakeholders across the organization to help achieve our top priorities.

This is a premier opportunity for a data leader looking to help us transform our platforms, our data products, and the way that we can analyze and instrument our business to drive strategic outcomes. This leader will help craft and implement our data strategy, lead the work of a team of 4+ Data Analysts, mentor top analytical talent, and influence the direction of these critical capabilities for Capital One.
