Strategy Analyst Graduate

At Capital One, we're on a mission to be a force for good in Lending - and we want you to join us.

We are one of the largest credit card providers in the UK, combining data-driven innovation with a customer-focused approach to help millions of people succeed with credit. Throughout our 30-year history, we've consistently been recognised as a great place to work; in 2026, Capital One was officially ranked 9th in the UK's Best Workplaces list.

Our Strategy Analysts shape key business decisions across the customer lifecycle, from idea to execution. They form strategic recommendations supported by great analytical insight, get buy-in from senior leadership, and deliver change in market with cross-functional teams.

And as a graduate, you'll have real responsibility from day 1. You will be based in one of our strategy teams, with a peer buddy, mentor and manager on hand to help you get up to speed. We will train you to use best-in-class coding and analytical tools, and then you'll get your first project to lead. And as you become more experienced, you'll grow your impact further.

Because there's a wide variety of strategic work, rotations are a core part of the culture. Moving across teams helps our graduates become well-rounded, strategic thinkers, able to dive into a new context and quickly get up to speed.

• Finding innovative ways to attract new customers and ensure our products meet their needs.

• Redesigning our card pricing strategy to maximise value.

• Creating strategies to support our customers to manage their finances, build their credit, or protect them (and us) from fraud.

• Considering how we should adapt our lending policy to a changing macroeconomic environment.

To set you up for success we ask that you have or are currently studying towards a STEM or Economics degree, and have a Maths A Level (or equivalent).

Outside of subjects, we're interested in how your mind works. We're looking for someone who:

• Has excellent quantitative skills.

• Can solve complex business problems with a data-driven approach.

• Has clear and effective written & verbal communication.

• Is motivated to drive business change.

• Has curiosity to learn and take ownership of your work and development.

And don't worry, you do not need any prior coding experience - we will train you up.

As a Strategy Analyst Graduate, you'll have the opportunity to work on varied and challenging work that has a real impact on our business and our customers.

We will invest in you, with technical skills training when you first join, and personal development training throughout your first two years. We'll give you the tools you need to become a well rounded analyst, a strategic thinker, and a great communicator.

There's no limit to how far you can go with us. Our Strategy Analysts are the future leaders of our business - both our current and former CEO joined as graduates! We reward high performance and we promote people when they're ready for the next level - so you can go far, and fast.

In addition to career development, our comprehensive benefits package is designed to grow with you, ensuring your wellbeing is prioritised at every stage of your career:

• Wealth & Future:
  Competitive pension and performance-based bonus schemes

• Holidays:
  Start with 25 days of annual leave, increasing with tenure. Need more? You have the option to buy 5 additional days.

• Health:
  Access premium care through our private medical insurance, and our free fully equipped Nottingham gym.

This is a permanent full-time position based in either our Nottingham or London office.

We embrace a hybrid approach to work. You'll spend three days a week in the office (Tuesday to Thursday), with Monday and Friday being optional work-from-home days.

We pride ourselves on hiring the best people, not the same people. Building diverse and inclusive teams is the right thing to do and the smart thing to do. We want to work with top talent: whoever you are, whatever you look like, wherever you come from. We know it's about what you do, not just what you say. That's why…
