We’re on a mission to be a force for good in lending.

Hear from our team about what it’s like working at Capital One UK.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Finance Senior Associate to broaden their experience in this varied role, supporting multiple Finance teams as we implement a new ERP system. You will be at the forefront of departmental change, playing a pivotal role in the ERP conversion project, specifically focusing on project delivery, testing, and process remediation.

We are looking for a dynamic, self-motivated individual with an accounting or risk background who is comfortable navigating the complexities of a large-scale program for ERP modernization. You will be expected to leverage a strong “risk and controls” mindset to ensure the integrity of our financial workflows and be able to work to deadlines for the successful execution of critical project milestones.

• Experience in finance projects, ability to operate in "grey spaces," demonstrating dynamic problem-solving and transparent communication when managing conflicting deadlines
• A team player who can work independently or collaboratively to build strong relationships across the department, including with offshore teams
• Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail and the initiative to manage your own time effectively at a fast pace across multiple high-priority tasks.
