Risk Specialist, Issues and Events Management (US Card)

As a Risk Specialist within the US Card Risk Event and Issues team you will join a collaborative environment focused on learning and contributing to our critical event and issue management processes. This role is designed for individuals eager to dive in and help close out existing items while building a strong foundation in risk management practices at Capital One.

You will work alongside experienced risk managers, business leads and Card Governance, gaining hands‑on experience with the entire lifecycle of an issue or event—from initial analysis and solution identification to execution and closure.

You will use your communication and influencing skills by interacting with partners across various levels of the organization. Strong attention to detail and a desire to adapt to a dynamic environment are essential. This position is a foundational step, setting the stage for your personal career growth within Capital One.
