Embedded within a cross-functional team, you will have the autonomy to gather and analyze data, build complex business cases with innovative recommendations, and collaborate with various business partners to execute delivery.
Working in an agile, cross-functional team you’ll also have the opportunity to learn from other job families like data scientists, process managers, and product owners. From a technical perspective, you will have access to various coding and visualization tools.

Perform analysis on credit performance to help influence how we update and optimize our models & policies.
Marketing Strategy: Develop A/B test plans to improve marketing efficiency across multiple channels (i.e. Search Engine Marketing, Display, etc.), with credit risk top of mind. Understand and quantify the impact of marketing through analysis and test design, such as geo-split tests.
Fraud Strategy: Develop defenses and policies to mitigate fraud losses for Capital One, creating a safe and secure experience for our customers. Perform diligent monitoring to understand emerging fraud trends and implement actions to prevent fraudulent behaviour.
Mobile Strategy: Develop initiatives to help drive mobile adoption and usage. Work closely with other team members on crafting test plans and launching initiatives by leveraging a plethora of mobile data to guide discovery of user personas and recommend features.
