Fueling strategic community investments (e.g. grants, skills, loans)
Delivering insights, advice and resources that inform Capital One’s products and services

Build an Intelligence Product, Repeatable Processes, Resources and Tools that Meet Customer Needs

You’ll own the end-to-end process and project management for the development and build of this new capability, from conceptualization to design to implementation to iteration
Harness and Leverage Data to Inform Decision Making
You’ll create a communications product that packages critical intelligence and insights into actionable recommendations for strategic dissemination to a variety of internal customers to support their decision-making as it relates to grant investments, strategic alliances, emerging local events, reputational lift, and program design
You’ll produce reports, case studies, and presentations to share key findings with and across internal teams, leadership, and other stakeholders
You’ll serve as thought leader and contributor of hyper-local market data and intelligence for incorporation into Capital One-led conference sessions, convenings, hothouses, and other strategic events
You will attend key conferences and convenings nationwide in partnership with GILs and executives to systematically capture and disseminate key insights to inform decision-making, while managing a repeatable process for others across the team to do the same
Test, Learn, and Scale
You’ll monitor and report KPIs for your products, tools and interaction models and will be responsible for measuring and tracking those metrics, with an eye to adjusting and refining your strategy as the data and customer needs dictate
You’ll relentlessly seek ways to automate, streamline, and document our work to build the capacity of our team, our internal customers, and partners
We want you if you are:
Impact-driven. You dream big. You desire to make the world a better place, and you get energy from working with others with similar passions to accomplish big, bold goals.

Customer Focused. You care about doing what’s best for the community and for Capital one’s associates. You don’t shy away from hard conversations or nuanced decision making because you know the best outcomes often go hand in hand with tough decisions. For the sake of the associate experience, you are comfortable holding your partners and your own team accountable for results.
Process Oriented. You loathe inefficient processes and look for ways to streamline and document everything you touch. You enjoy creating new processes when it is needed.
Enablement is your middle name. You are passionate about building tools that enable others, because you get energized by seeing those around you enabled to do their best work.
