Our Capital One Strategic Analytics Team

Yes, we’re a credit card company. But we’re more than that too. We’re driven by what our customers want, and how to make their lives simpler. We’re always looking for creative ways to offer digital solutions that make sense for our customers. With your help, we’ll build the next generation of banking in Canada based on customer-focused values, compelling products and great engineering.

Working with us

How do we do things at Capital One Canada? We listen — to our people, and to our customers. We change with the times and have adopted a flexible hybrid model (remote and/or in-office). Associates working in the hybrid model are expected to come into the office 3 days a week across Tuesdays and Thursdays, reserving Mondays and Fridays as company-wide virtual days. As was true before the pandemic, expectations of being in the office will be balanced with personal life flexibility.

At Capital One we’re committed to diversity, inclusion and belonging. We strive to build a culture where diverse perspectives are valued, innovative ideas are encouraged and inclusive behaviours are embedded in everything we do to positively impact associates.

We’re focused on helping associates live well—physically, financially and emotionally. When you join us, we support you and those who are most important to you, offering full coverage for spouses, domestic partners, and dependents. We’ve designed our benefits program to be flexible, comprehensive and consistent across our organization.

A day in the life of a Capital One Strategy Analyst

As a Strategy Analyst, you’ll develop and apply analytical rigour, problem solving skills and critical thinking from day one. Embedded within a cross-functional team, you’ll bring your strategies to life from conception and analytical business case building to in-market delivery, measuring their impact through testing and monitoring. You’ll spend time gathering and visualizing data, storytelling through presentations, collaborating with experts in areas like legal and technology, and influencing senior leadership on critical decisions.

You’ll work with tools like SQL to query data, use spreadsheets and Python-based notebooks to organize it, and slides to present it, along with a number of other modern analytics tools. 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.

Our strategy analysts are deployed across all areas of our business - product design, fraud, customer acquisitions, customer management strategy, and more. Here are a few of the ways our Strategy Analysts are helping people take control of their credit:

• Underwriting (Credit Policy & Valuations): Strategy Analysts are responsible for assisting in developing & maintaining statistical models and the associated credit policies that help us determine who we extend credit to.

• Fraud: Strategy Analysts are responsible for developing the defences and policies to mitigate fraud losses for Capital One, creating a safe and secure experience for our customers.

• Product Development: Strategy Analysts are responsible for developing the strategies to test and scale new financial product offerings.

As a new Strategy Analyst, you’ll join the Canada Analyst Development Program (CADP), which takes place over your first year with us and involves hands-on training, a case competition, social and networking events, and more.

Responsibilities

• Perform modeling/analytics to assist new product and pricing strategies for various lending products.

• Develop direct-to-consumer marketing strategy and initiatives to support business growth objectives.

• Help build targeted insights to inform the design and development of new customer experiences.

• Support step-change improvements in credit performance by connecting drivers of future consumer credit trends to historical behaviour.

Basic Qualifications

• Graduating with a Master's or Bachelor's Degree between December 2024 and September 2025 in Commerce, Finance, Marketing, Economics, Business Administration, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics or a related field.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in basic coding and/or data visualization (e.g. SQL, Python, Tableau, QuickSight).

• Experience in analytical problem-solving.
