About Capital One Canada

For 30 years, we’ve been on a mission to change banking for good and build relationships by making credit accessible, simple, intuitive and rewarding. We want to help Canadians succeed with credit, because we believe in people — in our customers, in our associates, and in talent like you!

At Capital One we’re laser focused on growth, and our Strategy Analysts are integral to moving us forward. You’ll combine deep data analytics with strategic decisioning to solve problems that actually move the needle. From day one you’ll have high ownership over your work and outcomes, seeing projects through from end to end. You’ll start in Product Strategy, and have the ability to rotate across the business to explore, learn new skills and ultimately carve your own career trajectory.

This role is a masterclass in business leadership designed for those who are energized by what’s possible and who challenge themselves and their peers to think bigger, as we collectively work towards our global mission.

About the Role

As a Strategy Analyst, you’ll develop and apply analytical rigor, 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, and ultimately being accountable for both customer and financial outcomes. 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.

From a technical perspective, you’ll have access to various coding and visualization tools. You’ll work with SQL to query data, use spreadsheets and Python-based notebooks to organize it, and Slides to present it, along with other modern analytics tools, such as Tableau and Quicksight.

To continue your learning, you’ll also join the Canada Analyst Development Program (CADP), which takes place over your first year with us. The program provides comprehensive foundational training not only in product strategy but also across various other key areas, including underwriting, fraud prevention, risk management, customer lifecycle, etc. to equip you with the skills and knowledge to make meaningful contributions to cross-functional projects.

Your Responsibilities:

• Perform modeling/analytics to assist and lead new product and pricing strategies for various lending products.
• Develop direct-to-consumer marketing strategies and initiatives to support business growth objectives.
• Help build targeted insights to inform the design and development of new customer experiences, as well as breakthrough technology and concepts designed to deliver on new go to market strategies.
• Support and lead step-change improvements in credit performance by connecting drivers of future consumer credit trends to historical behaviour, creating risk models, and testing hypotheses using rigorous monitoring and analysis.

Basic Qualifications:

• 2-5 years of experience, with an established history of leveraging analytical skills to effectively influence strategic decisions.
• A bachelor’s degree or higher.
• Experience working in a team environment, with a strong ability to collaborate effectively with others.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in coding (e.g. Complete SQL scripts, Python notebooks) and data visualization (e.g. Tableau, QuickSight). If you know how to build models or write code, that’s awesome. If not, we will help you learn it.
• Experience in analytical problem-solving.
