Risk Managers at Capital One are the front line of defense to ensure our Company remains stable and profitable.

The Risk Management Risk (RMR) Office is seeking a highly motivated Risk Advisor to apply their analytical, risk, communication, and project management skills in support of the Risk Tech and Product organizations. In this role, you will oversee several work streams supporting the Risk Tech and Product organizations, including periodic risk assessments and controls testing.

You will advise on policy adherence and support end to end remediation activities. As the Business Continuity Lead for Risk Tech, you will facilitate tabletop exercises to support disaster readiness and response efforts and ensure compliance with business continuity requirements.

RMR Risk Advisors combine technical knowledge with the ability to manage and assess risks across cloud-native software platforms. Successful performance of this role includes fostering accountability and collaboration across all stakeholders, both technical and non‑technical. You must be comfortable asking tough questions, challenging assumptions, and providing clear, actionable recommendations to ensure risks are properly managed without unnecessary delays.

• Manage Business Continuity activities for Risk Tech, including Business Continuity Plan updates and tabletop exercises
• Monitor issue remediation, tracking, and closure
• Communicate technical issues and risks to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders in clear, concise language
• Engage in routine Risk Assessments, including Process Level Assessments, driving influential outcomes
• Maintain a proactive stance in escalating risks when necessary and ensure alignment with organizational goals
• Analyze data within managed work streams to proactively identify risks, trends, and process improvements
• Provide MBR and other metric inputs as required

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree or military experience
• At least 5 years of experience working in technical audits or technical risk management
• At least 3 years of experience interacting with internal audit, business continuity, or centralized risk and compliance teams

Preferred Qualifications:

• 6+ years of experience working in technical audits or technology risk management
• 4+ years of experience interacting with or engaging with internal audit, business continuity, or centralized risk and compliance teams
• 3+ years of Process Management or Project Management
• Robust critical thinking skills
• Excellent problem‑solving, written, and verbal communication skills
