At Capital One, we're on a mission to Change Banking for Good. All across the company, technology is powering breakout innovation, scalable risk management, increased efficiency, and award winning products, and our passionate and committed associates are at the heart of all of it.

We're looking for a go-getter to lead risk event and issue management for two fast growing areas within Capital One: Premium Products & Experiences and Capital One Shopping. You will guide our business partners through the process of scoping breakdowns, registering breakdowns in our proprietary system of record, ensuring timely containment and recovery activities, and supporting root cause analysis. This is a fast-paced environment, and we need someone interested in driving sustainable solutions and ensuring well-managed process excellence. If you are a natural problem solver with a passion for organization and an intrinsic drive to own the outcome and "get it done," we need you!

Specific responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Manage the Event and Issue lifecycle, including timely scoping of breakdowns and record creation in our system of record (Fuse), using established processes and standards

• Partner with Risk Advisors and Legal and Compliance partners to understand risk exposure from breakdowns to provide guidance and recommendations to the business on customer recovery, containment, and remediation

• Guide business partners through root cause analysis to ensure breakdowns are fully understood and to influence sustainable containment activities to prevent similar future breakdowns

• Coordinate, influence, and negotiate priorities with partner dependencies to ensure event goals/timelines are met, escalating when appropriate

• Assist with research and problem-solving as needed to support risk advisors and business partners

• Participate in LOB and Enterprise risk forums and contribute to continuous improvement of risk management practices

• Proactively provide Fuse training and development for teammates and others, as necessary

• Identify and drive continuous process improvement opportunities to streamline issue/event management lifecycle, including opportunities to leverage AI tools

• Curious and Analytical : You ask why, challenge the status quo, and bring your unique perspective to the table. You are comfortable with ambiguity and are a truth seeker. You make it your business to understand the data and signals to drive optimized solutions that are grounded in evidence.

• Up for a Challenge and Fungible : Big, undefined, unfamiliar, and complex problems will be exciting for you as you navigate the business and risk eco-systems. You have an insatiable appetite for learning, and are constantly seeking out new challenges.

• Collaborative and Team-Oriented : You proactively seek to build strong, positive relationships with key stakeholders at all levels to manage, inform, and influence outcomes. You value diverse perspectives and seek insights from others. You bring energy to the group and rally them around a common goal.
