UX Design Strategist, Principal Associate - Commercial Banking Design Team
It's a great time to join our Capital One Commercial Design Team and work for a growing, top 10 Commercial Bank in the US. Our design team solves complex problems at the forefront of rethinking how internal associates get their jobs done and how we service our customers. If you are passionate about human centered design methods and a storyteller who embraces rolling up your sleeves to understand the interplay in processes and people we would love to hear from you.
We are currently seeking a Design Strategist to join our team to help connect the processes, applications, and people across our end-to-end services to build clarity across the organization. We want to talk to you if you have proven experience in leading a project, creating the approach, managing scope and ambiguous project boundaries. You understand what it takes to build something truly desirable for users, viable for the business and operationally and technically feasible.
In this role, you'll be engaging regularly with various tech, data science, product teams and other stakeholders across the organization. So, communication and documentation of your work are key here. You are a team player who thrives in a collaborative environment. You're a good, honest partner who doesn't hold back in seeking input and insights from others while offering constructive criticism and sharing your knowledge openly.
Our broader commercial design team champions a thriving environment of collaboration, authenticity and healthy critique, in which we honor diversity of thought, create a culture of belonging, and elevate one another across the disciplines of the design craft.
