Manager - Product Management - Payments

Capital One offers industry-leading credit cards, checking accounts, savings accounts, auto loans, and other financial products that are central to the way that more than 65 million people live every day. Making payments is integral to managing their money.

Capital One's Enterprise Payments team is defining the roadmap that will enable the bank's overall digital payments strategy, modernizing existing payment types and introducing the latest innovations. In an industry rooted in mainframe systems and batch processes, we are driving toward a cloud-based, API/microservice architected, real-time data environment. The world is moving toward faster payments and Capital One is not just ahead of the curve, but defining it. We are a tech-centric company and an innovation laboratory within the only founder-led, top 10 bank in the U.S.

The Product Manager for the Enterprise Payments team plays a critical role in achieving our goals. This is a highly collaborative role, where the individual will work closely with a team of product managers as well partnering with designers, engineers, data scientists, operations, and business partners to transform the experience for all of our customers. Through this collaboration, the individual will shape the product strategy and then develop, launch, and enhance payments experiences that will meet the unique needs of our customers, ranging from consumer to small business to commercial personas across both lending and deposit products.

Your product forms a key cornerstone of Capital One's payments experience - blending digital design with backend integration to provide our internal and external customers the ability to transact in real time with straight through processing. To fit the bill, you will need to have deep passion for Payments along with product-centric thinking that analyzes problems, develops simple and intuitive solutions and then, working with our agile teams, delivers those user experiences on the latest technologies. You'll need to be equally comfortable navigating the development with our tech partners as you are communicating user experience, operational fulfillment, and risk with our business partners.
