Business Analyst Associate - 2022

In our 25 years as a founder-led public company, Capital One has grown from a small, credit card start-up that pioneered the use of predictive modeling into one of the largest, fastest-growing, and most dynamic financial technology companies. At Capital One, we believe our success is fueled by data-driven insights, deep customer understanding, and innovative business strategy. We've helped transform cities and communities by attracting incredibly talented associates with the audacity to think they can change the world and the humility to understand they need a whole lot of help to make it happen.

If you're interested in Capital One and a development program that enables you to build a strong foundation by focusing on deep analytical challenges and business strategy, then the Analyst Development Program is a great place to begin your career journey.

• Develop hypotheses and set up your own problem frameworks to test for the best solutions. You will also scope the operational feasibility, lead implementation efforts, and monitor the success of your solutions.
  
• Learn how to leverage new tools and technologies. For example, using machine learning to determine how we lend to customers.
  
• Help create new solutions rooted in empathy and research that assist all customers as they work to better manage their finances.
