About Capital One Canada

For over 20 years, we’ve been on a mission to change banking for good and build relationships by making credit accessible, simple, intuitive and rewarding. We want to help Canadians succeed with credit, because we believe in people — in our customers, in our associates, and in talent like you! 

Yes, we’re a credit card company, but we’re more than that too. With your help, we’ll build the next generation of banking in Canada based on customer-focused values, compelling products and great engineering. Our Strategy & Analytics Roles are like management consulting, but better. From day one, you’ll have the opportunity to work on solving complex problems, using data-driven decision making to enhance the overall business strategy, while still maintaining work/life balance. 

At Capital One, we love to give our Strategy Analysts the opportunity to rotate to roles across various teams, so while this role is within the Product Strategy team, we will consider your application for multiple Strategy & Analytics teams as well as offer you the opportunity to rotate to new teams throughout your time at Capital One. This is part of our winning formula for creating great future leaders and as such, this role is well suited to high performers looking for growth opportunities.

About the Team

The Product Strategy team is a very cross-functional team that brings together Strategy Analysts with experts across the business to design our customer products and strategies.  This team collaborates with our credit teams, marketing teams and product teams to analyse prospective and current customer behaviours to implement market leading product strategies. 
 

About the Role

In this role, you will dive into a wide range of data and insights to propose the next product strategy.  You’ll design product tests to find the best new product offerings. You’ll conduct market and customer research, and couple these insights with internal data modeling to propose new solutions for our customers. 

From a technical perspective, you’ll have access to various coding and visualization tools. You’ll work with SQL to query data, use spreadsheets and Python-based notebooks to organize it, and Slides to present it, along with other modern analytics tools, such as Tableau and Quicksight. 

To continue your learning, you’ll also join the Canada Analyst Development Program (CADP), which takes place over your first year with us. The program provides comprehensive foundational training not only in product strategy but also across various other key areas, including underwriting, fraud prevention, risk management, customer lifecycle, etc. to equip you with the skills and knowledge to make meaningful contributions to cross-functional projects.  

Your Responsibilities: 

• You will be responsible for one of the products, diving deep into current performance, analysing marketing insights and proposing the strategies to continue to grow the product. 

• You will build the case to bring strategies to market and work with product and technology teams to implement them.  With our in-house technology, you get to see your work through to delivery in real time. As the owner of the strategy, you can then evaluate performance and continue to adjust and improve your strategy as needed.

• As the expert of your area, you will influence the strategic roadmap of the team and collaborate across the product strategy team to drive change to our customer experiences.

• You will use technical analytical skills (such as SQL and Python) to complete the analysis - don’t worry if you don’t know this now, we will help you learn.

Basic Qualifications:

• 2-5 years of experience, with an established history of leveraging analytical skills to effectively influence strategic decisions  

• A bachelor’s degree or higher

• Experience working in a team environment, with a strong ability to collaborate effectively with others

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in product strategy or digital marketing with a basic understanding of credit card or other loan based underwriting

• Experience in coding (e.g. Complete SQL scripts, Python notebooks) and data visualization (e.g. Tableau, QuickSight). If you know how to build models or write code, that’s awesome. If not, we will help you learn it.
