Sr. Associate, Community Investment Portfolio - Grant Operations

External Affairs works with many external and internal stakeholders to envision and create a world of greater socioeconomic opportunity through advocating for an inclusive society, building thriving communities, and creating financial tools that enrich lives. Our teams include Communications, Community Impact and Investment, Community Finance, CRA Strategy and Program Management, the Government and Political Affairs Group, Regulatory Relations, and Strategy and Engagement. Through our teams, we have unparalleled access to a diverse group of motivated changemakers similarly focused on the ingredients for a more perfect future.

Our approach involves focusing on innovation and opportunity related to long term well being for our associates, customers, and communities. On the intersection between business and social impact. On disruption and dreaming of a better way. This is the language of changing things for the better.

The Community Impact and Investment team creates impactful community outcomes and positions Capital One as the most strategically bold, innovative, and mission driven financial institution through:

• fueling strategic community investments (e.g. grants, skills, loans)

• delivering insights, advice and resources that inform Capital One’s products and services

• activating the capabilities of “impact forward” associates

The Community Impact and Investment team supports Capital One through leading enterprise volunteerism, conducting market research, fostering community relationships, grant making, originating CDFI loans and partnering with and advising LOBs.

The Opportunity and Role:

Community Impact and Investment is kicking off a multiyear transformation to increasingly align business strategy and social impact; launch new, different, and more holistic approaches to investing in our communities; use Capital One’s volunteer time and talent in increasingly strategic ways; and use data, analytics, research, and inclusive design to inform more targeted and actionable consulting to our business partners on topics related to a broad view of financial inclusion.

We’re seeking a Sr. Associate to join our Grant Operations team, part of CI&I’s Community Investment Portfolio tower. The Grant Operations team is focused on writing, processing, and reporting on several hundred philanthropic grants that COF advances to community partners each year, the outcomes and impact of which will serve as inputs into future investment decisions.

In this role, you’ll be expected to demonstrate proficiency in the following areas:

• You will oversee the full grant process from application, to approval, to funding, to reporting.

• You will partner closely with our community partner relationship managers (who may sit in the CI&I associate, market, analysis and program towers) to set-up RFPs, RFIs or targeted grant applications through our Cybergrants system of record.

• You will be the primary point of contact for any partner organization that is working to process a grant from our team, coordinating any troubleshooting needed as they complete their application and move through the grantmaking process.

• You will monitor and process all funding transactions, ensuring we are operating in accordance with risk and compliance guidelines.

• You will ensure grant partners provide timely impact and outcome reports at the end of each grant period.

• You will support our qualitative narrative and ESG story writers to ensure our grant operations processes provide them the data needed to write impactful stories. This may include reaching out directly to partners if we are missing any key data, or it may include partnering with our storywriters to adapt our application and reporting systems to capture new or refined data from our partners.

• You will create reports on the portfolio as needed.

• You will partner with our CRA strategy team to ensure CRA-eligible grants are qualified for regulatory reporting.

We want you if you are:

• Impact-driven. You dream big. You desire to make the world a better place, and you get energy from working with others with similar passions to accomplish big, bold goals.

• Wired for Collaboration and Connection: You thrive in a matrixed organization because you know that together we can do better. You love the chance to share your perspective, to hear the perspectives of others, and to figure out how teams can collaborate.

• Do-er. You’re biased toward action, you try things and sometimes you fail. You love an MVP. You can get around your own roadblocks and you remove obstacles for your team to stay focused on goals.

• Improver. You are wired to see how all processes can be improved. You are always thinking about ways to streamline the process. And then you do.

Basic Qualifications:

• At least 1 year of experience working in a for-profit company

• At least 1 year of grant management experience

• High School Diploma, GED or equivalent certification

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in back office operations (e.g., transaction processing)
