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 Analyst Managers the opportunity to rotate to roles across various teams, so while this role is within the Credit Modeling 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 Underwriting & Valuations team consists of Strategy Analysts and Data Scientists who come together to build our models and policies which lead to our underwriting outcomes. This team collaborates with our best in class Credit Risk Management group to create robust analysis and implement credit based strategies.
About the Role
In this role, you will be the lead analyst responsible for determining the optimal underwriting strategy for your area of the business. You will perform complex analysis using model outputs and latest insights to determine and propose the winning strategy. You will present your recommendation and gain buy in from leadership. You will function as the lead analyst among a group of analysts, responsible for the teams' most complex problems and guiding junior analysts across the team.
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.
This role will eventually evolve into a people leadership role, and you will join the Capital One Leads program, which focuses on developing people leadership skills to lead high-performing teams.
Your Responsibilities:

  • You will be the lead analyst in one of the areas of underwriting and valuations, such as new applications or credit limit increases. You will have oversight of the most complex pieces of analysis in the area, including completing the analysis yourself and guiding the junior analysts on the team.
  • You will create and present the recommendations to senior leadership and gain buy-in to proceed with strategies, which you will then implement, monitor and continue to improve as you see your strategy evolve.
  • As the lead of your area, you will determine the strategic roadmap of the team and collaborate across the underwriting and valuations team to lead the change.
  • You will use technical analytical skills (such as SQL and Python) to complete the analysis.


Basic Qualifications:

  • At least 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
  • Experience in coding (e.g. Complete SQL scripts, Python notebooks) and presenting analytical information through slides and memos


Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience in underwriting and valuations with a basic understanding of credit card or other loan based underwriting
