About Capital One Canada
For 30 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!
About the Team
Product Management Directors are strategic thinkers and dedicated problem-solvers who lead product teams to drive step changes in high value outcomes for our organization and our customers. You will re-imagine how people interact with money across a portfolio of products creating experiences that simplify and enhance our customers' lives while delivering measurable business impact.
We are building, not only for our customers but also for our teams, as we develop our talent, mature our management systems, and lead from the front on culture as we embrace the possibilities with AI. We believe that being a world class fintech product leader requires embracing the challenge of goal setting and measurement across multiple time horizons and dimensions (growth, customer experience, compliance risk, fraud risk, operational risk, credit risk, etc.).
Examples of how Directors of Product and their teams create customer value that directly accelerates our growth at Capital One:

• Defining the strategy for our application funnel to maximize conversion and optimize acquisition across our credit card products
• Setting strategy for and delivering on capabilities and platforms (e.g. mobile app, messaging, experimentation, data) to enable growth and experience teams to move with speed, confidence and quality
• Overseeing a portfolio of products dedicated to deepening customer engagement, such as launching and optimizing credit monitoring tools to drive engagement and long-term financial health

If you want to take a big swing at giving Canadians the banking they deserve, this opportunity is for you.
