About Capital One
We're on our mission: to change the world of credit for better – one good thing at a time. You might think of us as a credit card company, but we're just as much a technology business. And we're here to make a positive difference – to our customers, our colleagues and society as a whole.
Strategy Analysts at Capital One
Our Strategy teams are fundamental in how we drive the business forward, but most importantly, how we work with our customers. We do this by using insightful data analysis and critical judgement skills to solve problems.
On this ten-week programme, you’ll be based within one of our core Strategy teams and from Day 1 you’ll take a bird’s eye view of our organisation whilst owning a real life business project. You will help identify new ways to improve every aspect of what we do and put forward your suggestions on how we can achieve this by the end of your internship. Great training and support from the team around you will be provided to ensure you have all the tools required for success!
You will be within one of our core Strategy teams and the work could range from developing the right products that meet our customers' needs, to finding innovative ways to attract new customers, providing support and tools to help our customers manage their finances or protecting them from fraud. Alongside this, you will also be trained and developed on some coding and analytical tools enabling you to really dig deep into the datasets.
And this internship isn’t just about honing your technical skills. There's plenty of scope for personal development too. You'll be assigned a manager, mentor and buddy to support and advise you along the way.
What you’ll need
We don’t mind what degree background you have, but we want to see your ability to identify solutions or opportunities using data and sound reasoning.
You will have a strong aptitude for maths, and can apply problem solving and creative thinking to come up with suitable recommendations.
You aren’t afraid to share your ideas and are regularly proactive and a self-starter.
You’ll have strong written and verbal communication skills and above all, someone who thrives in a collaborative environment which means working well with others, whilst also being focused on growth and development – yours and ours.
The Recruitment Process
To ensure a flexible and accessible process, every stage will be conducted virtually. You'll also have a dedicated recruiter to support you throughout and answer any questions you might have.
1. Step 1: After your initial application, if you meet the eligibility criteria you will be sent out online testing to complete, which consists of a situational and strengths, and a numerical and verbal reasoning assessment.
2. Step 2: Next up, you will be invited to complete a one way video interview.
3. Step 3: You’ll get to (virtually) meet with one of our Strategy Analysts to complete a case study interview.
4. Step 4: The assessment day, which consists of a group activity, case study and individual interview, and if successful we’ll offer you a place on the programme!
