| Manager, Business Analysis (GBR)-708802 Description
Role Profile for a Business Analyst Background
Business Analysts are central to Capital One’s business model, history and culture. Capital One was created as an independent entity in 1994, on the premise that it would succeed with Information Based Strategy (IBS), by using information more effectively than powerful, entrenched competition. Since then, thanks substantially to the power of IBS, Capital One has been phenomenally successful. It has emerged as one of the largest and most profitable banks in the USA, with ambitious international businesses in both Canada and the UK. The Business Analyst Job Family
The Business Analyst job family is at the heart of Capital One’s IBS strategy. A Business Analyst is expected to make a major contribution to Capital One’s short and long term success, by harnessing the power of information for better decision making. Successful Business Analysts, at all levels, will therefore be able to work fluently with a wide variety of information sources, combining a strategic understanding of competitive and industry trends, with qualitative feedback from consumer focus groups or line operations, and a detailed analysis of transaction level information on credit card accounts. She or he will be able to synthesize and articulate the insights arising from this information into coherent market-facing strategies, and will be able to motivate and lead the broader organisation to deliver on this strategic intent. What is on offer?
Capital One is looking for top-tier talent to extend the Business Analyst family and enable the organisation to fulfil some exciting opportunities. Compensation, training and learning, and career progression opportunities are therefore aligned with the needs of this key talent. Capital One also offers a special and unique culture of camaraderie, fun and personal growth. Business Analysts are seen as a key source of top management talent within Capital One. Alumni from Capital One’s Business Analyst track have also gone on to be highly successful externally, and include entrepreneurs, consultants, business leaders in other industries. The Business Analyst role at Capital One can be compared to a Strategy Consultant externally, with the exception that our Business Analysts get to see their projects through, right until completion. The ability to see the results of your work can be very fulfilling and provides the learning insight that is necessary to continuously improve and develop. Role Requirements
