Principal Associate, Risk Project Manager

Richmond, VA

Center 3 (19075), United States of America, McLean, Virginia

Principal Associate, Risk Project Manager

Capital One is one of the fastest growing organizations in the world today. The growth of the business is being accelerated by leveraging innovative and emerging technologies. We are serious about technology, we dream big, and we execute: Capital One moved our entire enterprise to the public cloud over the course of five years, fully exiting our data centers. Just as we prioritize driving innovation through technology, we equally prioritize cybersecurity and managing technology risk.

Security is essential to what we do at Capital One, from protecting our customers to our associates. As part of the Information Security Office team, you are passionate about security and risk management. You see security as an enabler and differentiator to enable the business through innovation, not a step in the compliance process. You work with line of business-aligned teams in an organizational management and governance role, enabling the teams to effectively and consistently deliver cyber expertise to their customers. You understand the needs of the unique teams and ensure that they have the tools and structure needed to operate without roadblocks, support their customers, and meet regulatory reporting requirements. You collaborate and liaise on behalf of the Information Security Office with the Cyber Department to allow the Department and Capital One to innovate and push the envelope.
