Senior Manager, Data Analysis - Audit

Who we are:

At Capital One, data is at the center of everything we do. When we were a tiny startup we disrupted the credit card industry by individually personalizing every credit card offer using statistical modeling and the relational database, cutting edge technology in 1988! Fast-forward a few years, and that little innovation and our passion for data has skyrocketed us to a Fortune 200 company and a leader in the world of data-driven decision-making. Twenty-five years after Capital One was started it's still led by its founder. Be ready to join a community where you put the customer first and want to use your data skills to make a difference.
