Sr. Director, Cyber Operations Integration

Cybersecurity is essential to Capital One's commitment to protect our customers and associates. We're looking for a demonstrated leader, who's passionate about cybersecurity and risk management.

At Capital One, you'll advise on strategic initiatives, programs, and projects to create business value in an agile manner.

You're looking for a workplace where you can be your authentic self and be vulnerable, acting as a model for diverse, inclusive behavior. You value and help grow culture based around a psychological safe environment.
