Principal Associate, Cyber Strategy and Reporting

At Capital One, we’re rethinking the way the world approaches banking by experimenting and innovating how we serve our 65 million customers. We are looking for experienced, pioneering thinkers who will craft the strategies that inspire and guide our cyber security organization. We are drawn to action, inventive and self-motivated, and we’re passionate about security. We get excited when building solutions that protect our associates and our customers. It takes a big group of people with a broad range of skills to do that well, and we need to keep all those people aligned, connected and passionate about our work.

That’s where you come in – as part of the Strategy and Reporting team, you will support the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), VP of Strategic Business Enablement, Sr. Director of Cyber Strategy and Cyber Senior Leadership in developing and effectively communicating our overarching cyber strategy, as well as articulating Capital One’s cyber risk to executive and Board-level forums. Cyber associates are big-picture strategic thinkers, who work collaboratively across teams and pay close attention to the details. They are self-directed, with excellent communication and project management skills. Cyber values an entrepreneurial attitude and fosters an inclusive environment for professional growth and career development. 

Job Description:

As a Principal Associate for the Cyber Strategy and Reporting team, you will be immersed in cyber and technology risks, which will allow our Cyber organization and partners to both pinpoint how cyber risks are connected to other corporate risks, business outcomes and consequences and to ensure business decisions are informed by Cyber. You’ll be part of a highly functional team responsible for developing strategy, assessing risk and coordinating reporting to Capital One’s Board of Directors, executive leadership, Cyber and Technology organizations. You will work closely with Cyber practitioners to aid in articulating and driving understanding of the enterprise cyber risk profile in key reporting forums. You’ll spend a lot of time drafting copy, slides, talking points and analyzing metrics, in addition to collaborating with peers across the organization to enable experts at the highest levels of our business to effectively articulate cyber strategy and cyber risk to Capital One leadership.

As the ideal candidate:

• You are passionate about technology and cybersecurity, and actively seek out first-hand information and research-based insights to ground assertions.

• You have the ability to tell a story in a compelling and forward-thinking way. You effectively tailor communications strategies to convey information for a wide variety of audiences (in written, oral, dashboard or diagram form).

• You are a self-starter who works efficiently and effectively to achieve the best possible results by problem solving and collaborating with multiple stakeholders across Cyber.

• You are comfortable with ambiguity and enjoy cutting through distractions to discern the core priorities and create structure where none exists.

• You are an analytical problem solver who grounds assertions, balancing facts, common sense and intuition to make decisions.

• You are a team player who helps us achieve more than the sum of our parts by collaborating effectively with others and encouraging an inclusive culture with diverse teammates.

• You consistently demonstrate Capital One's values in all your interactions with our teams, customers and stakeholders.

As a Principal Associate on the Cyber Strategy team, you will:

• Support the development and administration of core functions within the Cyber Strategy and Reporting team, including development of new reports, strategies and talking points that effectively convey the state of cyber risk.

• Meet with senior business leaders to understand business challenges and priorities and explore strategic solutions.

• Work with subject matter experts across the enterprise to understand problems, helping to drive and execute an agenda in an uncertain and fluid environment, and identify and evaluate potential strategic options such as new capabilities. 

• Partner with teams on multiple concurrent projects, and provide consultative services to colleagues to align near-term deliverables with the strategic trajectory of enterprise cyber.

• Support the creation and delivery of compelling written, visual and oral content for informing and influencing senior business leaders in the company regarding business, cyber risk and technical topics.

• Collaborate with peers and stakeholders on reporting to the Capital One Board of Directors, government regulators and other senior stakeholders.
