Capital One’s Retail Bank has grown by leaps and bounds in the last couple of years. The Bank has risen up the league tables in deposits and checking relationships, capitalizing on industry-leading products and a unique challenger brand with superior digital capabilities and distinctive cafes and branches.

Small businesses are the backbone of America and a vital part of the economy as a whole. Their success is essential to economic growth and prosperity. Within Capital One’s Small Business Bank, we help our clients stand out with personalized advice and resources that can help them prepare for what’s next. We’ve helped hundreds of thousands of business owners secure their finances, streamline their cash flow and save time on banking by providing a variety of competitive savings, checking, escrow, lending and treasury management products.

As a Risk Manager supporting Small Business Bank, you will join a team of advisors who support Small Business Bank products and services, functions, operations, and customer contact centers.

Risk Managers help the bank comply with applicable laws and regulations. A successful Risk Manager is a highly motivated, forward thinking, self-starter who can work autonomously, sees beyond the present to identify tomorrow’s risks, is technologically adept, and a problem solver.

  • Evaluate new business initiatives and participate in complex projects to identify potential compliance risk and risk mitigation activities, and effectively challenge business to remain within approved compliance risk appetite;

  • Determine and/or validate applicability of laws and regulations to business processes;

  • Provide guidance on and assess adequacy of controls over regulatory requirements and business line monitoring of those controls;

  • Assess the impact and potential compliance risk exposure of operational breakdowns or findings, including customer complaints, and advise business during remediation;

  • Identify trends in internal and external compliance data and proactively advise on current and emerging risks; and

  • Perform and/or participate in compliance risk assessments of business processes and products.

The ideal candidate will possess: 

  • A strategic, collaborative, energetic, and solution-oriented style, even in ambiguous situations;

  • Ability to quickly adapt and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and highly regulated industry;

  • Highly developed interpersonal, presentation, and communications skills (written and oral) coupled with strategic influencing and negotiation skills to perform effective challenge and catalyze change among various stakeholder groups;

  • Creativity, resourcefulness, and a passion for problem-solving as a team player who can build relationships with associates across functions, business lines, and levels

  • Ability to balance operating independently with appropriate escalation and interaction with senior leadership;

  • The highest ethical standards and unwavering integrity, with discretion in handling highly sensitive or confidential issues; and

  • Ability to prioritize and clearly articulate trade-offs while also maintaining flexibility as the situation changes.
