Senior Manager, Technical Program Manager

Are you interested in leading programs that deliver on critical business goals, build large scale products, and contribute to core platforms?

At Capital One, we’re changing banking for good. We were founded on the belief that no one should be locked out of the financial system. We’re dedicated to helping foster a world where everyone has an equal opportunity to prosper.

We’re a bank, but we don’t think like one. We’re always thinking about what’s next, about how we can innovate and inspire, and about how we can develop the tools our customers need to improve their financial lives - by leveraging best in class technology. That’s where you come in.

Working with us.

How do we do things at Capital One? We listen — to our people, and to our customers. We change with the times and have adopted a flexible hybrid model (remote and/or in-office). A flexible hybrid working model is one that creates the opportunity to match the work that we do to the environment that best supports that work. We recognize that everyone has a unique working pattern so we’re open to discussing flexible working arrangements that will best accommodate you.

We want our associates to have a voice, and we’re committed to diversity, inclusion and belonging. We give everyone a seat at the table, bringing together different perspectives, backgrounds and experiences to help challenge the status quo and create the best outcomes for everyone.

We’re focused on helping associates live well – physically, financially and emotionally. When you join us, we support you and those who are most important to you, offering full coverage for spouses, domestic partners and dependents. We’ve designed our benefits program to be flexible, comprehensive and consistent across our organization. From health and fitness centres and discounts, to training and professional development programs – and much more – you’ll discover that Capital One is committed to helping you live your best life.
