Capital One
Capital One is one of the fastest growing organizations in the world today, powered by our passion for our customers. We are serious about technology, we dream big, and we execute: we moved our entire enterprise to the public cloud over the course of five years. Just as we prioritize driving innovation through technology, we equally prioritize cybersecurity, reliability, software quality, and data management.
Technology & Data Risk Management (TDRM) is a small organization that packs a big punch. The ~200 professionals in TDRM oversee ~14,000 developers at Capital One. We raise the bar for excellence in cybersecurity, reliability, and tech risk, and data management risk. We shape strategy and decisions, challenge activities to ensure they meet our standards, and perform independent tests of our security and technology risk.
In regulated financial services, the first‑line CISO reports to the CIO, while the second‑line Chief Tech Risk Officer (CTRO) and the Tech & Data Risk Management organization manage broader responsibilities for cybersecurity, reliability, software quality, resilience, and the risk of failing to manage our data. The CTRO is independent and oversees the work of the CISO, the CIO/CTO, and the Chief Data Officer. The CTRO reports to the Chief Risk Officer, who reports directly to the CEO.
Role Summary As a Director of Cyber and Tech Risk Execution, you will play a fundamental role in supporting and guiding the first line with the practical application of our Risk Levelling Program. The program ensures Tech and Cyber risks are consistently defined and measured, leading to meaningful data that drives action to mitigate risk across the entire organization. You will be a risk expert who has proven abilities to influence across all layers of the organization, known for getting things done efficiently and at the required pace. Your ability to flex your approach and provide innovative solutions to complex problems will be a key part of the role. You will guide and mentor our Senior Risk Managers within the RAPID team, demonstrating model behavior covering risk expertise, multi‑faced stakeholder influence, and delivering against enterprise‑wide targeted deadlines.
