About Capital One –
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.
About the Team –
We are seeking a highly experienced Director of Technical Program Management to drive the end-to-end execution of complex, high‑impact data engineering programs within the Enterprise Data organization. This role requires deep expertise in data platforms like Databricks and Snowflake, where you will be instrumental in integrating and optimizing these technologies. You will take ownership of defining project scopes, developing detailed execution plans, and overseeing delivery, ensuring all technical requirements are met and align perfectly with our business objectives. You will operate as the primary driver, collaborating directly with data engineers, data scientists, and various cross‑functional stakeholders to manage risks, resolve technical roadblocks, and champion efficiency in the delivery pipeline.
Key Responsibilities
Define portfolio strategy and roadmap for data engineering programs, ensuring end‑to‑end execution and successful delivery across Databricks and Snowflake.
Lead, mentor, and scale the Technical Program Management function within the Enterprise Data team, fostering accountability and continuous improvement.
Partner with executive leadership and cross‑functional teams to align strategic objectives, define program scope, and secure resources for high‑priority initiatives.
Proactively identify, mitigate, and communicate technical risks, dependencies, and challenges that could impact major enterprise data programs.
Establish and drive standardized program management methodologies and best practices across the Enterprise Data organization to optimize workflows and enhance overall productivity.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree.
At least 7 years of experience in technical program management.
Preferred Qualifications
7+ years designing and building data‑intensive solutions using distributed computing.
3+ years building distributed systems & highly available services using cloud computing (preferably AWS).
3+ years experience with Agile delivery.
Experience delivering large and complex programs in a highly regulated environment.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field (or equivalent experience).
At this time, Capital One will not sponsor a new applicant for employment authorization, or offer any immigration related support for this position (i.e., H1B, F‑1 OPT, F‑1 STEM OPT, F‑1 CPT, J‑1, TN, E‑2, E‑3, L‑1, O‑1, or any EADs that require employer support).
Capital One is an equal opportunity employer (EOE, including disability/vet) committed to non‑discrimination in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws. Capital One promotes a drug‑free workplace.
