Overview

Senior Associate, Product Management, Card Collections Offer Experiences

Why Team Collections

There has never been a better time to work at the heart of Capital One’s mission.  After a frenzied few years reacting to the COVID pandemic’s up-ending of millions of customers’ lives, the Card Collections team has embarked on an unprecedented journey to modernize our technology, elevate the voice of our most vulnerable customers, and innovate rapidly to define industry norms of what caring for customers truly means.  Every member of our team is united in our passion to treat customers with dignity, clarity and respect. We build the experiences that allow struggling customers to responsibly manage their debt and understand what is best for them in the long-run.  

Approximately 1 in 4 adult Americans has a Capital One or Discover Card at any moment in time.  Due to the excellence in underwriting, we provide credit access deeper than any of our competitors.  Over 30 million of our Card customers typically go delinquent in a given year, the largest pool of DQ customers in America. 

Our team cares for these customers in their most vulnerable moments, including job loss, healthcare troubles, natural disasters, and other major life events that lead to financial hardship.  Managing credit risk isn’t just about understanding access to credit but holistically understanding what happens when that access doesn’t take the path intended.  

Our product and business analyst team share end-to-end ownership of our customer and drive meaningful P&L impact each quarter.  Card Collections and Recoveries make up the Customer Resiliency team, and are embedded within a larger horizontal function Card Services & Strategy (CS&S). CS&S sets the standard for customer experience across the financial services industry and transforms the economics of Capital One, including as one of the first departments to embed generative AI into home grown technology platforms.

What You’ll Do

Every day, millions of customers facing some form of financial difficulty interact with Capital One to try to resolve their delinquency across 6+ digital channels (IVR, chat, SMS, email, push, letters).  We also have more than 2,000 phone and chat agents at the ready to support customers with empathy. 

As our business continues to scale, we recognize that not all customers have the same needs. Our customers ask for personalized financial assistance through education, payment plans, and workout programs. They also have vastly different channel preferences.

We rebuilt the bottom of our tech stack to unify all customer data, our channel fulfillment platforms, and our contact and offer decisioning into a “Real Time Intelligent Collections” (RTIC) ecosystem.  We are now at a pivotal moment in our team’s history where we have the foundation to build truly personalized, segmented offer experiences to care for our customers in the way that works best for them, driving increased customer engagement and sustainable outcomes for our customers and business. 

This is a complex charter impacting millions of customers and driving hundreds of millions of dollars of business value every year.  As we expand our offer suite for customers, you’ll work with design, marketing, operations, legal, compliance, business analysts, and data scientists to envision the future destination of segmented Collections offer experiences and bring those visions to life.  This is an entirely new pillar within the Collections Experience tower, and over time may grow to include multiple product managers and tech teams.
