Sr. Manager Engagement Lead - The Accelerator

Overview

Sr. Manager Engagement Lead - The Accelerator

At Capital One, we are Reimagining the Possibilities of what a financial institution delivers - from price searching to technology products. Doing something outside the “norm” of traditional banking products means we will face challenges not contemplated by our existing operating models. 

To support our innovators, we’ve established The Accelerator, an internal engine of elite problem solvers to help propel our nascent businesses from inception to “ready to scale.” We are now accelerating innovation for both 0-to-1 businesses and the broader enterprise such as Generative AI, International Expansion and External Affairs. Through this engine, we 1) dedicate and empower senior, cross-functional leaders, 2) proactively remove barriers to delivery and innovation, 3) relentlessly create space for innovation, and 4) insulate broader Capital One from zero-to-one entity risks.

The Accelerator is seeking an Engagement Lead to drive the development and delivery of high-priority projects for teams across the enterprise. A strong candidate will have a proven track record of working through white space and strategic decision making, as well as rigorous organizational and analytical skills to track deliverables and measure success of this program. You will work with smart and passionate people to deliver results that have a direct impact on the company’s bottom line. You will take on important and exciting responsibility from day one, working with key stakeholders across the company. We are looking for someone with a passion for building the next generation of products and services, a track record of crushing deadlines, and a hunger to imagine a new way of doing things.

Who You Are:

• You are curious. You have natural instinct and talent that is blended with technique to effectively build relationships and foster trust.

• You are a natural motivator with exceptional communication skills at all levels to cut through messy situations to crystallize the message beneath and help create clarity for multiple stakeholder groups

• You easily flex from strategic, high-level views to tactical with equal attention on both to understand how all the building blocks fit into a big-picture view

• You exhibit strong influencing skills and can effectively solve problems and drive for clear decision making - including driving relentlessly for clarity on requirements and desired outcomes

• You are extremely organized and analytical - ready to support a program with tangible metrics quickly and with little oversight

• You like using technology to solve problems - whether leveraging technology or building technical tools, you like to innovate and look towards where the industry is going.

What You’ll Own: 

• Leverage problem solving and influencing skills to drive problem disposition, strategy, planning, and execution of highly complex projects

• Focus on projects that are part of our key priorities of Capital One’s senior leadership

• Push the boundary of “how things are done” by leveraging new tools or building new solutions that move the enterprise toward a more efficient and effective destination 

• Build relationships and collaborate with cross-functional key stakeholders at all levels to understand challenges and drive results

• Creatively solve problems and think outside of the box to help remove barriers and challenges

• Create executive-ready presentations and materials

• Demonstrate a proven track record of excellent strategic problem solving, bringing the ability to quickly put structure in place to manage work in a dynamic complex environment

• Prioritize work based on established success criteria and timeframes

• Motivate teams to solve problems and deliver high quality results in a fast-paced, collaborative environment that's geographically dispersed

• Support the creation of structured milestone tracking through project roadmaps, workstream planning swimlanes, or other tools

• Help grow The Accelerator’s brand by identifying engagement opportunities
