Ten weeks to discover what our business is about. That's one good thing.
At Capital One, we're on a mission: to change credit – one good thing at a time. You might think of us as a credit card company. But the truth is, we're just as much a technology business. And we're here to make a positive difference – to our customers, our colleagues and community.
Our Strategy teams are fundamental in how we drive the business forward, but most importantly, how we solve problems and work with our customers. On this ten-week programme, you’ll be based within one of our core Strategy teams and from Day 1 you’ll take a bird’s eye view of our organisation whilst owning a real life business project.
As a Strategy Analyst Intern You Could Be
Finding innovative ways to attract new customers and ensure our products meet their needs.
Providing support and tools to help our customers manage their finances and protect them from fraud.
Creating marketing strategies that get the right messages across in the right places.
Striking the right balance in the lending we do and the risk to the business.
Key to all this work is insightful data analysis and critical judgement skills. You will be trained and developed on coding and analytical tools - enabling you to really dig deep into the datasets.
You will help identify new ways to improve every aspect of what we do and put forward your suggestions on how we can achieve this by the end of your internship. Great training and support from the team around you will be provided to ensure you have all the tools required for success!
One of the happy consequences of making finance easier for our customers is that Capital One is an inspiring place to launch your career. And this internship isn’t just about honing your technical skills. There's plenty of scope for personal development too. You'll be assigned a manager, mentor and buddy to support and advise you along the way.
What You’ll Need
We don’t mind what degree background or grades you have, but we want to see:
Your ability to identify solutions or opportunities using data and sound reasoning.
A strong aptitude for maths, and that you can apply problem solving and creative thinking to come up with suitable recommendations.
How you use your judgement within decision making.
You have strong written and verbal communication skills.
You aren’t afraid to share your ideas and you thrive in a collaborative environment.
You have a curiosity to learn and take ownership of your development.
Whilst also being focused on growth and development – yours and ours.
The Recruitment Process

Step 2: Next up, you will be invited to complete a one way video interview
Step 3: You’ll get to (virtually) meet with one of our Strategy Analysts to complete a case study interview
