Yes, we're a credit card company, but we're more than that too. With your help, we'll build the next generation of banking in Canada based on customer-focused values, compelling products and great engineering. Our culture is built on openness, collaboration, and diverse perspectives - and fraud prevention is at the heart of protecting our customers and our business. From day one, you'll have the opportunity to work on solving complex problems, using data-driven decision making to enhance the overall business strategy, while still maintaining work/life balance.
At Capital One, we love to give our Senior Managers the opportunity to rotate to roles across various teams, so while this role is within the Fraud Strategy team, you will have the opportunity to rotate to new teams throughout your time at Capital One. This is part of our winning formula for creating great future leaders and as such, this role is well suited to high performers looking for growth opportunities.

You will be accountable for fraud losses in the P&L and building business cases with a clear focus on outcomes, trade-offs, and long-term resilience.
