At Capital One, we dare to dream, disrupt and deliver a better way. Our goal is simple-bring ingenuity, simplicity and humanity to an industry ripe for change. Our Global Workplace Services (GWS) team is a dynamic organization where development matters as much as our ability to provide collaborative and secure environments that drive connection, innovation and business success. Our commitment extends beyond solutions; it embraces a culture of care. We value, celebrate and respect each teammate's unique talents, experience, and contributions.
In GWS, our team manages a diverse portfolio of mixed-use owned and leased properties. We're constantly transforming our workplace to enable our employees to work the way they work best.

Leadership

• Create a psychologically safe environment that encourages learning from mistakes, innovation, and proactive problem solving

• Act as the go-to leader for real-time GSOC operations, making sound decisions during escalations, critical incidents, and high-pressure situations
• Serve as a key liaison with internal stakeholders and business partners needing real-time GSOC support
