+ 2 other locations

Product Management at Capital One is a booming, vibrant craft that requires reimagining the status quo, finding value creation opportunities, and driving innovative and sustainable customer experiences through technology. We believe our portfolio of businesses and investments in growth and transformation will result in a company with the scale, brand, capabilities, talent, and values to succeed as the digital revolution transforms our society and our industry.

The Role

Capital One is looking for a Director of Product Management to lead the digital product strategy for our Café experience — shaping how millions of customers and prospects discover, engage with, and experience Capital One across our physical and digital ecosystem. Capital One Cafés represent a distinctive expression of our brand and an important opportunity to create meaningful relationships with customers and prospects. This role will lead the portfolio of digital products and capabilities that bring that experience to life — from helping customers discover Cafés and experiences, to equipping Ambassadors with the tools and insights they need to serve customers, to building new capabilities that connect in-person interactions to deeper, more personalized relationships with Capital One.

This leader will manage a team of five to seven Product Managers and Project Managers and partner closely across Design, Technology, Analytics, Marketing, Retail, Operations and the broader Capital One enterprise. We are looking for a product leader who combines strong business judgment, technical fluency, customer obsession and exceptional people leadership — someone who can set a compelling vision while building the systems, teams and discipline required to deliver it.

Partner across the enterprise to integrate Café experiences into Capital One’s broader digital ecosystem.

Ensure our platforms are resilient, scalable and designed around the realities of frontline users.

Lead with strong product and technical judgment

Partner deeply with Technology and Design to build scalable, resilient and intuitive products.
Understand the underlying architecture and technical tradeoffs well enough to challenge assumptions, identify risks and make informed investment decisions.
Balance innovation with disciplined investment in foundational capabilities, platform health and core customer experiences.
Create a strong test-and-learn culture while ensuring experimentation is tied to meaningful customer or business outcomes.

Build and develop an exceptional team

Lead, coach and develop a team of Product Managers responsible for a diverse portfolio of customer and associate-facing products.
Set a high bar for product craft, strategic thinking, execution and storytelling.
Create clarity across the portfolio while empowering individual product leaders to own outcomes.
Attract, develop and retain exceptional product talent and create meaningful opportunities for growth.

A customer-first mindset paired with a willingness to challenge existing assumptions and make difficult tradeoffs.

What Will Set You Apart

Experience with frontline or associate-facing platforms and tools.
Experience applying AI or agentic capabilities to customer or associate experiences.
Experience building identity, prospect engagement, personalization or customer data capabilities.
A demonstrated ability to inherit a broad portfolio, simplify it and focus teams on the few opportunities that matter most.
