Licheng - Strategy Analyst Graduate
Early Careers We've got big things in mind for you
If you think Capital One is simply a credit card provider, think again. In many ways, we’re as much of a technology business as a finance company. We pioneered the use of predictive modelling in this industry, and today we still look at credit the way tech companies look at everything – with a view to changing the way people live, making things simpler and easier for our customers.
As a result, you’ll find Capital One an inspiring place to launch your career. We’re all about hiring the best people and enabling them to do great things. That’s why we’re so passionate about our early careers recruitment. It’s a great way to introduce people to our business and encourage them to challenge the status quo.
We’re prioritising our Software Academy and Strategy Analyst roles right now. If you’re interested in another programme please sign up for our job alerts here and we’ll let you know when applications are open.
