Ready to make an impact?
At Capital One, we're on a mission: to change the world of credit for better – one small, 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 society as a whole.
One of the happy consequences of making finance easier for our customers is that it makes Capital One an inspiring place to launch your career. Join us, and you can gain valuable experience as you take on meaningful work in collaborative teams.
We are committed to creating a level playing field and seek to create teams that are representative of our customers and the communities we serve. We’d love to hear from you if you identify with an under-represented group in our industry and are particularly keen to hear from women, the LGBTQ+ community and ethnic minority candidates.
We want to help you grow. That’s why we invest heavily in your learning and development. We’ve got a great track record of hiring graduates and enabling them to reach their full potential. Just look at our CEO, Lucy Hagues. She started as a graduate and now leads the UK business. And that’s just one of many success stories.
What are Product Managers at Capital One?
Our Product Managers create visions and strategies for our products and lead the cross-functional teams who deliver on them. The products you work with can cover a wide range of areas including: Marketing, Analytics, Data and Operations. You will work closely with our Tech and Design teams to identify, develop and enable new opportunities.
What will you do?
You will put together a variety of options and approaches to problems, invite different opinions, look at things from every angle and make decisions to help us succeed. Part of your work will involve gap and trend analysis whilst working collaboratively with people across the business to develop innovative new solutions. You can expect to get involved in technical, business and design issues as you take end-to-end ownership of your products, seeing initial ideas through to delivery.
What will you need?
You could come from any degree of discipline or experience level, what matters is that you are a skilled communicator and a proven team player. We want to see you have shown a passion for collaboration outside of your studies. You will have a good appreciation of effective stakeholder management with an understanding of what it takes to develop products and launch them into the market. You should be curious, hungry to learn, be accountable and want to develop rapidly.

What you should know about how we recruit
We pride ourselves on hiring the best people, not the same people. Building diverse and inclusive teams is the right (and the smart) thing to do. We want to work with top talent: whoever you are, whatever you look like, wherever you come from. We know it’s about what you do, not just what you say. That’s why we make our recruitment process fair and accessible.
We also partner with organisations including the Women in Finance and Race At Work Charters, Stonewall and upReach to find people from every walk of life and help them thrive with us. We have a whole host of internal networks and support groups you could be involved in, to name a few:

- EmpowHER - network of female associates and allies focusing on developing future leaders, particularly for female talent in our industry
Capital One is committed to diversity in the workplace.
Where and how you'll work
This is a permanent graduate position based in either our Nottingham or London office. But you should know we’ve adopted a flexible hybrid working model - one that creates the opportunity to work both remotely and in our offices, which provide great spaces for in-person collaboration.
Our core office days are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, but the number of days you actually spend in the office will be led by your team, the work you’re doing. Many of our associates have flexible working patterns, so we’re open to discuss flexible working arrangements with you.
Helping you to succeed
We want to create an interview environment that allows you to feel confident that you can perform at your best and understand that this may be different for everyone. If we can make any arrangements or adjustments to support you during the recruitment process, please let us know by emailing ukrecruitment@capitalone.com.
