Sr. Associate, Process Manager – Research Operations

at  Capital One

WHAT’S IT LIKE TO BE A PROCESS MANAGER AT CAPITAL ONE CANADA?

Our Process Managers are deployed across all areas of the business. They’re responsible for creating and enhancing processes that aim to deliver excellence to their customers in every interaction. They obsess about understanding how things work – that means mapping out business processes, understanding and mitigating risks and ensuring we have the right controls and solutions in place – and then making them better. And they work in agile, cross-functional teams that provide opportunities to learn from other job families too.
We’re looking for a Sr. Associate, Process Manager – Research Operations to join our Experience Design (XD) team. Within XD, we’ve built in-house quantitative and qualitative research capabilities so that we can help our business partners make grounded, customer-backed, insights-driven decisions. As our Sr. Associate, Process Manager – Research Operations, you’ll oversee these research capabilities and ensure that we have the right processes and tools in place to execute quality research at scale in an efficient and well-managed way. In doing so, you’ll support our team of researchers and help organize and amplify our research. You’ll also play an incredibly important role as the direct connection between our team and our research participants, making the research we do possible! And as our team grows and evolves, your role will evolve with it as new opportunities emerge. We’re committed to helping you learn and grow alongside us.
We’re looking for someone who is super organized, a self-starter, a great communicator and a creative problem-solver. Someone who loves working with people and who has a passion for helping others and making things better. If this sounds like you, we can’t wait to meet you!
