Senior Manager, Project Management – Financial Services Talent Strategy
About the Role: Capital One was built on the belief that data and technology disrupt industries, and we apply that exact same philosophy to our talent. As the Project Manager for our Scale the System pillar, you will build and run our Talent Engine for the Financial Services (FS) Division. Your job is to take talent planning out of leaders' heads and embed it into simple, automated, shared tools and seamless processes. You will lead the transition from manual spreadsheets to an AI-assisted, predictive talent system that gives senior leadership a real-time view of pipeline health, active rotations, and talent flight risks.
You are a data-minded builder who loves creating order out of chaos, ensuring that our talent ecosystem can scale seamlessly. The ideal candidate will exhibit strong relationship building, influencing, communication, and problem solving skills; who thrives in a fast paced, collaborative, and values-oriented team.

- Consolidate & Scale Local Mini-Products: Audit existing, fragmented spreadsheets and localized tracking tools, stripping away manual bottlenecks to build a single, unified tracking engine.
- Build the Predictive Talent Interface:** **Partner with technical teams to build and scale user-friendly dashboards that allow leadership to track their top talent across 6, 12, and 18-month horizons—explicitly modeling future vacancies, cross-functional rotations, and automated succession pull-ups.
- Leverage AI & Data Analytics: Explore and deploy emerging AI-driven tools to map associate skillsets directly to business needs, establishing clean baselines to flag talent flight risks before they materialize.
- Operationalize Processes:** **Manage the operational mechanics and data loops supporting our 2–3 annual leadership talent reviews, providing senior executives with the clear, quantified data they need to make real-time talent decisions.
