Join the Capital One Software Academy to push the boundaries of technology.

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.

Software Academy and Strategy Analyst roles open right now!

Software Academy Graduate Programme:

DIVE INTO YOUR NEW CAREER, WHILE YOU LEARN

Right from the outset, we’ll give you ownership over big projects that will make a real difference to our customers. We’ll also make sure you have all the development opportunities and support you need to shine.

OUR GRADUATE SALARIES START AT £35,000 (WITH PLENTY OF PERKS)

Money matters – there’s no point burying it in the small print. As a Software Academy graduate, you’ll start on £35,000 in Nottingham and £40,000 in London. All our graduates get an extra £5,000 joining bonus and there are performance bonuses too. On page 10, you can read about all the perks – including private health and dental, plus 25 days of paid holiday.

BE PREPARED FOR A CHALLENGE

We expect big things from our graduates. It’s hard work, but rewarding. We won’t put ridiculous demands or impossible deadlines on you, but we expect you to be at the top of your game – day in, day out.

Strategy Analyst

Join our Strategy Analyst Programme as a graduate, and you’ll make a huge impact. You’ll come at problems from fresh new angles. You’ll be brimming with ideas (and not afraid to share them). And you’ll keep our whole organisation on the right track. You’ll use data to solve problems and drive change that leads the whole industry forwards. Life with us means working at pace, being collaborative and sharing ideas about where we go next.

SO WHAT EXACTLY DOES THIS ROLE INVOLVE?

Essentially, you’ll be part of a team that drives real change. Your work will have a direct impact on the bigger commercial decisions we make and the quality of service we deliver to customers. You may be helping to launch a brand-new, innovative product, and helping us to understand how customers use it. You’ll have the opportunity to rotate to a new team each year, giving you the chance to develop a more diverse skill set and a better understanding of the organisation as a whole. In any role, we’ll ask you to interpret data and feed in ideas and insights, so we can make the right decisions for our business and customers. All of which will stand you in good stead when you step up to the next level and start preparing for a leadership role.

DIVE INTO YOUR NEW CAREER, WHILE YOU LEARN

Right from the outset, we’ll trust you to direct and deliver a strategy that will make a real difference to our customers. We’ll also make sure you have all the development opportunities and support you need to shine.
