Director, International Risk

Capital One is seeking an energetic, self-motivated Director to lead the Country Risk team within the Operational Risk Management second line of defense. The Country Risk team is a dedicated group of risk professionals responsible for overseeing and effectively challenging Capital One’s international business activities, including our non-US products, services, offshore associates and contractors, and facilities to manage our international risk exposure.

This role will lead efforts underway to enhance Capital One’s framework, requirements, processes, and expectations for the management of international business activities to support our growing international footprint.

As part of the larger Operational Risk Management (ORM) organization, you will work with fellow Director leaders to deliver on our ORM ambitions to build a world class risk management organization. This includes putting our people first through your role as a people leader, exemplifying the spirit of risk management by speaking up, challenging the status quo, and crushing our core risk management functions in the second line of defense. You’ll also bring your unique perspective and experiences to help us be rigorous, curious and creative.
