External Affairs works with many external and internal stakeholders to envision and create a world of greater socioeconomic opportunity through advocating for an inclusive society, building thriving communities, and creating financial tools that enrich lives. Our teams include Communications, Community Impact and Investment, Community Finance, CRA Strategy and Program Management, the Government and Political Affairs Group, Regulatory Relations, and Strategy and Engagement. Through our teams, we have unparalleled access to a diverse group of motivated changemakers similarly focused on the ingredients for a more perfect future.
Our approach involves focusing on innovation and opportunity related to long term well being for our associates, customers, and communities. On the intersection between business and social impact. On disruption and dreaming of a better way. This is the language of changing things for the better.
The Community Impact and Investment team creates impactful community outcomes and positions Capital One as the most strategically bold, innovative, and mission driven financial institution through:
Fueling strategic community investments (e.g. grants, skills, loans)
Delivering insights, advice and resources that inform Capital One's products and services
Activating the capabilities of "impact forward" associates
The Community Impact and Investment team supports Capital One through leading enterprise volunteerism, conducting market research, fostering community relationships, grant making, originating CDFI loans and partnering with and advising LOBs.
The Opportunity and Role:
Community Impact and Investment is in the midst of a multiyear transformation to increasingly align business strategy and social impact; launch new, different, and more holistic approaches to investing in our communities; use Capital One's volunteer time and talent in increasingly strategic ways; and use data, analytics, research, and inclusive design to inform more targeted and actionable consulting to our business partners on topics related to a broad view of financial inclusion.
We're seeking a Senior Associate to join our Associate Activation team. The Activation team is charged with fostering a culture of service and volunteerism across the enterprise by building, testing and deploying services to empower our "impact forward" associate base to engage with the community. This is a team of changemakers who seek to empower our associate base to give back by meeting our associates where they are, and delivering the programming and tools they need to easily mobilize their interests, talents and skills in the community.
In this role, you'll be expected to demonstrate proficiency in three key areas:
Harness and Leverage Data to Inform Decision Making
You'll harness the volunteer data we have available to us through our internal databases, surveys, and regulatory reporting to inform our associate engagement strategy.
You'll leverage Tableau to consolidate and transform our data into intuitive and easy to use tools that will help us better understand the needs of our internal and external communities.
You'll use data to monitor and forecast volunteer engagement to track our progress against regulatory engagement targets.
Mobilizing our Associates with a Business Mindset
You will leverage a community of "Community Champions" to drive associate engagement by ensuring they're enabled with the data, resources, and best practices to amplify Capital One's culture of volunteerism.
You'll capture and report volunteerism metrics to monitor and inform associate engagement in the community, including which engagements are qualified to meet our regulatory requirements, how our teams and LOBs are reaching volunteerism goals.
Build Repeatable Processes and Resources That Meet Customer Needs
You'll help iterate, improve, and scale our associate engagement model to cultivate efficient and effective processes to meet the support needs of associate volunteers across the enterprise.
Partner closely with stakeholders to ensure their needs are understood and met through repeatable and sustainable processes.
You'll help develop and deliver tools, collateral, and best practices to reinforce a self-service model "Center of Excellence" for hyper-local engagement by associates across the company (ex: guidance on non-exempt volunteer processes/approvals, how to search for or organize local opportunities, how to record personal volunteerism, etc.)
Test, Learn, and Scale
You'll report KPIs for your tools, programs and interaction models and will be responsible for measuring and tracking those measures, with an eye to adjusting and refining your strategy as the data dictates.
You'll relentlessly seek ways to automate and streamline and document our work to build the capacity of our team, our partners, and associate volunteers.
We want you if you are:
Impact-driven. You dream big. You desire to make the world a better place, and you get energy from working with others with similar passions to accomplish big, bold goals.
Wired for Collaboration and Connection. You thrive in a matrixed organization because you know that together we can do better. You're obsessed with building and cultivating relationships. You have a proven track record of building solutions co-delivered across teams
Customer Focused. You care about doing what's best for the community and for Capital one's associates. You don't shy away from hard conversations or nuanced decision making because you know the best outcomes often go hand in hand with tough decisions. For the sake of the associate experience, you are comfortable holding your partners and your own team accountable for results.
Process Oriented. You loathe inefficient processes and look for ways to streamline and document everything you touch. You enjoy creating new processes when it is needed.
Enablement is your middle name. You are passionate about building tools that enable others, because you get energized by seeing those around you enabled to do their best work.
Do-er. You're biased toward action, you try things and sometimes you fail. You can get around your own roadblocks and you remove obstacles for your team to stay focused on enterprise goals.
