Capital One’s Enterprise Learning Platform and Operations team is seeking a strategic and detail oriented Manager to serve as the primary architect for our external, AI enabled learning tech platform roadmap. This individual contributor will maximize business impact and learner value from our learning vendor tools, particularly content and skills solutions (e.g. Udemy) and authoring solutions (e.g. Articulate).

• A data-driven storyteller: You don't just report "logins", you are a structured researcher who generates and sells a perspective that balances learner impact and business value.
• A change champion: You are tenacious and comfortable leading go-to-market efforts that drive learner action and behavior.

What You’ll Do:

• Proactively align partner roadmaps with our internal enterprise learning priorities and platform direction with a focus on AI enablement.
• Define and track annual success measures for each partner, focusing on capability gaps and specific business outcomes.
• Act as the lead for all escalations and executive touchpoints for key vendors.
• Manage risks and overlaps between vendors to ensure a targeted ecosystem of offerings.
• Create and execute comprehensive plans, including campaigns, toolkits, and leader-ready messaging to drive platform awareness and adoption.
• Collaborate with communications teams and learning consultants to boost platform usage and learner engagement.
• Lead the go to market launch and execution of new features, content updates, and pilots, with a specific focus on AI enablement, in coordination with internal Learning, Product, and Data leads.
• Establish and maintain clean operational processes for user access, reporting, and technical support with a default to automation and scale.
• Manage the technical integration of partner content into the broader ecosystem to ensure a seamless, performance-connected learner experience.
• Meet regularly with business leaders and consultants to translate organizational needs into business case build outs for new L&D capabilities and AI enablement across our tech stack.
