Director, Metrics Strategy and Reporting

Capital One is one of the fastest growing organizations in the world today, powered by our passion for our customers. We are serious about technology, we dream big, and we execute: Capital One moved our entire enterprise to the public cloud over the course of five years. Just as we prioritize driving innovation through technology, we equally prioritize cybersecurity, reliability, software quality, and data management.

Technology & Data Risk Management (TDRM) is a small organization that packs a big punch. The ~200 professionals in TDRM are trusted experts who oversee ~14,000 developers at Capital One. We raise the bar for excellence in cybersecurity, reliability, tech risk, and data management risk. We shape strategy and decisions, challenge activities to ensure they meet our standards, and perform independent tests of our security and technology risk.

For years, the cybersecurity community has debated whether the CISO should report to the CIO or not. In regulated financial services, the answer is: both. The first-line CISO has operational responsibilities and reports to the CIO. The second-line Chief Tech Risk Officer (CTRO) and the Tech & Data Risk Management (TDRM) organization have broader responsibilities for cybersecurity but also reliability, software quality, resilience, and the risk of failing to manage our data. The CTRO is independent and oversees the work of the CISO, the CIO/CTO, and the Chief Data Officer. The CTRO reports to the Chief Risk Officer, who reports directly to the CEO.

Our business leaders must constantly make technology decisions. TDRM makes sure they have the tech and data risk information they need to make good decisions. Associates within TDRM are highly-skilled information security, cybersecurity, site reliability engineering, technology, data analyst, data scientist, and risk management professionals. They have a wealth of experience and a demonstrated ability to add value with their advice and to deliver high-impact results.
