Director, Project Management

• Domain Delivery Lead At Capital One, we're building a leading information-based technology company.

Guided by our shared values, we thrive in an environment where collaboration and openness are valued. We believe that innovation is powered by perspective and that teamwork and respect for each other lead to superior results. Our associates serve with humility and a deep respect for their responsibility in helping our customers achieve their goals and realize their dreams.

• Role Specific:

• The Bank Tech Technical Program Management and Delivery organization is seeking a highly organized and self-motivated Director of Project Management to join the Delivery team.

In this role, you will have unique visibility into and influence over Bank Tech's most strategic and complex initiatives, impacting multiple lines of business. The Domain Delivery Lead (DDL) is the strategic linchpin of our Domain-Centric Organization. Operating in a federated model, DDLs advance the development, maintenance, and overall health of our reusable technology solutions (platforms and services). In this role, you will act as a strategic partner to Engineering Accountable Executives (AEs) to propel our technology towers toward the destination state of our SaaS journey. Unlike a Technical Program Manager (TPM) aligned to prioritized programs, the DDL is allocated long-term to a specific Tech tower and portfolio of systems / applications. They are dedicated to supporting the AE in their development and execution of their Tower's strategy, including evolving delivery practices, governing current delivery standards, and strategically leveraging data and dashboards to enhance Tower Health. The DDL ensures broad visibility of achievements and centralizes risk/impediment tracking for the steady-state portfolio of work, inclusive and in collaboration with TPMs and Project Managers leading specific initiatives. This is an exciting opportunity for a strategic, well-rounded candidate to boldly model the future of technical delivery excellence. A successful DDL possesses a robust background in technology strategy and consulting. If you are a strategist who understands how to bridge the gap between complex technical architectures and overarching business objectives, this role is tailored for you. You should be adept at evaluating software assets, partnering with engineers on solution-oriented architectures, driving platform maturity, and leading enterprise-wide tech transformations.

• What you'll do:

• 2. Drive Local Intent & Asset Development

• 3. Promote Tower Operations & Health Monitoring
• + Utilize health and productivity dashboards natively (e.

g., tracking availability, latency, incident tracking/MTTR, and velocity) to drive data-driven continuous improvement. + Support localized tower rhythms, including identifying architectural bottlenecks, reviewing financial health for proper investment allocation, and streamlining planning routines. + Coach sub-organizations to ensure adherence to SaaS frameworks, metrics standards, and data integrity.
