Capital One is hiring a Product Design Manager for their Core Card Experiences team.
This manager-level position involves owning design strategy and delivery for complex projects, mentoring junior designers, influencing product roadmaps, and building design team culture. The role requires expertise in product design, leadership, human-centered design, business acumen, problem-solving, collaboration, and communication. Candidates need at least 5 years of product design experience and proficiency with design tools like Figma.
Overview
At Capital One, we're building a leading information-based technology company. Still founder-led by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Richard Fairbank, Capital One is on a mission to help our customers succeed by bringing ingenuity, simplicity, and humanity to banking. We measure our efforts by the success our customers enjoy and the advocacy they exhibit.
We're seeking a Product Design Lead to play a pivotal role on the Core Card Experiences team, shaping the tools millions of cardholders rely on to manage and grow their accounts. As a Manager-level IC, you will own design strategy and delivery for multiple complex projects, coach junior designers, influence product roadmaps, and invest in design team culture and processes.
Card is the largest revenue source for Capital One. However, many people don't understand key concepts around credit, how to use it wisely and how to use it to build a better financial future. In this role, you will oversee the customer and associate facing experiences that help make our biggest business thrive.
Role Expectations
As a Product Designer, you'll combine your craft expertise and leadership skills with an understanding of our customers and the business to co-create innovative solutions to complex problems and influence product strategy.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
