Our Mission
We’re on a mission to be a force for good in lending. Throughout our almost 30-year history, we’ve consistently been recognised as a great place to work; in 2026, Capital One was officially ranked 9th in the UK’s Best Workplaces™ list. Hear from our team about what it’s like working at Capital One UK.
About the Role
This is a fantastic opportunity to join our UK Audit Team. Capital One’s Audit function is a dedicated group of professionals focused on delivering quality assurance services to the organisation’s Audit Committee. Audit's vision is to provide high value, independent, proactive insights, to innovate with technology, and to be a top talent destination. We maintain a dynamic atmosphere for both personal growth and professional opportunity.
We’re seeking an energetic, self-motivated Senior Associate Auditor (with a relevant qualification) interested in joining our UK based International Card Audit Team. As a member of the team, you’ll focus on a broad range of audits related to the consumer lending businesses across the UK and Canada.
What you’ll do
- Perform risk assessments of business activities and relevant testing based on the risks and processes associated with the area being audited.
- Assist in communicating issues, risks and recommendations to all levels of management.
- Operate independently and ensure work is completed to schedule and meets our high-quality standards.
- Develop and maintain strong and effective working relationships with key business partners and the extended Audit group.
- Leverage available data and analytical tools during the planning and fieldwork phases of audit delivery.
- Proactively follow-up on agreed audit actions to ensure management delivers their commitments within the agreed timescales.
- Proactively seek out learning opportunities to enhance skills and competencies related to the role.
- Very occasionally travel to Canada to perform audit engagements, typically less than twice a year, although we are flexible regarding personal circumstances.
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.
