The business analyst job family
Capital One was founded on the premise that it would succeed with Information Based Strategy (IBS), by using information more effectively than powerful, entrenched competition. The Business Analyst job family is at the heart of Capital One's IBS strategy. A Senior Business Analyst is expected to make a major contribution to Capital One's short and long term success, by harnessing the power of information for better decision making.
Successful Business Analysts, at all levels, will therefore be able to work fluently with a wide variety of information sources, combining a strategic understanding of competitive and industry trends, with qualitative feedback from consumer focus groups or line operations, and a detailed analysis of customer level data. She or he will be able to synthesize and articulate the insights arising from this information into coherent market-facing strategies, and will be able to motivate and lead the broader organisation to deliver on this strategic intent.
