Our Capital One Experience Design Team
At Capital One, we don't just hire people - we invest in them. We've worked hard to create and foster a culture that values people, collaboration, integrity, and respect for one another. We pride ourselves in being a place of opportunity that empowers our team of disruptors, dreamers, and doers.

And we're not your typical bank; we're on a mission to change banking for good by bringing ingenuity, simplicity and humanity to the work we do.

Antiquated legacy platforms have no place here; we're building a leading information-based technology company where you'll be partnering with other talented people across the organization on complex projects, contributing to the value we deliver every day.

We measure our efforts by the success our customers enjoy and the advocacy they exhibit, and we succeed only when they do.

We're currently seeking a Principal UX Researcher to join our Experience Design (XD) team. Our team is at the forefront of enriching our customers' digital experiences and represent the voice of our customers.

We champion a thriving environment of collaboration, authenticity and healthy critique, in which we honour diversity of thought, create a culture of belonging, and elevate one another.

Because we're a human-centred organization obsessed with delivering products and services based on customer research and feedback, UX research is at the heart of our work.

We believe empathy and curiosity (we ask a lot of questions) are at the core of understanding our customers so we can deliver best-in-class products and services.

We represent the voice of our customers and focus on being the source of truth for our customer insights.

Working with us
How do we do things at Capital One Canada? We listen — to our people, and to our customers. We change with the times and have adopted a flexible hybrid model.

Associates working in the hybrid model are expected to come into the office 3 days a week across Tuesdays and Thursdays, reserving Mondays and Fridays as company-wide virtual days.

As was true before the pandemic, expectations of being in the office will be balanced with personal life flexibility.

We recognize that everyone has a unique working pattern so we're open to discussing flexible working arrangements that will best accommodate you.

At Capital One we're committed to diversity, inclusion and belonging.

We strive to build a culture where diverse perspectives are valued, innovative ideas are encouraged and inclusive behaviours are embedded in everything we do to positively impact associates.

Strive to build a culture where diverse perspectives are valued, innovative ideas are encouraged and to help challenge the status quo and create the best outcomes for everyone.

We're focused on helping associates live well—physically, financially and emotionally.

When you join us, we support you and those who are most important to you, offering full coverage for spouses, domestic partners, and dependents.

We've designed our benefits program to be flexible, comprehensive and consistent across our organization.
