Cyber Product Lead

Capital One is seeking a product owner to help deliver game-changing cybersecurity solutions based on threat, data, and design thinking.

At Capital One, we believe in the values of Excellence and Doing the Right Thing.

We are a technology-oriented company delivering financial products to market through modern technology and constant innovation at a massive scale.

Part of that innovation is leveraging technology to deliver the best cybersecurity solutions for our business.

As a Product Owner, you will be accountable for contributing to and delivering upon the strategic agenda for our core cyber products to drive meaningful progress for our customers and our business.

While your initial focus will center on Secure AI agents initiative for the enterprise, this role is designed for a fungible product leader who can adapt and pivot across general cybersecurity capabilities enterprise-wide.

In this capacity, you will drive product vision into our development teams, translate vision into delivery objectives, provide customer-informed guidance to shape products, and work with cross-functional teams to deliver well-managed and sustainable features that bring that vision to life.

You will use your deep technical knowledge and subject matter expertise in cybersecurity and systems engineering to drive impactful improvements to our cyber capabilities.

End-to-End Cyber Product Ownership: Lead the complete lifecycle (discovery, vision, delivery, and adoption) of core cybersecurity products across multiple technical security domains.

Security Monitoring: Partner with SOC and threat detection teams to advance telemetry collection, log analytics, and threat-hunting capabilities.

Secure AI Agents: Collaborate with data science and engineering teams to integrate security controls, guardrails, and risk mitigations into AI/ML development pipelines.

Adaptable Backlog & Technical Execution: Manage, groom, and prioritize a healthy product backlog in Jira/SAFe environments, balancing new capabilities, operational risk reduction, technical debt, and system reliability (SRE).

Cross-Functional Advisory: Serve as the subject matter expert bridging executive leadership, compliance, engineering, and software development teams to drive security integration into everyday workflows.

Metrics & Customer-Centric Design: Leverage analytics, telemetry metrics, and internal developer feedback to measure product adoption, evaluate threat-reduction ROI, and continuous delivery health.

You believe that a core component of security's role is to enable the business, not just to secure it, and the solutions you bring to life are aligned to the needs of our developer community, customers, and business partners.

You thrive in working in a fast-paced, technologically forward-leaning environment and are not afraid to push the boundaries of security capabilities.

You seek to create enduring value by delivering reusable, extensible, and resilient cybersecurity capabilities to address the evolving threat landscape.

You actively solve for cyber technical challenges in collaboration with engineering.

You are naturally curious and stay on top of emerging trends and threats, including modern AI/ML security vectors.

You have a comprehensive understanding of iterative software delivery to connect effectively and in a meaningful way with software and platform engineers.

You seek to understand the business and technology landscape and cross-functional dependencies to inform product vision and integration with larger organizational goals.

You are a clear thinker, thrive in working across teams, and are an expert in dealing with ambiguity.

You understand and track key metrics on security, resilience, and performance for your product(s) and understand levers that drive these metrics.

You have strong consulting and analytical skills and a risk management mindset.

You have the ability to foster collaborative, open working relationships with technology partners and other stakeholders.

You demonstrate balanced judgment in decisions, incorporate risk factors accordingly, and maintain a strong bias for action.
