The Opportunity and Role:
Capital One's Community Finance ("CF") team originates debt and equity to support affordable housing development. Community Finance provides debt financing, and invests in low income housing credits through proprietary and multifund equity fund structures. The team is on a journey to reimagine the way it operates through a more strategic approach to its core work and advocacy efforts, next-generation analytical and reporting capabilities, and innovative initiatives that leverage Capital One's scale and influence.
As part of Community Finance, the Governance, Risk, & Process Optimization team will drive sustainable growth by optimizing processes and establish a foundation of proactive risk governance that empowers the business to be faster, leaner, and more resilient.
