A top place to work

Capital One is consistently voted among The Times top 100 places to work. There's a whole raft of reasons for this, but graduate recruits and long-serving colleagues alike rank highly our skills recognition, incredible reward structures and the culture of innovation and entrepreneurialism.

You'll be part of an organisation with over 50 million customers worldwide. We're also considered somewhat unconventional in the financial services industry, creating products and concepts that transform the business models of even our most established competitors. Our success is largely due to putting our graduate analysts at the heart of what we do.

What we're looking for

Quite simply, we hire the best and give them the skills to do even better.

Capital One's entrepreneurial and collaborative culture is best suited to those who relish problem solving and the chance to make things happen. We're interested in graduates with excellent analytical skills who are smart, inquisitive, independent, yet a team player – and up for the challenge of responsibility.

The Role

As a business analyst at Capital One you'll apply the theory you've learnt at university to real business challenges.

You'll be responsible for identifying and exploiting opportunities and devising innovative new ways to attract and retain customers. This role combines many of the best elements of consulting, finance and general management.

What's in it for you?

Put simply, career satisfaction. Our approach is to get stuck right in, learning on the job as well as through formal training. We give you the structures and frameworks to solve highly complex problems and you'll soon see your ideas begin to shape a huge and influential market.

You'll also earn top-notch benefits without selling your soul. A jaw-dropping entry-level salary of £30k is just the start.You'll also get a sign-on bonus of £2,500, 25 days' annual leave, full private medical and life insurances, share purchase plan, business course tuition fees paid, flexible pension, subsidised gym membership and a stack of free social events.

Living and working in Nottingham

Nottingham's right in the centre of England, and we're right in the centre of Nottingham. It's a modern, vibrant city, buzzing with over 300 clubs, pubs and eateries, many of the trendiest of which are within minutes' walk of our landmark offices.

If culture and nature are more your bag, Nottingham has internationally-acclaimed theatres, galleries, music venues, cinemas, sporting and historical attractions – and it's surrounded by beautiful countryside.

Don't just take our word for it…

Sam Hancock, a 2006 graduate recruit says, I've already doubled the size of one of our credit card programmes – giving an extra £120 million a year in credit limit.”

Meanwhile, colleague Simon Maycock, comments, “I'm still here after eight years because of the smart, challenging, fun people I work with. Other highlights include the autonomy of decision making, willingness to make bold innovative moves and the rigor of thinking.”

The last word goes to Adam Price, “It's a fantastic opportunity to develop a rounded set of business skills and capabilities, in a more accelerated fashion than I believe is available anywhere else.”
