Senior Manager, Product Manager- Spend Controls Lead (Business Cards & Payments)
Senior Manager, Product Management (PXDP55)
Business Cards & Payments (BC&P) | Build the Future.
At BC&P, we bring a builder s mindset to work, just like the business owners we serve. Small businesses are a different kind of customer. They re the people turning ideas into opportunities, and opportunities into livelihoods. When we build for them, we build something bigger. That s why we have a high bar for quality. We own the work end to end, turning today s insights into tomorrow s results, together.
We re relentlessly curious.
We ask the hard questions.
We make space for the best ideas to win.
Because that s how we create impact we can be proud of.
In BC&P , we are looking for a Product Manager with a demonstrated interest and aptitude for Al. While formal on-the-job experience with Al is a plus, we highly value candidates who have proactively incorporated Al into their personal projects, explored Al-driven development environments (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot), or built automations using Al agents. Show us how you ve used Al to learn, build, and solve problems beyond basic text generation.
About the Role:
We re hiring a Senior Manager, Product Manager to lead our Spend Controls Team within the Employee Spend pillar of Business Cards & Payments . Employee Spend owns the end-to-end job of helping small business owners put spending power in their employees hands without losing control over how it s used, spanning everything from card issuance and policy setup, to real-time spend oversight, to expense reconciliation. Spend Controls owns the oversee and control half of that job: pre-authorization spend limits, virtual card controls (VCN), category and merchant-level policies, and the real-time decisioning that determines whether a transaction should go through before it ever clears. This is one of our most strategically important investment areas. It’s a core capability that differentiates Capital One s small business card products from competitors who only offer post-purchase expense review, and it s a foundational building block for our next-generation small business cards and software.
In this role, You ll lead a team of product managers and analysts driving our pre-auth spend controls roadmap, our card management and VCN strategy, and the technical migration of our spend-limit decisioning platform onto modern infrastructure. You ll partner closely with engineering, design, risk, and our Enterprise platform partners to ship controls that actually change customer behavior - not just policies that exist on paper. This role reports to the Director of Product, Employee Spend, and sits alongside a peer Expense Management team; the two teams share a single roadmap and prioritization forum, since the differentiated customer experience we re building depends on both halves working as one connected product.

Basic Qualifications:
Currently has, or is in the process of obtaining one of the following with an expectation that the required degree will be obtained on or before the scheduled start date: A Bachelor s or Master’s Degree in a quantitative field (Statistics, Economics, Operations Research, Analytics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Information Systems or a related quantitative field), Business or Marketing
