About Capital One Canada.
For 30 years, we've been on a mission to change banking for good and build relationships by making credit accessible, simple, intuitive and rewarding. We want to help Canadians succeed with credit, because we believe in people — in our customers, in our associates, and in talent like you
About The Team
Our Experience Design (XD) team doesn't just inform design; we help shape product strategy and experiences. You will lead a highly skilled team that bridges the gap between 'what the customer does' (XD behavioral research) and 'how the customer feels' (CX metrics). We're looking for a team player and leader who can lead a team to bring actionable insights and metrics forward and help our teams drive measurable outcomes and create incredible experiences for our customers.
About You
- Strategic Research Leader: You are an expert at building and scaling high-performing teams, with a proven track record of hiring and coaching XD Researchers and CX Associates.
- Holistic Insights Strategist: You seamlessly harmonize top-down CX metrics (NPS, CSAT, Journey metrics) with bottom-up XD insights (ethnography, usability, discovery) to create a 360-degree view of the Canadian customer.
- Mixed-Methods Expert: You have a deep toolkit of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, from conducting deep-dive customer interviews and contextual inquiries to managing CX measurement programs.
- Agile XD Practitioner: You are a pro at navigating the full XD research lifecycle—utilizing lean and rapid testing (card sorting, tree testing, prototyping) within cross-functional agile teams to drive iterative design.
- Data-Driven Storyteller: You don't just report on user insights, behavior, and NPS trends; you translate them into compelling narratives that influence product strategy and design decisions.
- Impact-Focused Advocate: You believe research is only successful when it drives measurable outcomes. You use human-centered design to ensure every experience we build is simple, intuitive, and rewarding.
*Key Responsibilities:
XD research strategy & planning*
- Build, manage, and lead a high-performing team including XD Researchers covering a range of qualitative and quantitative research methods including customer interviews, surveys, contextual inquiries, diary studies, concept testing, desirability testing, card sorting, tree testing, usability testing, and other research techniques.
- Work closely with product management and engineering partners to align XD researchers with priority cross-functional agile teams delivering digital experiences.
- Lead the team to adopt lean, agile and rapid research approaches to drive iterative experimentation and innovative learnings that will impact our key experiences and innovations.
- Demonstrable ability to select the most appropriate methodology to uncover both product strategy-level questions as well as usability issues, and, where necessary, to adapt the appropriate method or to define new research methods.
- Ability to lead key priority research initiatives as an individual contributor when required for key priorities.
- Actively monitor and analyze research, metrics, data, and trends from internal sources, academic research, and industry published reports to inform and improve our research methods.
- Define standards and best practices for how XD research is done for the organization. Explore opportunities to democratize research support with partner teams where appropriate.
*CX measurement strategy & planning*
- Build and lead a robust CX measurement program, mentoring a CX Associate to track, analyze, and report on NPS, CSAT, and end-to-end journey health metrics.
- Partner with strategy, marketing, product, engineering and service teams to prioritize, plan, and deliver on CX measurement initiatives.
- Work closely with the team and partners to determine how to best leverage and drive outcomes from our CX metrics and insights.
- Present and communicate research, analysis, and CX metrics clearly and effectively across various organizations in engaging and useful formats.
- Define standards and best practices for how CX measurement is done for the organization. Explore opportunities to democratize research support with partner teams where appropriate.
*Lead & develop teams*
- Lead, manage, and elevate team members through career development, mentoring, and coaching
- Balance hands-on practice with stepping back to let your team of researchers and associates grow and develop their skills.
- Guide team members in strategy, research, alignment, prioritization, and analysis through lean and rapid research approaches
- Lead the team in creating templates and guidelines, best practices, and research documentation to facilitate a growing research team's work and decentralization where appropriate.
- Navigate conflict resolution within your team as well as within projects, teams and partner relationships.
*Basic Qualifications:*
- Minimum 3 years experience managing and leading XD research teams (as a formal people leader).
- Minimum 5 years of experience in UX/CX Research, with a proven track record in both qualitative (ethnography, usability etc.) and quantitative (NPS etc.) methods within an Agile product environment working with product, design, and engineering teams.
- Minimum 5 years of experience working on consumer web and mobile app products.
- At least 3 years experience leading and reporting on CX measurement programs and metrics.
*Preferred Qualifications:*
- Bachelor's Degree in Experience Design, User Experience, Human-Centered Design, Customer Experience, Social Science, Psychology, Research, or other related field, or equivalent experience.
- Proven ability to break down silos and unite cross-functional partners to turn research insights into business action.
- Strong business acumen with the ability to connect customer pain points directly to business KPIs and product strategy.
- Proven ability to deliver customer-centric solutions while navigating complex regulatory and legal requirements.
