Capital One’s Agency Finance Team is seeking a highly analytical and proactive Insurance Risk-Principal Associate to join our team.

  • Stakeholder Coordination: Partner with internal lines of business and external stakeholders (borrowers, agents, third-party providers, and GSEs) to provide expert guidance on insurance matters.

  • Force Placement & Audit: Manage force-placed insurance processes when necessary and represent the department in both internal and external audits.

  • Process Improvement: Proactively identify opportunities to streamline workflows, increase internal controls, and improve departmental efficiency.

Additional Responsibilities:

  • Analytical Rigor: The ability to assess risk beyond a basic checklist, understanding the "why" behind coverage requirements and the broader implications of a deficiency.

  • Exceptional Communication: Strong professional correspondence skills and the ability to write technical justifications that are clear, persuasive, and concise.

  • Accountability: A proven track record of working independently, managing a high-volume, and meeting deadlines.

Basic Qualifications:

  • High School Diploma, GED, or equivalent certification

  • At least 3 years of experience in the insurance industry, with a focus on commercial risk, underwriting, or compliance

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s Degree or Military experience
