Senior Manager, Digital Content Strategy

Senior Manager, Digital Content Strategy & Organic GrowthEver since our first credit card customer in 1994, Capital One has recognized that technology and data can enable even large companies to be innovative and personalized. As one of the first large enterprises to go all-in on the public cloud, Capital One needed to build cloud and data management tools that didn't exist in the marketplace to enable us to operate at scale in the cloud. Through this journey, we've developed a suite of internal solutions uniquely designed to meet the challenges of a digital-first, cloud-first business at scale. We also recognize that many other businesses are facing similar data management needs as they accelerate their cloud and data journeys, and are exploring how best to bring some of the tools to market as enterprise B2B software solutions. And in 2022, we publicly announced Capital One Software and brought our first B2B software solution, Slingshot, to market, followed by Databolt in 2025. Capital One Software is redefining how enterprises engage with our data and cloud solutions. As the Senior Manager, Digital Content Strategy & Organic Growth, you will pioneer a dual-threat visibility strategy: maintaining dominance in traditional search engines while securing our position as the authoritative source in the emerging landscape of AI-driven discovery. You will act as the architect of our digital footprint, bridging the gap between technical SEO, editorial strategy, and brand authority. Your core mandate is to evolve our presence from simply "ranking for keywords" to "owning the answer." You will ensure that whether a prospect asks a search engine or a Large Language Model (LLM) about enterprise data solutions, Capital One Software is the cited expert. To achieve this, you will build a content architecture that is structured for machines and compelling for humans. You will blend on-site content excellence with off-site visibility strategies to drive high-intent, qualified traffic across the entire customer lifecycle, from the buyer's journey (discovery and lead gen) to the customer journey (education and advocacy). We seek a visionary leader who understands that search is evolving into dialogue.
