About Rachel Jennings

I specialize in strategic project management and business analysis, with experience managing multimillion-dollar budgets, leading high-impact initiatives, and using data-driven insights to improve efficiency and outcomes. In my current role, I support enterprise-wide learning and development efforts through strategic budgeting, cross-functional collaboration, and targeted analysis. My work involves building scalable reporting processes, forecasting spend, and leading initiatives that help teams align training investments with broader business goals. I bring a balance of precision and big-picture thinking to every project.Previously, I completed Capital One’s Management Rotation Program, gaining hands-on experience across program management and agile delivery. From designing engagement strategies for associate development to streamlining engineering workflows in Jira, I developed a strong foundation in optimizing team performance and delivering value across multiple domains.Academically, I’m pursuing an MBA with a finance concentration while working full-time. My undergraduate studies combined science and business, equipping me with a unique dual lens for solving problems with analytical rigor from the sciences and strategic thinking from business. With an integrated major and minors in Accountancy and Science, Technology, and Values, my education reflects both breadth and depth, giving me the agility to understand and navigate complex challenges from multiple perspectives.
