12 months Fixed Term Contract Initial

Hybrid role (UK Wide)

As a member of our Financial Crime Analytics team, you’ll be working hands-on to build and maintain our defences against the constant threat of financial crime. You’ll use your financial crime and/or technical background to ensure we identify potential criminal activity and comply with money laundering regulations whilst optimising the effectiveness and efficiency of key controls.

This role is for a 12 month fixed term contract within our first line financial crime analytics team and will see you specialise in AML Customer Risk Assessment. The team’s aim is to protect the Society and our members from financial crime, ensuring we achieve regulatory and legal compliance in a way that optimises effectiveness and efficiency.

We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best.

At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.

For this job you'll spend at least two days per week, or if part time you'll spend 40% of your working time, based at either our London, Swindon, Northampton, Bournemouth, Dunfermline, Sheffield or Wakefield office. Whilst these locations are where we are primarily looking to fill the role, if you’re an internal applicant based in a different location we would welcome your application and if successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this could work for this specific role. You can also find out more about our approach to hybrid working here.

If we receive a high volume of relevant applications, we may close the advert earlier than the advertised date, so please apply as soon as you can.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be working with established frameworks, leading a new team to build out the Customer Risk Assessment controls for Nationwide’s Business and Non-Retail customers. This includes driving the uplift and re-design of the Non-Retail Customer Risk Assessment. You’ll be responsible for managing the team delivering this review and re-design, including risk mapping and/or gap analysis, calibration of model output and documentation of the redesigned Customer Risk Assessment methodology. In addition to this, you’ll be responsible for communicating updates and progress to your Senior Manager, implementing appropriate quality controls and reporting into financial crime forums.

As the leader of this team, you will be responsible for liaising with 2nd line colleagues and networking with key contacts across the business to ensure robust Customer Risk Assessment controls are in place.

About you

• Recent experience working in AML Customer Risk Assessment
• Strong understanding of the financial crime risks associated with business and non-retail customers/accounts
• Previous experience leading a team
• Knowledge and recent experience of data structures associated with financial crimes
• Proven technical/analytical skills in a relevant role
• Strong problem solving skills with the confidence to recommend solutions to various stakeholders
• Recent, hands on experience with some of the following technologies: SAS, SQL, python, PowerBI, Power Apps, VBA

Our customer first behaviours put customers and members at the heart of how we work together. They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:

• Feel what customers feel - We step into our customers’ shoes, using their feedback and insights to empathise with them and to understand their needs, so that every decision we make starts and finishes with our customers in mind
• Say it straight - We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think – we’re honest and direct with good intent, openly sharing diverse perspectives to reach the best conclusions and using language everyone can understand
• Push for better - We don’t settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development
• Get it done - We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes

You can strengthen your application by showing how our customer first behaviours resonate with you, and where you may have already demonstrated these.

The extras you’ll get

There are all sorts of employee benefits available at Nationwide, including:

• A personal pension – if you put in 7% of your salary, we’ll top up by a further 16%
• Up to 2 days of paid volunteering a year
• Life assurance worth 8x your salary
• A great selection of additional benefits through our salary sacrifice scheme
• Wellhub – Access to a range of free and paid options for health and wellness

Banking – but fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society

We forge our own path at Nationwide.

As a mutual, we’re owned by our members - those customers who bank, save or have a mortgage with us. We challenge the financial sector status quo. We don’t see customers as the engine of our own profit. We share our profits with them and put their needs first. Always there when they need us. Supporting them and their lives.

If you’re inspired by fairer finances, passionate about making a meaningful impact, and truly care about our customers, you’re one of us.

At Nationwide, you are challenged to grow and rewarded for doing so. Valued. Recognised. Inspired to be your best. As a community we want our working lives to count. As a team, we celebrate what we achieve. As a standard-setter, we work for the good of customers, communities, and broader society.

We are Purpose-driven. Uncompromisingly Customer. Unstoppably Nationwide.
