Job description

We have an exciting opportunity for two Consultants to join the Supplier Testing Team within Business Services. The team is responsible for planning and delivering assessments of our high-risk suppliers against a range of operational and conduct risk categories, while engaging with a broad range of stakeholders both internally and externally.

As a Controls Testing Consultant, you'll take end-to-end ownership of a number of supplier tests within the annual plan, delivering them to agreed timescales and quality standards in line with the methodology. Your assessments will evaluate the effectiveness of controls and provide assurance that our suppliers are meeting the requirements set out in both the contract and NBS supplier policy. Where gaps are identified, you'll present recommendations for remediation and work with the business area to ensure suppliers progress agreed action plans in a timely manner.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a highly organised and driven individual with an analytical mindset, who understands the importance of effective controls, is keen to develop expertise across multiple risk categories, and is confident engaging with stakeholders at all levels.

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 be located at our nearest regional office or hub. There will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration and in some locations you’ll be expected to spend at least two days a week, or if part time you'll spend 40% of your working time, in the office. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.

Nationwide is committed to the redeployment of our employees impacted by change, as such applications for redeployment candidates will be prioritised in this recruitment process.

If you’re a colleague on long-term absence (for example, on parental leave) or a temporary worker, please use your personal email address to submit an application.
