Description

Join our growing Mortgage Product team as an Assistant Product Manager!

In this role within Mortgages & Financial Wellbeing, you'll collaborate with pricing teams and stakeholders to deliver product changes across our Owner Occupier and Landlord mortgage brands. You'll also investigate product development opportunities, analyse findings, and present them to the propositional development team.

As you gain experience, you'll become a subject matter expert (SME) on all things product-related. You'll not only lead product changes and development, but you'll also be expected to manage product incidents and policy queries. You'll play a key role in a fast-paced and challenging environment.

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 Northampton, Swindon or Bournemouth office. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works. 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.

If youre inspired by fairer finances, passionate about making a meaningful impact, and truly care about our customers, youre 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.
