Job description

Financial / Treasury Consultant - Capital Reporting & Forecasting

Join our team at the core of Nationwide's Treasury reporting function! As a key member of the capital reporting and forecasting team, you will play a crucial role in producing, distributing, and managing precise and timely capital-related reports for regulatory and risk management purposes. Additionally, you will contribute to forecasting the Society's capital position, ensuring compliance with future regulatory capital requirements.

You will actively collaborate across the Finance Function and the broader business, requiring a proactive, self-motivated approach and a passion for learning. As a team player, you will excel in analysing and identifying trends, and you will confidently present clear, technical explanations to senior colleagues.

The team plays a pivotal role in the Society's capital reporting and forecasting, influencing key decisions that shape Nationwide's future. These reports enable senior leadership to ensure the Society maintains sufficient capital to meet board and regulatory requirements and are thus subject to rigorous scrutiny. In an ever-evolving regulatory and economic landscape, the team's outputs are more critical than ever, driving both visibility and accountability.

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 Swindon or London 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.
What you'll be doing

In this role, you will produce and review reports that manage one of Nationwide's most critical risks: capital risk. While you don't need to be an expert, a basic understanding of capital risk is necessary. This position offers a valuable opportunity to learn about managing the Society's credit risk exposures and capital resources to ensure solvency and regulatory compliance.

Success requires a desire to work in a challenging yet rewarding environment, an inquisitive mindset, and a strong desire to learn. A genuine interest in financial markets and an understanding of how banks and building societies manage risk are essential. Additionally, knowledge of prudential reporting frameworks, such as Basel III, is preferential.

This role places you at the heart of Nationwide's Treasury department, working closely with other Treasury areas. It is ideal for someone who thrives on challenges, possesses natural curiosity, and has a proven track record of delivering high-quality technical reporting.
About you

As a minimum requirement you'll need to have:

• Strong analytical ability and a proven track record of delivering to a high standard, on time
• Experience of reporting or forecasting, ideally in a banking or treasury environment
• Attention to detail and an ability to review highly technical reporting to identify anomalies and discrepancies
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with ability to present to senior management
• Excellent Microsoft Excel skills, the ability to deliver end to end solutions, analyse complex data and understand its meaning
• A good understanding of capital risk

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
