Job description

The Payments CIO function is delivering one of the most significant payment transformation programmes in Nationwide's history, replacing legacy payment processing capabilities with strategic SAP Fioneer solutions that will sit at the heart of the Society's future payments architecture.

This role provides a rare opportunity to lead delivery across Nationwide's strategic Payment Centralisation platform, supporting the future processing of BACS, Card Clearing & Settlement, CHAPS and more across the Group. We are seeking a highly experienced Project Manager with specialist knowledge of SAP Fioneer Payment Centralisation, associated SAP technologies and payments processes.

Success in this role requires a unique combination of project delivery leadership, deep payments expertise and practical experience working with SAP Fioneer products and methodologies, specifically Payments Centralisation. You will bring knowledge and experience through traditional project management backgrounds, helping Nationwide maximise the value of a strategic long-term investment that will remain central to the organisation's payment capabilities for many years to come.

Working with senior stakeholders, architects, engineers, business leaders and strategic partners, you will lead complex delivery activities, influence key decisions and help shape the future direction of payments processing across the Society.

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 role, you'll be based at your nearest regional office or hub. We value time spent together to connect with colleagues for collaboration so there will be a regular requirement to attend our Swindon or London site approximately once per month. If you are based at an office location, you'll be expected to meet our hybrid working requirement of at least two days a week, or 40% of your working time if part-time, in the office. If you’re based at our Glasgow office, this will apply from 1 April 2027 and ahead of that there will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration events. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.
