Job description

We’re looking for a Risk Partner to join our Finance Risk & Controls team and play a visible role in strengthening risk management across Finance.

Finance Risk & Controls supports Finance to manage risk confidently, strengthen governance and maintain an effective control environment. We work closely with Finance teams, senior stakeholders, second line risk, internal audit and wider business areas to ensure risk, control, governance and reporting requirements are clear, embedded and delivered to a high standard.

As Risk Partner, you’ll help set the standard for strong risk management across Finance. You’ll provide practical risk, control and governance advice, represent the team in key forums, and turn complex information into clear insight that supports better decisions.

You’ll support control simplification and automation, strengthen governance and reporting, and ensure risk and control matters are presented accurately, consistently and with impact. This includes producing sharp senior management and committee reporting, supporting effective governance, and making sure issues, actions and control themes are clearly articulated and followed through.

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 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 Glasgow or Swindon site approximately once per quarter. 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.

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.
