What you’ll be doing

You’ll be working closely with the Planning and Partnering Team to provide analysis on the performance of our 1-1 member campaigns. The campaigns are across different channels, mainly email, mail and digital and using different data sources to target different member groups. You will be using some performance metrics created from our in-house reporting tool – Marketing, Effectiveness & Performance (MEP) and also advising and in most cases carrying out more in-depth campaign performance around channel, targeting groups and creative performance.

You will be responsible for leading Campaign Performance reviews within our product teams so that we can ensure all learnings from our campaign are reviewed and any recommendations are incorporated into future campaigns. This will help us improve our results through targeting the right members with the right product and with the right creative message.

About you

We’re looking for someone with the following skills, experience and knowledge:

• Previous experience in Campaign Performance with knowledge of AB testing, control groups, significance testing and typical inclusion and exclusion criteria applied within marketing campaigns.
• Excellent knowledge of Excel, in particular pivot tables, to read results from existing reports and also produce new reports as and when required.
• Proven experience of SAS to interrogate different data sources and summarise campaign results as well as providing additional ad-hoc analysis to understand different member journeys.
• Be able to present results to a non-technical audience and advise on recommendations going forwards.
• A high level of numeracy and critical thinking: you can quickly assess campaign results and work with stakeholders to drive forward recommendations.

Our Customer First behaviours are all about putting customers and members at the heart of how we work together. You can strengthen your application by showing the behaviours that resonate with you, and how you might have already demonstrated these.

• Say it straight – This is about being honest and direct with good intent and saying what needs to be said in the room. It’s also about being clear, precise, and using language that we and, importantly, our customers and members can understand.
• Push for better – This is about aiming high and constantly looking for better in how we work together and serve our customers and members.
• Get it done – This is about prioritising what will have the greatest impact, being decisive and taking accountability for delivering on the end-to-end outcome.

We know applying for jobs can sometimes feel like you’re sending an application into a black hole. We review each application individually. So, it’s a good idea to call out your most relevant experience on your application to give yourself the best chance.

What makes us different

Nationwide is the world’s largest building society. With over 15 million customers, we have a relationship with almost a quarter of the UK’s population. We’ve got the scale to compete with the big banks, but we’re not a bank.

As a building society, we’re owned by our members – that’s our customers who have their current account, mortgage or savings with us. It means we can do things differently to deliver our Purpose – Banking – but fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society.

When you work at Nationwide, you can experience that difference for yourself. You’ll be part of a high-performing, purpose-driven organisation that offers rewarding career experiences and a highly competitive range of benefits to match. You’ll also be joining us at an important time as we seek to reach more and more people in the UK. We want everyone in the UK to know that they don’t have to bank with a bank. They can choose a modern mutual instead.
