Do you have an interest in issue investigation and resolution on behalf of our customers? Then a Business Analyst role in the Remediation Centre of Excellence could be the role for you!

At Nationwide we aim to get things right first time, but when something does go wrong, we pride ourselves in putting it right for our customers quickly and efficiently. As our name suggests, the Remediation Centre of Excellence is a specialised cross community capability who rapidly assimilate knowledge and build an understanding of emerging issues and incidents through analysis of data and processes to conduct the required remediation for impacted customers.

We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best. This is a 12 month Fixed Term Contract. At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible.

You will deliver explicit, quantifiable, and testable requirements through the elicitation, documentation, validation, and management of requirements. You will be managing changes in requirements or processes, ensuring alignment to priorities and other relevant change initiatives. Furthermore, you will also maintain the traceability of business requirements to the solution, with the status and ownership communicated to relevant stakeholders and you'll provide requirements consultancy throughout the project lifecycle to ensure traceability remains correct and current.

Additionally, you'll provide timely updates to the Senior and Lead Business Analyst with estimates, progress, updates to plan, risks, issues, and quality assessments such as peer reviews. You will share lessons learnt and provide feedback as requested and collaborate with colleagues inside and outside of the Remediation CoE ensuring that work is delivered on time, to the required quality and aligning to the CoE standards and principles.

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.
