Performance & Operations Senior Consultant

The main purpose of the role is to interpret meeting requirements and design and implement reporting to key forums. You’ll need to produce reporting that includes actionable insight, so that senior management can take decisions.

This role is within the First Line Economic Crime function, which is responsible for protecting Nationwide and its customers from economic crime.

This is a new role within the Governance, Risk and Control team, who look to ensure the function operates in line with policies and remains compliant with legal and regulatory obligations.

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 London, Swindon, Northampton, Bournemouth, Sheffield, Wakefield or Dunfermline office. Whilst these locations are where we are primarily looking to fill the role, if you’re an internal applicant based in a different location, we would welcome your application and if successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this could work for this specific role. 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

• Produce reporting for escalation through Nationwide’s risk governance, to enable effective, informed decision making. You’ll train others on how to do this too.
• Design, operate, and evidence report production controls that are effective and efficient. In fact, one of your big challenges in the first six months will be ensuring our reporting controls are in line with relevant policy requirements.
• Work with relevant teams to manage MI development, ensuring risk and control indicators are accurate, consistent, and provide senior management with sufficient information to understand performance.
• Manage meetings and diaries to support Senior Leaders within Protect. This includes taking minutes and actions.

About you

• Recent experience of developing, implementing, and producing regular reporting.
• An ability to challenge existing procedures.
• Organisation and planning/time management skills.
• Experience managing MI development.
• Excellent communication skills, written and verbal.
• Experience managing diaries.

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.

Banking – but fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society

We forge our own path at Nationwide.

As a mutual, we’re owned by our members – those customers who bank, save or have a mortgage with us. We challenge the financial sector status quo. We don’t see customers as the engine of our own profit. We share our profits with them and put their needs first. Always there when they need us. Supporting them and their lives.

If you’re inspired by fairer finances, passionate about making a meaningful impact, and truly care about our customers, you’re one of us.

At Nationwide, you are challenged to grow and rewarded for doing so. Valued. Recognised. Inspired to be your best. As a community we want our working lives to count. As a team, we celebrate what we achieve. As a standard-setter, we work for the good of customers, communities, and broader society.

We are Purpose-driven. Uncompromisingly Customer. Unstoppably Nationwide.
