Systems Data & Change Manager - Axiom Projects in Swindon

We’re creating a dedicated projects role within the Axiom team to strengthen our capacity to deliver new regulatory reporting solutions and platform enhancements. You’ll work across Finance, Treasury and technology teams to translate complex requirements into clear, tested solutions and manage their transition into business-as-usual operation. This hands-on role combines change delivery, business analysis and testing. Working closely with developers, reporting specialists and business stakeholders, you’ll help deliver solutions that support accurate and timely regulatory reporting, resolve delivery issues and ensure new capabilities are ready for live operation.

This role is for an experienced and passionate individual who excels in analysing complex and technical regulatory requirements and has experience in delivering projects from start to finish. Working across FC&O (Future Capabilities and Operations), Treasury and Finance, you’ll help improve regulatory reporting processes and deliver solutions that meet business needs and can be supported effectively in live operation.

We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best. The working hours (per week) for this role can be between 28 and 35 hours. 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 our Swindon office.

If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works. You can also find out more about our approach to hybrid working here. 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.
