Senior Analyst (Pricing & Performance)

Banking & Savings is at the heart of Nationwide: nearly £1 in every £10 saved in the UK is entrusted to us. As a Senior Pricing Analyst, you’ll be part of the team looking after the pricing, performance and planning for our millions of savings and current accounts. You’ll be getting to the story behind the numbers; part of our journey is to understand not just how the money moves, but the market and customer dynamics that are driving this. We are an inclusive and supportive team who are curious about the markets we operate in and passionate about meeting our members’ Banking & Savings needs. We play a pivotal role in ensuring the strong financial performance of our products to ensure that Nationwide is built to last. 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 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 or Northampton office.
