Risk Manager

£41,623 - £49,947

Swindon

At Nationwide, we want to give each and every customer peace of mind. And one of the ways we can do that is by monitoring and mitigating risk. Joining a small team of senior managers, you’ll oversee all operational risk within Banking and Savings.

About the role
Part of our Member Account Administration team, you’ll ensure we provide outstanding back office support to retail, focusing in particular on products such as ISAs, Savings and Bonds. This is a high profile role – you’ll be working closely with our Head of Banking and Savings to deliver risk agendas as well as influencing managers across the division. We’ll expect you to identify key risk areas – namely human error, professional fraud and system risk – and to put any mitigating actions into place. Your role also involves developing a risk framework, embedding a risk profile and promoting an avoidance culture where people are aware of and report any risk.

About you
Coming to us from a commercial or Blue Chip background, your risk experience must include time spent working in a payments environment. A fact-based approach to problem-solving is essential, as is real clarity of focus. A confident communicator, calm under pressure and flexible in your approach, you’ll need the ability to engage different people across the department and bring to life the importance of risk in their everyday work. Since the role will involve dividing your time between our main sites in Swindon, Northampton and Bournemouth, you must also be prepared for the traveling that entails.

About us
In today’s economic climate, our reputation for being open, honest and trustworthy is benefiting our customers and our business. Underpinning it all is a commercial operation that’s keenly competitive and constantly evolving. Right now, right across our business, we’re aiming higher, thinking smarter and acting faster than ever before. And we need people who are proud of what we stand for, and who have the talent and drive to boost our performance still further.

About your rewards
We have big ambitions for our business – and high expectations of the people who’ll help us achieve them. In return, as well as plenty of scope for personal development, you can look forward to the recognition and kind of rewards package you’ve come to expect from us.
