The Senior Risk & Control Analyst role sits within the Business Banking Business Controls team and supports the ongoing identification, understanding and management of risks and controls across the Business Banking business.

You will use data, management information and insight to support a clear view of the risk and control environment, helping to identify emerging themes and areas for improvement.

This role provides a strong foundation in risk and control practices while building knowledge of Business Banking processes, products and regulatory expectations.

At Nationwide, we offer hybrid working wherever possible.

• Up to 2 days of paid volunteering a year

What you’ll be doing

You’ll produce and maintain management information and reporting to support risk and control oversight. You’ll analyse data to identify trends, themes and potential control weaknesses, turning that insight into clear reporting for senior stakeholders and helping drive timely action plans. You’ll support the continuous improvement of the Business Banking risk profile by documenting risk assessments, controls, events and issues. You’ll build effective working relationships with key stakeholders across Business Banking and the second and third lines of defence to support the management of a complex and evolving risk profile.

• Exceptional analytical skills, with experience using data and MI to identify themes, issues and actions, and to produce clear reporting
• The ability to engage, influence and present to stakeholders at different levels of seniority, including communicating complex topics in simple language
• Knowledge of risk management frameworks and control environments within regulated environments
• Understanding of regulatory and business practices relating to at least one lending product or the ability to build this quickly
• A collaborative approach with strong interpersonal skills and curiosity to understand how business activities and portfolios operate in practice

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.
