  • Working collaboratively with colleagues across the COO Digital, COO GRC, Policy partners and across Business risk partners to appropriately identify, assess, manage, monitor and review all the key risks and controls in the development, delivery and management of digital products and services.
  • You’ll need to be prepared to show flexibility and work with momentum. We’re looking for collaborators who can deliver at pace and can listen and absorb quickly, but someone who’s also able to challenge effectively to drive the right outcomes.
  • Identify and grow the controls landscape; repurpose and uplift existing controls and guardrails where appropriate for Innovation and emerging tech. Monitor and evaluate critical controls and provide insightful reports to executive management.
  • Support loss event management, investigation and reporting.

What makes us different

Nationwide is the world’s largest building society. With over 15 million customers, we have a relationship with almost a quarter of the UK’s population. We’ve got the scale to compete with the big banks, but we’re not a bank.

As a building society, we’re owned by our members – that’s our customers who have their current account, mortgage or savings with us. It means we can do things differently to deliver our Purpose – Banking – but fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society.

When you work at Nationwide, you can experience that difference for yourself. You’ll be part of a high-performing, purpose-driven organisation that offers rewarding career experiences and a highly competitive range of benefits to match. You’ll also be joining us at an important time as we seek to reach more and more people in the UK. We want everyone in the UK to know that they don’t have to bank with a bank. They can choose a modern mutual instead.
