We are seeking a proactive Business Operations Analyst to join our Internal Audit Strategy & Operations team on secondment to cover maternity leave. In this role, you will provide insight, advice, and guidance to Internal Audit’s (IA) senior leadership team on the current operational risk and control environment across the IA function. You will be responsible for producing high-quality management information (MI), ensuring data integrity, and delivering meaningful insights to support decision-making.

The role also supports a broad range of IA operational activities, including function-wide governance and executive committee reporting. You will have a unique opportunity to gain a deep understanding of Internal Audit’s impact across the Society while contributing to the effectiveness and continuous improvement of the function.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong appreciation of risk management, a passion for working with data, and a desire to further develop their experience within a progressive team. Working collaboratively across Internal Audit, you will support colleagues in the effective use of MetricStream (Nationwide’s risk management system), while helping to uphold high standards of data quality, consistency, and reporting insight. In doing so, you will play a key role in enabling informed decision-making and driving continuous improvement across the Internal Audit function.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

This role sits within the Strategy & Operations (S&O) team - a small, central team that enables the audit function to operate effectively, stay aligned with organisational priorities, and continuously improve its impact. The team supports audit delivery while focusing on how Internal Audit operates and evolves, rather than conducting audits directly.

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.
  • This is a 12-month secondment opportunity.

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.
