Financial Crime Analytics Consultant
As a Financial Crime Analytics Consultant, you’ll play a key role in protecting Nationwide and its members by helping to prevent and detect fraud and scams across our portfolio. Joining a high-performing Fraud Analytics team, you’ll work with colleagues and stakeholders from across the business to enhance our fraud detection capabilities, optimise prevention systems, develop new detection rules, and continuously monitor and improve existing controls.
About the Role
We're looking for someone with experience using SQL, SAS or similar coding languages within a financial services environment, alongside a background in Economic Crime, Fraud, or Anti-Money Laundering. You’ll bring strong analytical skills, including advanced Excel knowledge, a deep understanding of fraud and scam typologies, and insight into payment processes. Just as importantly, you’ll be a collaborative and curious individual who enjoys working with others, embraces new challenges, and is motivated to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact within our Economic Crime function and the wider business.
We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best.
This is an 18-month Fixed Term Contract opportunity.
Responsibilities
What You’ll Be Doing
In this role, you’ll help protect both Nationwide and its members by developing and enhancing fraud detection strategies that identify suspicious activity and reduce exposure to financial loss. Using your financial crime expertise and strong analytical skills, you’ll monitor detection performance, interrogate complex data, and take ownership of solutions that improve the effectiveness of fraud prevention controls.
As fraud and payment trends continue to evolve, you’ll play a key role in shaping responses to emerging threats through strategic thinking, innovation, and continuous improvement. We’re looking for someone who is adaptable, curious, and proactive, with the creativity to challenge existing approaches and the drive to deliver smarter, more effective outcomes.
About You
As a minimum requirement you’ll need:
- Proven experience within Economic Crime, Fraud, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) or a related financial crime environment
- Adept knowledge of fraud and scam typologies, payment journeys, and the controls used to detect and prevent financial crime
- Experience coding in SQL, SAS, or other languages such as Python or C#
- Excellent Excel skills for data analysis, including pivot tables and VLOOKUP
- Experience using fraud detection systems such as Actimize, SIRA, Biocatch and PRM or comparable systems
- Solid communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence, challenge constructively, and present technical information clearly to a non-technical audience
- Excellent organisational and problem-solving abilities, with the confidence to make recommendations, manage competing priorities, and drive continuous improvement initiatives
