Do you want to have an influence on making the UK a more responsible business market, helping our business customers to decarbonise and make their business more responsible?
Following the acquisition of Virgin Money, Nationwide is on a bold journey to build leading, relationship‑led business banking, combining strong customer advocacy, deep sector and local knowledge, sustainable growth and disciplined risk management aligned to the benefits of being a modern mutual.
We are seeking a Product Manager – Sustainable Finance Industry Manager to deliver sector-specific sustainability to our customers whilst supporting Nationwide to deliver responsible business banking as we bring the mutual model to the UK SME market.
You will specialise in either Agriculture & Energy, or Manufacturing & Transport, and you’ll use specialist knowledge on decarbonisation and broader challenges and opportunities in what makes a responsible business – working directly with customers, professional advisors and other stakeholders to engage, understand and influence customers on current and future actions to help them become a more responsible business.
This is a new role, with opportunity to shape, influence and drive how we engage with (primarily) larger borrowing customers – working closely with senior colleagues in Business Banking, Risk and Finance to design and deliver on a range of initiatives, including but not limited to – policy progress, data enhancements and customer experience. This will be done in a style that reflects Nationwide’s values: customer-first, inclusive, collaborative and principled.
