Risk Analyst Lead - Property Policy
This is an excellent opportunity for a Risk Analyst Lead to join the Property Policy team in Property Risk, joining a team responsible for developing, updating, maintaining, and implementing our property policy standards across both our residential and buy-to-let lending streams. This is a wide-ranging role, which involves providing assistance at the front end of mortgage application processes, responsible for engaging with both Solicitors and internal stakeholders and providing advice to existing customers who are looking to complete certain, complex onward transactions with the Society.
The Property Policy team are a close-knit, friendly group, and this role provides an opportunity to join a team that keeps both the society and our customers safe and secure, whilst delivering innovative, forward-thinking policy advice and decisioning on both external and internal platforms.
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.
For this job, you'll spend at least two days per week, or if part-time, you'll spend 40% of your working time, based at either our London or Bournemouth office. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works. You can also find out more about our approach to hybrid working here.
If we receive a high volume of relevant applications, we may close the advert earlier than the advertised date, so please apply as soon as you can.
RESPONSIBILITIES
What you’ll be doing
This Risk Analyst Lead role is primarily focused upon producing, governing, evolving, and explaining our property policy requirements and standards to both internal and external stakeholders, at times in pressured timescales. The successful candidate will need to be comfortable with decision-making and happy to challenge when things don’t feel right, being at ease with challenging the status quo. At Nationwide, we aim to have an industry-leading property policy, and this means every day will be slightly different, whether that be answering complex solicitor queries on live mortgage applications or helping a customer realise the potential in their property once they are a customer with us – and always staying on the front foot of industry and government policy evolution.
