Senior Analyst within Banking & Savings
As a Senior Analyst within Banking & Savings, you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact in a business that looks after nearly £1 in every £8 saved in the UK. Working across millions of savings and current accounts, you’ll use complex, high-volume data to uncover meaningful insights, helping to shape pricing strategies, monitor performance and support future planning. By identifying trends in customer and market behaviour, you’ll turn data into clear, compelling recommendations that influence pricing strategy, support senior decision-making and contribute to the long-term success of Banking & Savings.
We’re looking for a naturally curious and proactive analyst who enjoys solving problems, exploring data and uncovering the story behind the numbers. You'll be comfortable challenging assumptions, identifying opportunities and risks, and using insight to support strategic discussions and decision-making. Confident working with large datasets, you'll develop and maintain reporting and analytical tools while delivering both regular MI (management information) and ad hoc analysis, including supporting pricing integration activities. Strong numerical and technical skills, combined with the ability to simplify complex information, build effective stakeholder relationships and adapt to a dynamic, fast-moving market environment, will be key to your success.
You’ll join a collaborative and supportive team that is passionate about understanding market dynamics and delivering great outcomes for our members. In return, you’ll have the opportunity to work alongside knowledgeable colleagues, contribute to the financial performance of our products and play an important role in helping Nationwide build a resilient future through insightful analysis, informed decision-making and a deep understanding of our members’ needs.
We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best.
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.
For this job you'll be located at our nearest regional office or hub. There will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration and in some locations you’ll be expected to spend at least two days a week, or if part time you'll spend 40% of your working time, in the office. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.
Nationwide is committed to the redeployment of our employees impacted by change, as such applications for redeployment candidates will be prioritised in this recruitment process. If you’re a colleague on long-term absence (for example, on parental leave) or a temporary worker, please use your personal email address to submit an application.
RESPONSIBILITIES
What you’ll be doing

You'll work closely with a range of stakeholders across Banking & Savings, using data and insight to influence decisions, challenge thinking where appropriate and support the development of strategic initiatives.
