About the Role
As a Senior Analyst at Nationwide, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our personal loans and credit cards strategy. Supporting over £4.5bn in unsecured lending, your work will drive informative, actionable insights from complex, high-volume datasets. With a focus on customer behaviour, commercial performance, and risk management, your contributions will ensure our financial solutions remain competitive, member-centric, and sustainable.
The ideal candidate thrives on uncovering trends, translating data into strategic narratives, and collaborating across teams to optimise our lending portfolio.
Key Responsibilities
You’ll be responsible for the following core areas:
- Data-Driven Decisions: Analyse large, intricate datasets to identify performance trends, pricing anomalies, and customer behaviour shifts that impact risk and profitability.
- Commercial Insight: Provide senior stakeholders with clear, compelling reports that inform pricing strategies, loan portfolio management, and product development.
- Strategic Collaboration: Work closely with teams across risk, pricing, product, and regulation to balance our growth objectives against financial stability.
- Risk & Performance: Assess and monitor portfolio health, ensuring robust risk modelling aligns with member needs and business goals.
- Continuous Improvement: Develop and refine analytical methodologies, leveraging expertise in statistical analysis, econometrics, or advanced data tools (e.g., SAS, Python, R).
