Join Nationwide as a Senior Economic Crime Investigator

Become part of a highly respected Economic Crime team dedicated to protecting our members and the Society from financial crime. Working at the forefront of fraud prevention, you’ll investigate complex fraud complaints while responding to the ever-evolving tactics used by criminals. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference to our members’ lives, delivering fair outcomes and exceptional customer experiences while supporting Nationwide’s purpose of putting members first.


About the Role

In this role, you’ll use your fraud expertise to manage a wide range of complex and high-profile complaints across all fraud typologies, including sensitive cases that may attract media or executive attention. Confident in your decision-making and communication, you’ll engage effectively with members, conduct thorough investigations, complete DSAR checks and ensure complaints are resolved fairly and professionally. Working closely with colleagues and stakeholders across the business, you’ll also identify opportunities to strengthen fraud prevention, enhance complaint-handling processes and support continuous improvement.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
