Senior Manager for Customer Journey Performance

As our Senior Manager for Customer Journey Performance, you’ll lead how we understand and improve performance across our end-to-end customer journeys in Business Banking. You’ll work at pace to bring together data, research and frontline insight to create a clear, connected view of customer experience as they start, run and grow their business – including digital, phone and colleague-supported channels.

You’ll shape and own our journey performance approach: defining measures that matter, building dashboards and reporting, and turning insight into practical recommendations that teams can act on.

Working closely with teams across Business Banking and with key stakeholders, you’ll identify friction, diagnose root causes and prioritise opportunities to improve customer outcomes and commercial performance.

A key focus will be deepening our insight across journeys – improving how we link customer feedback, complaints, contact reasons, operational performance and colleague observations. You’ll champion a test-and-learn mindset, ensuring we can evidence what’s changing, why it matters, and where to focus next for the greatest impact.

If you’re passionate about understanding customers, confident working with complex data, and skilled at influencing senior stakeholders, you’ll find real scope to shape how we measure and improve business customer journeys.

About the Role

This is a new role in our Business Performance and Optimisation team. We work across Business Banking to bring together insight, reporting and performance. Developing and tracking the measures that matter and translating complex information into clear actions, we help shape strategic priorities, support delivery of our growth ambition and accelerate key initiatives.

Just as importantly, our work improves the day-to-day experience for customers: we spotlight where journeys are working well and what changes will make it easier for customers. The result is better outcomes, stronger advocacy and improved commercial performance for Business Banking.

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 Glasgow hub. There will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration events, this is anticipated to be monthly in Glasgow. 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.

Virgin Money is now part of Nationwide

Nationwide acquired Virgin Money in October 2024. Virgin Money continues to serve customers on the high street, and there will be a phased and considered integration over the coming years.

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.
