About Nationwide

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 Swindon, Northampton, or London 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.

What You’ll Be Doing

• You’ll take the lead in shaping and delivering the sustainability strategy across the property portfolio, turning ESG goals into clear, practical actions with defined ownership.
• You’ll keep a close eye on performance, analysing and reporting progress, and making sure all internal and external reporting – including updates at board level – is accurate and on track.
• You’ll play a key role in driving improvements across energy, water, waste, and carbon, working with suppliers and using tools like energy modelling and lifecycle analysis to identify opportunities.
• You’ll also make sure everything stays aligned with key regulations such as MEES, IFRS, and TCFD, while embedding strong policies, data standards, and recognised frameworks like BREEAM, WELL, or LEED.
• At the same time, you’ll build strong relationships with senior stakeholders and partners, influencing decisions, managing complex contracts, and helping to create a culture of innovation and continuous improvement across sustainability.

Our Customer First Behaviours

They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:

• Feel what customers feel: We step into our customers’ shoes, using their feedback and insights to empathise with them and to understand their needs, so that every decision we make starts and finishes with our customers in mind.
• Say it straight: We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think – we’re honest and direct with good intent, openly sharing diverse perspectives to reach the best conclusions and using language everyone can understand.
• Push for better: We don’t settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development.
• Get it done: We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes.

You can strengthen your application by showing how our customer first behaviours resonate with you, and where you may have already demonstrated these.
