The way we manage risk is incredibly important to the success of Nationwide. After all, our mutual status means it has a direct impact on each and every one of our members. So as a Senior Risk Analyst here, it's true to say you'll have a tremendously influential role to play.

About the role

Working within our Retail Credit Risk department's Specialist Portfolio Management team, you'll be responsible for the development, production and implementation of monthly reports, management information and in-depth analyses with accuracy underpinning the results. You'll be utilising the operational and behavioural credit models to provide business insight into all aspects of the credit risk lifecycle from application, completion, arrears and repossession management to a wide range of audiences.

Depending on the audience - be it Specialist Lending's own Credit Quality Committee, the Group's Risk Committee or Finance team, or externally to the FSA or CML - the information you provide could include anything from straightforward financial returns, official arrears and repossession figures or ad-hoc analytic investigations of abnormal trends.

Whilst providing the analytical and reporting data, you'll also be engaging with the Specialist Lending division to support product owners and key business stakeholders within the credit and business committees through the formulation of credit policy and strategy papers.

But in this senior Risk role, the challenge doesn't end there. You'll also be involved with leading the analytical projects, mentoring junior team members and working closely with the data warehouse and modelling teams to improve data, reporting and modelling capabilities.
