As a Senior Consultant – Manager Governance & Controls, you will play a central role in shaping and strengthening Governance and Reporting across the First‑Line Economic Crime function. You will interpret and apply complex requirements, with a particular focus on BCBS239, and help design governance structures that ensure the organisation meets its regulatory obligations with confidence and clarity.
In this position, you will take ownership of key elements of the Governance and Control Framework, offering challenge, guidance, and oversight to support continuous improvement. Additionally, you will lead a programme of work to bring NBS to a compliant position, drawing on strong organisational skills, sound judgement, and the ability to build trusted relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.
This role sits within the First‑Line Economic Crime function, which is dedicated to protecting Nationwide and its members from economic crime. You will be part of the wider Economic Crime Strategy team, working to ensure the function operates in line with policy, legal, and regulatory expectations while contributing to a culture of integrity, accountability, and collaboration.
This is an 18‑month Fixed Term Contract.
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 nearest regional hub. There will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration events in one of our office sites. This is anticipated to be once a month in one of our UK offices. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.
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.
In this role, you will help shape and maintain strong governance mechanisms that enable the organisation to detect, prevent, and disrupt economic crime. You will work closely with teams across the business to embed clear ownership of Economic Crime processes, ensuring they are well‑documented, well‑understood, and continually strengthened. You will also support colleagues in demonstrating compliance with internal policies and in delivering positive outcomes for customers, offering balanced challenge and practical guidance where needed. A key part of your work will involve developing high‑quality management information so that senior leaders have accurate and consistent insight into performance, risks, and emerging issues.
Alongside this, you will monitor the actions taken to resolve issues, ensuring there is clear accountability, realistic timelines, and appropriate documentation throughout. You may also be asked to deputise for senior management, which could involve participating in senior committees, leading meetings, and contributing to strategic projects. This provides the opportunity to influence decision‑making at a senior level and play an active role in shaping the future direction of the Economic Crime function.
