Senior Analyst

Banking & Savings is at the heart of Nationwide: nearly £1 in every £10 saved in the UK is entrusted to us. As a Pricing Senior Analyst, you’ll be part of the team looking after the pricing, performance and planning for our millions of savings and current accounts. 

You’ll be getting to the story behind the numbers, part of our journey to understand not just how the money moves, but the market and customer dynamics that are driving this. We are an inclusive and supportive team, who are curious about the markets we operate in and passionate about meeting our members’ Banking & Savings needs. We play a pivotal role in ensuring the strong financial performance of our products to ensure that Nationwide is built to last. 

We’re always happy to support flexible working wherever we can. That might mean working from home part of the week (with at least 40% of your time in the Swindon or London office) or agreeing a working pattern to help you balance work and life. We will always strive to find a way that works for everyone. 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.

What you’ll be doing :

• Use internal and external information to build understanding and insight of current account performance and effectively communicate this to key stakeholders
• Use your commercial, numerical, and analytical skills to lead on the development of pricing proposals and operational forecasts
• Lead analysis to inform decisions that will play a vital role in maintaining the profitability and sustainability of one of the most important areas of our business

About you:

As a minimum you’ll need to have:

• Experience interpreting, manipulating and simplifying large datasets into digestible visuals and using complex formulae in Excel
• Strong PC skills (Intermediate Excel, PowerPoint, MS Suit,), technical aptitude (building spreadsheets, formulas) and experience in developing and maintaining analytics and reporting tools
• Stakeholder management: Experience of building relationships and communicating with confidence both in writing and verbally demonstrating a logical approach and an attention to detail
• Experience of leading and co-ordinating analytical pieces of work from initial brief to final recommendations
• Be able to respond to a fast-paced market dealing with conflicting priorities and keeping abreast with market trends and competition 

It would also be nice for you to have or be:

• A strong understanding of financial services with prior experience in pricing
• Experience using other analytic tools, particularly Power BI and/or Qliksense

Our customer first behaviours put customers and members at the heart of how we work together. 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.
