As part of a major transformation and migration programme, we’re looking for Financial Crime Analytics Consultants to help shape and deliver new reporting capabilities while ensuring our existing Management Information (MI) continues to run smoothly. Sitting within the Financial Crime MI & Reporting function, this role offers a blend of project‑led change and day‑to‑day reporting, giving you the chance to modernise reporting assets, strengthen data quality and controls, and maintain accurate, timely outputs throughout the transition.
You’ll bring sharp attention to detail, strong analytical judgement, and a developing understanding of data governance and control frameworks. Confident working with data in a fast‑moving environment, you’ll support the analysis of complex datasets and translate business needs into clear, meaningful reporting. Collaboration will be central, as you work closely with colleagues across Operations, Governance and the Second Line of Defence, gaining exposure to a wide range of stakeholders and deepening your experience in MI and reporting.
Your analytics expertise will underpin data testing, validation, and quality assurance, helping to build confidence in reporting during the migration. You’ll also play a key role in moving existing Excel‑based MI into Power BI, ensuring continuity of insight while supporting the adoption of modern tools and new ways of working. Strong analytical capability, clear communication, and the ability to stay organised and delivery‑focused in a changing environment will set you up for success in this role.
We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best.
This is a 12-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 spend at least two days per week, or if part-time, you'll spend 40% of your working time, based at either our Swindon, London, Northampton, Bournemouth, Dunfermline, Wakefield or Sheffield office. Whilst these locations are where we are primarily looking to fill the role, if you’re an internal applicant based in a different location, we would welcome your application, and if successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this could work for this specific role. 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.
ResponsibilitiesWhat you’ll be doing
In this role, you’ll support the team through multiple data migrations, helping to transition reports and MI into Power BI in line with agreed standards. You’ll build a strong understanding of existing data sources, legacy reporting, and current processes, translating them into refreshed or newly developed Power BI outputs. A key part of your work will involve carrying out data quality checks, testing, and validation to ensure that every migrated report is accurate, reliable, and aligned with business expectations.
You’ll help maintain timely and precise MI to meet Financial Crime reporting needs, covering both regulatory and internal requirements. As new tools, datasets, and ways of working are introduced, you’ll work closely with colleagues to resolve data or reporting issues and keep delivery on track. You’ll also contribute to change, risk, and data governance activities by following established frameworks, documentation standards, and control processes. Alongside this, you’ll support the assessment of data availability, identify potential gaps across project, ad hoc and regular reporting, and escalate concerns where needed to ensure reporting remains robust throughout the transition.
About you
As a minimum, you will have:
A proven ability to use SAS and SQL to interrogate large, complex datasets drawn from multiple sources, demonstrating confidence in managing and interpreting high‑volume information
Experience working with Power BI or a comparable visualisation tool, along with exposure to data migration activity and an interest in developing deeper expertise in this area
A solid understanding of data governance principles and data quality frameworks, with the awareness needed to support strong controls and reliable reporting
Background experience within Financial Services or another large, regulated, and operationally complex environment, enabling you to navigate risk, structure, and oversight with ease
Previous involvement in large‑scale data migration programmes would be a valuable advantage, bringing additional insight into the challenges and opportunities of transformation
