If you’re motivated by creating clarity, strengthening controls, and protecting customers, this role puts you right at the heart of it. We’re looking for someone to shape and document a robust Economic Crime Risk Management Framework, setting out clear accountabilities, delegated responsibilities, service levels, and the monitoring that keeps our defences strong.
As part of our First Line Economic Crime function, you’ll play a vital role in safeguarding Nationwide and its members from economic crime, ensuring we operate with confidence and integrity. You’ll also be part of our wider Governance, Risk and Control team — a group dedicated to making sure we meet our legal and regulatory obligations while enabling the function to work effectively and responsibly. It’s a chance to build something meaningful, influence how we manage risk, and make a real impact across the organisation.
This is a 6-month Fixed-Term Contract opportunity.
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 assigned to 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 quarterly. 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.

You will gain endorsement of the ECRMF from key stakeholders and approval by the function’s leader. Finally, you will be responsible for creating a mechanism for the ongoing maintenance of the ECRMF.
