System Data & Change Consultant

With the integration of Nationwide and Virgin Money there has never been a more exciting time to work in regulatory change at the society. We’re looking for someone to support the Scrum Master on the delivery of our Data Lake programme. This is an opportunity to join a growing team delivering strategic data and reporting capabilities that support important business and regulatory outcomes.

You'll work closely with Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Business Analysts, Developers, Testers and stakeholders across Finance, Data, Technology and Change.

We're looking for someone who is organised, proactive, and passionate about making a positive impact. You'll be a good communicator with stakeholder management skills, capable of building relationships across a wide range of teams. As a self-motivated individual, you'll take pride in your work, confidently coordinate activity, and work collaboratively to overcome challenges and remove blockers. An inquisitive nature, growth mindset, and eagerness to learn will help you thrive in this role and deliver real value to the business.

The team works under an agile framework, focussing on 2-week sprints where each team member delivers value towards the overall project goals. The team works across multiple deliverables covering regulatory reporting and strategic data lake work and upcoming Virgin Money integration activities. We support all reporting across the Finance function.

In this role you’ll get to experience how regulatory-driven changes impact our Financial Risk categories and our Society-wide reporting. You’ll establish strong relationships with key stakeholders across the entire organisation.

We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best.
 

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 or Glasgow office. If you’re based at our Glasgow office, this will apply from 1 April 2027 and ahead of that there will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration events. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works. 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.

What you’ll be doing

As part of the Reporting Change Team, you will play a role in delivering change initiatives that support Finance's strategic vision for reporting. Working in a collaborative environment, you will support the delivery of Data Lake features, reporting requirements, and platform enhancements, helping to drive value across the organisation.

In this role, you will support Agile ceremonies, including daily stand-ups and retrospectives, while working closely with Finance, Data Engineering, Technology, and Change teams to coordinate activity and manage cross-team dependencies. You will assist in maintaining delivery plans and tracking actions, risks, issues, and decisions to ensure successful project outcomes.

Building strong relationships across Finance and the wider Society will be essential, as will your ability to support continuous improvement by helping the team enhance its ways of working and deliver more effectively.

As this is a newly created role, we're looking for someone who is adaptable, proactive, and comfortable working in an evolving environment. You will be a self-starter with a flexible approach, keen to take ownership, learn quickly, and contribute to shaping the role as it develops.
