As a member of our Financial Crime Analytics team, you’ll be working hands-on to build and maintain our defences against the constant threat of financial crime. You’ll use your strong analytics and coding skills to ensure our systems are correctly identifying potential criminal activity and complying with money laundering regulations whilst developing your own financial crime expertise.
At Nationwide we openly put our 15 million members at the centre of every decision we make as a business. Every role, no matter what it’s doing, is member focused.
This role is within our first line financial crime analytics team and will see you specialise in AML transaction monitoring. The team’s aim is to protect the Society and our members from financial crime, ensuring we achieve regulatory and legal compliance in a way that optimises effectiveness and efficiency.
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.

You’ll be responsible for completing rule performance reviews, and making the necessary rule logic and threshold amendments, to ensure Nationwide’s financial crime detection capabilities remain robust. You’ll be producing detailed documentation and using management information to support your analysis and substantiate key decisions in the rule management process. This documentation will be reviewed by your colleagues and by senior management to ensure financial crime risks are being managed appropriately. You’ll work with large datasets, primarily using SAS to carry out your analysis.
