Colleague Engagement Manager - Events

Are you an organised and energetic events professional who loves turning an idea into a brilliantly delivered experience? Can you manage the detail without losing sight of the audience and the purpose? Do you enjoy bringing people, suppliers and moving parts together to make sure everything works on the day?

We’re building a new Business Banking Engagement team to help bring our strategy to life for colleagues and customers.

As Colleague Engagement Manager, Events, you’ll support the planning and delivery of internal and customer events across Business Banking. You’ll manage logistics, coordinate stakeholders and suppliers, develop event content and help create experiences that leave colleagues and customers feeling informed, valued and connected.

This is a hands‑on role for someone who is equally comfortable building a detailed delivery plan, working with senior speakers and solving the inevitable last‑minute challenge.

The Business Banking Engagement team brings together communications, events, colleague engagement, culture and shared content capability.

The Events team will support a broad portfolio of activity, from colleague conferences and leadership events to customer round tables, sector events, relationship experiences and key business moments.

We want to move from individual, disconnected activity to a more coordinated events programme with clear objectives, consistent standards and a strong focus on the audience experience.

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 jobyou'llspend at least two days per week, or if parttimeyou'llspend 40% of your working time, based at either our Glasgow, Edinburgh, London or Northampton office.
Ifyou’rebased 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. Alternatively, you'll be located at our Edinburgh hub
