Financial Crime Analytics Consultant

As a Financial Crime Analytics Consultant, you’ll play a key role in protecting Nationwide and its members by helping to prevent and detect fraud and scams across our portfolio. Joining a high-performing Fraud Analytics team, you’ll work with colleagues and stakeholders from across the business to enhance our fraud detection capabilities, optimise prevention systems, develop new detection rules, and continuously monitor and improve existing controls.

We're looking for someone with experience using SQL, SAS or similar coding languages within a financial services environment, alongside a background in Economic Crime, Fraud, or Anti-Money Laundering. You’ll bring strong analytical skills, including advanced Excel knowledge, a deep understanding of fraud and scam typologies, and insight into payment processes. Just as importantly, you’ll be a collaborative and curious individual who enjoys working with others, embraces new challenges, and is motivated to learn, grow, and make a meaningful impact within our Economic Crime function and the wider business.

We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best.
This is an 18-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 role, you'll be based at your nearest regional office or hub. We value time spent together to connect with colleagues for collaboration so there will be a regular requirement to attend our Swindon site approximately once a quarter
. If you are based at an office location, you'll be expected to meet our hybrid working requirement of at least two days a week, or 40% of your working time if part-time, in the 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.

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.
