Senior Portfolio Lead - Customer

Swindon, United Kingdom
London, United Kingdom

It’s an exciting time to be joining Group Customer & Communications (GCC) at Nationwide as we have an important journey ahead of us; both for our core Nationwide brand, as well as for the integration of Virgin Money.

As an experienced change professional, used to shaping and executing large and complex portfolios of business change, you will be confident and proficient at leading through ambiguity and working with diverse groups of people to translate ideas and desired outcomes into tangible and executable packages of work.

Working in GCC, you’ll be part of a Change Team who ensure programme deliverables are aligned with broader integration and Society plans; lead milestones through key stages, mobilise resources and unify project teams behind a common goal, outcome and shared programme plan. This includes integration change activity that’s owned by GCC to bring together the Nationwide and Virgin Money brands and customers.

If you don’t have experience of portfolio management but are a Change Manager at the top of your game, we’re also recruiting for these skills within our growing team. Check out our vacancies website for more details.

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 or London office. Whilst these locations are where we are primarily looking to fill the role, if you’re an internal applicant based in a different location we would welcome your application and if successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this could work for this specific role. You can also find out more about our approach to hybrid working here .
