This is anticipated to be once a month in either London or Swindon. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.

What you'll be doing

You will be responsible for providing leadership of economic crime advisory activities and for supporting and implementing the strategy through which economic crime risk and compliance obligations are delivered across Nationwide. This includes developing the advisory and oversight approach to the new corporate criminal offence of Failure to Prevent Fraud.

You will, with the support of your team, deliver deep, expert advice, oversight, support and challenge on how Nationwide designs and operates critical processes and controls to ensure risks, issues and non-compliance are reported, escalated and governed through robust mitigation plans.

You will, with your team, support the roll out, socialisation and impact assessment of updates to the Economic Crime Policy and Minimum Controls Standards.

Using your leadership skills, you will support your teams' personal development to help them realise their potential, as well as supporting in the leadership of the Advisory and Oversight team.

About you

At minimum you will have:

Theoretical and practical knowledge and experience in managing economic crime risk, specifically focused on bribery & corruption, facilitation of tax evasion, failure to prevent fraud and internal fraud. This includes an understanding of related UK legislation, regulation, and industry best practice and developments in this area.

Strong understanding of risk management principles and practices and the design of effective controls, including how technology, and people can be deployed to manage economic crime risk.

Confidence working with people at all levels and building relationships with senior leaders and their teams.

Strong communication and networking skills, both written and verbal, with ability to influence and negotiate and learn new information quickly and to seek further guidance when required.

Finally, and importantly, experience of people leadership with the ability to coach, train and motivate SMEs to set and achieve targets and high-performance levels.

Our customer first behaviours put customers and members at the heart of how we work together. They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:

Feel what customers feel - We step into our customers' shoes, using their feedback and insights to empathise with them and to understand their needs, so that every decision we make starts and finishes with our customers in mind.

Say it straight - We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think - we're honest and direct with good intent, openly sharing diverse perspectives to reach the best conclusions and using language everyone can understand.

Push for better - We don't settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development.

Get it done - We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes.

You can strengthen your application by showing how our customer first behaviours resonate with you, and where you may have already demonstrated these.
