Competitive salary and benefits

We’re the world’s biggest building society and in today’s economic climate, our reputation for being open, honest and trustworthy is benefiting our customers. Nationwide offers a complete range of financial services to 13 million customers and our business is underpinned by a commercial operation that’s keenly competitive and constantly evolving. Right now, right across our business, we’re aiming higher, thinking smarter and acting faster than ever before, and we’re looking for people who have the talent and drive to boost our performance still further.
The Retail Credit Risk area within Nationwide Building Society is responsible for defining and managing lending policy, supported by rigorous analysis to ensure that lending policy balances volumes, risk and reward effectively.
As part of the expanding role and importance of risk management, the Retail Operational Modelling team is seeking to recruit talented statistical and mathematical modellers who can demonstrate commercial nous and good team skills in their careers to date.

You will be joining a diverse team. Our Risk team includes people with backgrounds in Maths, Stats, Engineering, Science, Operational Research Finance and Economics.
The roles will involve you in the design, development and maintenance of risk models across the lifecycle of a product (i.e. from application through to collections). Our team is responsible for both the Secured (Prime and Buy to Let Mortgages) and Unsecured (Credit Card, Personal Loan and Current Account) portfolios, ensuring that models used in critical business decisions are performing in line with business expectations.
