Description

As a Financial Crime - SAS/SQL Consultant in our award‑nominated Financial Crime Analytics team, celebrated for its positive, collaborative culture, you’ll play a key role in strengthening Nationwide’s defences against the evolving threat of financial crime. You’ll work with large, complex datasets and apply advanced analytical skills, using tools such as SAS or SQL, to identify unusual or suspicious activity, support money laundering compliance, and enhance the effectiveness of our core controls. You’ll bring confidence in navigating complex, financial, crime-specific data sources, structures, and behaviours, with the ability to translate this complexity into clear, meaningful outcomes. Your expertise will help us make smarter, data-led decisions and ensure our controls remain robust, efficient, and responsive to emerging risks. This role sits within Nationwide’s 1st line of defence (Economic Crime), where you’ll join the Transaction Monitoring function. You’ll contribute to the development, management, and continuous optimisation of transaction monitoring controls across our products, helping us use data intelligently and proactively to protect our members and maintain stringent regulatory compliance. We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best. This is a 12-month Fixed Term Contract. 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 be located at our nearest regional hub. There will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration events in one of our office sites. This is anticipated to be several times a year at one of our UK offices. 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.
