Business Intelligence Specialist (9-Month FTC)
APPLY HERE: Business Intelligence Specialist (9-Month FTC)
9-Month Fixed-term Contract
Data & Functions Technology Delivery exists to provide a broad range of data products to colleagues across the Society.
You will join a community of analytical practitioners whose collective role is to enhance value through data and helping
colleagues across the Society to unlock value by utilising your expert capability and skills. From a task perspective, you will be working in one of our Insight and Analytics teams, focussing on delivering shared outcomes that you have contributed to, bringing your insight development skills as part of a multi-skilled team.
We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best.
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.
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.
What you’ll be doing
- From a task perspective, you will be working on data from across the Society, focussing on delivering insights and user stories, bringing your analysis outputs to life with sound recommendations for action as part of a multi-skilled team.
- You’ll be able to identify opportunities to deliver ‘more’, where you may be working alongside others or on individual assignments and take ownership for ensuring things are done correctly.
- This could mean you apply your skills to supporting proposition development, unlocking insights to support Channel developments, or supporting resolution of Member operational incidents with auditable well controlled data.
About you
We’re looking for candidates that have experience within a reconciliation, data management or data insight environment.
As a minimum requirement you’ll:
- Have demonstratable programming experience using SAS, Teradata and/or SQL
- Ability to provide effective subject matter expertise to both internal and external stakeholders, translating technical detail into clear and concise messaging
- Be proactive, self sufficient and innovative with the ability to work in collaboration with a small number of analysts to deliver shared outcomes
- Have excellent communication skills and be good at building relationships across all 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.

- A personal pension – if you put in 7% of your salary, we’ll top up by a further 16%

Banking – but fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society
We forge our own path at Nationwide.
As a mutual, we’re owned by our members - those customers who bank, save or have a mortgage with us. We challenge the financial sector status quo. We don’t see customers as the engine of our own profit. We share our profits with them and put
their needs first. Always there when they need us. Supporting them and their lives. If you’re inspired by fairer finances, passionate about making a meaningful impact, and truly care about our customers, you’re one of us.
At Nationwide, you are challenged to grow and rewarded for doing so. Valued. Recognised. Inspired to be your best. As a community we want our working lives to count. As a team, we celebrate what we achieve. As a standard-setter, we work for the good of customers, communities, and broader society.
We are Purpose-driven. Uncompromisingly Customer. Unstoppably Nationwide.
