Financial Crime Controls Consultant

Join us as a Financial Crime Controls Consultant (FCCC) within the expanding Integration team in Financial Crime Operations. Integration activity is entering a critical phase, with several workstreams scheduled to migrate over the coming months. As an FCCC, you will play a pivotal role in shaping integration activity both within Financial Crime Operations and across Protect as a whole. This is a unique opportunity to make a tangible impact, ensuring Nationwide is well-positioned to protect both the Society and our customers from Financial Crime.

You will bring proven experience and subject matter expertise across multiple Financial Crime typologies. You will also have strong knowledge of relevant AML legislation, regulatory requirements, and the control environments needed to operate effectively within a successful Financial Crime function.

Drawing on your knowledge and experience, you will help inform risk assessments, capacity planning, strategic decision-making, and more, supporting the successful integration of Virgin Money into Nationwide.

This is a dynamic role where no two days are the same. If you thrive under pressure, enjoy producing high-quality, well-articulated outputs at pace, and are motivated by delivering impactful outcomes, this is an excellent opportunity to further develop your career while making a genuine difference.

This is an 18-month Fixed Term Contract opportunity.

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 office or hub. There will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration and in some locations you’ll be expected to spend at least two days a week, or if part time you'll spend 40% of your working time, in the office. 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.

What you’ll be doing

Provide Financial Crime operations expertise to migration activities, supporting wider Nationwide teams to deliver safe and effective integration across all workstreams, acting as SME for Financial Crime related queries.

Contribute to the design, review, and documentation of Financial Crime processes and procedures for migrated products and new Nationwide Business Banking offerings, ensuring Financial Crime considerations are embedded within plans, requirements, and delivery artefacts.

Support programme and BAU teams, including Change, Product, Technology, Workforce Planning, and Financial Crime Strategy, in operational readiness activities by identifying Financial Crime risks, gaps, and dependencies linked to migration timelines and change delivery.
 

About you

As a minimum, you’ll have:

• Proven experience in Financial Crime Operations

• Ability to apply Financial Crime expertise to change, migration, and business readiness activity

• Experience contributing to the design, refinement, or implementation of fraud processes, operating models, or decision frameworks

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:

• 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.

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.

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.
