Emma - Finance
My name's Emma, I'm a Lead Technician working in Financial Management. Within Financial Management we support the business areas. I look after the savings product and marketing division. What I love most about working in Financial Management is that you can move around fairly often and you get to learn lots of different things, and there are lots of prospects within the department. Yesterday I was working on stress testing for savings, so it's looking at the margin that we make within the products. The most challenging parts of my job is working with the business areas. At the moment we're working on plan and forecast which is quite challenging with the marketing department.
Finance is playing a vital role in transforming Nationwide. If the Group is to make informed strategic decisions at a time of ambitious change, then accurate financial forecasting, planning and reporting is critical. And the more its insights, analysis and expertise influence the direction of the business, the more successful Finance is seen to be.
Building constructive working relationships with internal business leaders and external regulators, Finance makes sure its reporting delivers the best outcome for members. Although professionals work across the UK, most are based in our main admin centres in Swindon, Northampton and Bournemouth.
