Financial / Treasury Consultant – Capital Reporting & Forecasting, Nationwide House (Swindon) / 1 Threadneedle Street (London)

Description

Join our team at the core of Nationwide’s Treasury reporting function! As a key member of the capital reporting and forecasting team, you will play a crucial role in producing, distributing, and managing precise and timely capital-related reports for regulatory and risk management purposes. Additionally, you will contribute to forecasting the Society’s capital position, ensuring compliance with future regulatory capital requirements.

You will actively collaborate across the Finance Function and the broader business, requiring a proactive, self-motivated approach and a passion for learning. As a team player, you will excel in analysing and identifying trends, and you will confidently present clear, technical explanations to senior colleagues.

The team plays a pivotal role in the Society’s capital reporting and forecasting, influencing key decisions that shape Nationwide’s future. These reports enable senior leadership to ensure the Society maintains sufficient capital to meet board and regulatory requirements and are thus subject to rigorous scrutiny. In an ever-evolving regulatory and economic landscape, the team’s outputs are more critical than ever, driving both visibility and accountability.

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. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works. 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

In this role, you will produce and review reports that manage one of Nationwide’s most critical risks: capital risk. While you don't need to be an expert, a basic understanding of capital risk is necessary. This position offers a valuable opportunity to learn about managing the Society’s credit risk exposures and capital resources to ensure solvency and regulatory compliance.

Success requires a desire to work in a challenging yet rewarding environment, an inquisitive mindset, and a strong desire to learn. A genuine interest in financial markets and an understanding of how banks and building societies manage risk are essential. Additionally, knowledge of prudential reporting frameworks, such as Basel III, is preferential.

This role places you at the heart of Nationwide’s Treasury department, working closely with other Treasury areas. It is ideal for someone who thrives on challenges, possesses natural curiosity, and has a proven track record of delivering high-quality technical reporting.

About you

As a minimum requirement you’ll need to have:

Knowledge of prudential reporting frameworks (e.g. Basel III)
Some experience of Capital regulatory reporting (e.g. COREP Own Funds / RWAs / Leverage / Pillar 3)
Strong analytical ability and a proven track record of delivering to a high standard, on time
Attention to detail and an ability to review highly technical reporting to identify anomalies and discrepancies
Strong written and verbal communication skills with ability to present to senior management
Excellent Microsoft Excel skills, the ability to deliver end to end solutions, analyse complex data and understand its meaning

What makes us different

Nationwide is the world’s largest building society. With over 15 million customers, we have a relationship with almost a quarter of the UK’s population. We’ve got the scale to compete with the big banks, but we’re not a bank.

As a building society, we’re owned by our members – that’s our customers who have their current account, mortgage or savings with us. It means we can do things differently to deliver our Purpose – Banking – but fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society.

When you work at Nationwide, you can experience that difference for yourself. You’ll be part of a high-performing, purpose-driven organisation that offers rewarding career experiences and a highly competitive range of benefits to match. You’ll also be joining us at an important time as we seek to reach more and more people in the UK. We want everyone in the UK to know that they don’t have to bank with a bank. They can choose a modern mutual instead.
