As a member of our Financial Crime Analytics team, you’ll be working hands-on to build and maintain our defences against the constant threat of financial crime. You’ll use your financial crime and/or technical background to ensure we identify potential criminal activity and comply with money laundering regulations whilst optimising the effectiveness and efficiency of key controls.
This role is within our first line financial crime analytics team and will see you specialise in AML transaction monitoring. The team’s aim is to protect the Society and our members from financial crime, ensuring we achieve regulatory and legal compliance in a way that optimises effectiveness and efficiency.
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 Swindon, London, Northampton, Bournemouth, Dunfermline, Sheffield or Wakefield office. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll be working with a team to support completion of the financial crime transaction monitoring risk assessment, develop transaction monitoring rules and deliver high quality analysis to tune thresholds. You’ll be responsible for completing rule performance reviews, and making the necessary rule logic and threshold amendments, to ensure Nationwide’s financial crime detection capabilities remain robust. You’ll be producing detailed documentation and using management information to support your analysis and substantiate key decisions in the rule management process. This documentation will be reviewed by your colleagues and by senior management to ensure financial crime risks are being managed appropriately.
You’ll work with large datasets, primarily using SQL to carry out your analysis. You’ll also need to understand the applicable financial crime typologies so you can design optimal solutions to identify these and be using your technical/analytical skills to identify new and emerging financial crime threats. You can learn these on the job or bring your experience from a previous role.
