Senior Business Intelligence Consultant (Senior Insight Consultant)

Nationwide Building Society; London; Hybrid; GBP 40,000 - 80,000

Job description

Data & Functions Technology Delivery exists to provide a broad range of data products to colleagues across the Society. We require an expert Senior Insight Consultant to develop and deliver insights and stories that support proposition development and problem resolution, as part of that team.

You will be part of 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 Analytics teams, focussing on delivering shared outcomes that you have helped prioritise in collaboration with the business areas you help to support.

You will be expected to provide technical leadership, coaching, and mentoring to colleagues across the wider team to help grow collective capability in your core area of expertise.

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, London, or Northampton 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

This means that your consulting, business engagement and stakeholder management expertise is as strong as your technical capability. We’re looking for someone who can determine the right statistical methods to apply across the data estate to deliver insightful outcomes, while ensuring communication with business users and colleague expectation is managed along the delivery journey.

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. We expect you to lead and coach others by sharing your opinion and technical knowledge across the Society at every opportunity.

About you

We are looking for someone with experience within an analytics or insight environment. As a minimum requirement you’ll:

• Have experience reading and writing complex SQL or SAS code using Base SAS or Enterprise Guide, delivering outputs in complex multi-source data solutions.
• Excellent communication skills providing highly-effective subject matter expertise to both internal and external stakeholders, translating complex data findings to easily consumable stories that drive action.
• Experience of supporting those around you through line management, and coaching and mentoring experienced analysts within a fast paced environment.

Our Customer First behaviours are all about putting customers and members at the heart of how we work together. You can strengthen your application by showing the behaviours that resonate with you, and how you might have already demonstrated these.

• Say it straight - This is about being honest and direct with good intent and saying what needs to be said in the room. It’s also about being clear, precise, and using language that we and, importantly, our customers and members can understand.
• Push for better - This is about aiming high and constantly looking for better in how we work together and serve our customers and members.
• Get it done - This is about prioritising what will have the greatest impact, being decisive and taking accountability for delivering on the end-to-end outcome.

We know applying for jobs can sometimes feel like you’re sending an application into a black hole. We review each application individually. So, it’s a good idea to call out your most relevant experience on your application to give yourself the best chance.

The extras you’ll get

There are all sorts of employee benefits available at Nationwide, including:

• A personal pension – if you put in 7% of your salary, we’ll top up by a further 16%
• Up to 2 days of paid volunteering a year
• Life assurance worth 8x your salary
• A great selection of additional benefits through our salary sacrifice scheme
• Wellhub – Access to a range of free and paid options for health and wellness.
• Access to an annual performance related bonus
• Access to training to help you develop and progress your career
• 25 days holiday, pro rata

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.
