Full Job Description

Treasury Senior Consultant (Balance Sheet Risk Frameworks)

Salary: From £65,000

As a member of the Treasury Framework team, you’ll be working in one or more of the following areas: liquidity and funding risk; capital risk; and Interest Rate Risk in the Banking Book (IRRBB).

You’ll be working alongside other Treasury colleagues and product teams to understand the impact of changes to Nationwide’s balance sheet and product proposition. You’ll be making recommendations to senior stakeholders on how Nationwide can offer the products its customers need whilst managing the associated financial risks.

You’ll also be supporting the delivery of key regulatory submissions such as the ILAAP or ICAAP, as well as having the opportunity to get involved in Nationwide’s stress testing and contingency planning.

The Framework & Modelling team are responsible for maintaining our risk frameworks and risk appetite across liquidity & funding risk, interest rate risk, capital risk and pension risk. This includes recommending risk appetite, the production of the ILAAP and ICAAP documents, and collaboration with other teams across the Society to interpret and implement new regulatory requirements. In a financial world that is evolving rapidly, we need to ensure we can keep pace with developments, both in terms of market dynamics and regulation, which requires a constant reassessment of our approach to risk management.

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, at one of our Swindon or London offices. 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

You’ll be responsible for identifying how financial risks could materialise and recommending ways for Nationwide to manage their potential impact.

Depending on your area of focus, this could be risks to Nationwide’s long-term stability from liquidity or capital risks; or risks from changes in interest rates.

You’ll be assessing developments, both external in terms of the economic environment and internal from product and proposition changes.

You’ll need to understand how changes could impact Nationwide’s financial risk profile leading to recommendations to senior management committees.

You’ll also be assessing new regulatory developments to ensure we can understand and manage the impact of changes.

A key part of your role will be building and maintaining relationships within Treasury and across the Society with the need to explain technical topics to a wide range of stakeholders.

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.
