Job description
At Nationwide we aim to get things right first time, but when something does go wrong, we pride ourselves in putting it right for our customers quickly and efficiently. As our name suggests, the Remediation Centre of Excellence is a specialised cross-community capability which rapidly assimilates knowledge and builds an understanding of emerging issues and incidents in order to plan and deliver the required remediation for impacted customers.
Are you meticulous and methodical when it comes to planning a new piece of work with multiple workstreams? Do you thrive under pressure working within a fast-paced and challenging environment? Do you have an interest in mitigating risks and issues for complex scenarios? Can you quickly build new strong and lasting relationships with stakeholders? Can you work with ambiguity? If so, then a Project Manager role in the Remediation Centre of Excellence could be for you!
This is a 12 month Fixed Term Contract opportunity.
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, Northampton or Dunfermline 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
This is an exciting opportunity within the Remediation Centre of Excellence – on a day-to-day basis you will own and support the management of Remediation projects through the full lifecycle from inception through to close-down. This will involve supporting scoping, planning, estimating, and delivering the change.
You will take responsibility for the delivery and management of successful Remediation projects against agreed delivery plan(s) to time and quality, managing workstream plans and supporting the Senior Delivery Manager. This will involve business readiness, control development, monitoring and implementation. You must be adept at working with ambiguity and delivering at pace, providing timely updates and reporting to the Programme Lead/Senior Delivery Manager on progress, updates to plans, slippage, risks and issues.
Working with multiple teams across Customer Resolutions, and regularly with our operational functions, you will show understanding of multiple dynamics. The projects you work on will range from the front door, to close down and continuous improvement activities and you’ll work so that the solutions linked to the remediation project are implemented to ensure they meet the needs of our customers.
Continuous improvement is a key part of our strategy; by identifying and implementing opportunities for improvement you will deliver business benefits and efficiencies, as well as pro-active identification, communication and resolution of risks and issues.
You will support the utilisation of the appropriate delivery methodology and production of collateral, and you will enable delivery of the defined outcomes. This role encompasses collaboration with colleagues across the organisation ensuring that work is delivered on time, to the required quality and aligning to the Remediation principles and governance framework.
About you
As a minimum, you must have:
Demonstratable experience of delivering remediation projects
Extensive knowledge of leading small/medium projects end-to-end from inception, through to benefits realisation, which have delivered measurable outcomes
Strong critical thinking capabilities, with the ability to comprehend and assimilate information rapidly, break down complex problems, and provide pragmatic solutions
Proven capability in building and leading high-performing teams either through direct or matrix teams, underpinned by strong influencing, negotiation and relationship management capabilities
Knowledge and experience of working with different change methodologies e.g. Agile and experience of robust governance and reporting frameworks
Proven experience of working with stakeholders at different levels including identifying, engaging, managing expectations and communicating with confidence
The confidence to challenge and influence where required including production of reporting up to Senior Leadership Team level
Our customer first behaviours put customers and members at the heart of how we work together. They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:
Feel what customers feel - We step into our customers’ shoes, using their feedback and insights to empathise with them and to understand their needs, so that every decision we make starts and finishes with our customers in mind
Say it straight - We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think – we’re honest and direct with good intent, openly sharing diverse perspectives to reach the best conclusions and using language everyone can understand
Push for better - We don’t settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development
Get it done - We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes
You can strengthen your application by showing how our customer first behaviours resonate with you, and where you may have already demonstrated these.

25 days holiday, pro rata

Banking – but fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society
We forge our own path at Nationwide.
As a mutual, we’re owned by our members - those customers who bank, save or have a mortgage with us. We challenge the financial sector status quo. We don’t see customers as the engine of our own profit. We share our profits with them and put their needs first. Always there when they need us. Supporting them and their lives.
If you’re inspired by fairer finances, passionate about making a meaningful impact, and truly care about our customers, you’re one of us.
At Nationwide, you are challenged to grow and rewarded for doing so. Valued. Recognised. Inspired to be your best. As a community we want our working lives to count. As a team, we celebrate what we achieve. As a standard-setter, we work for the good of customers, communities, and broader society.
We are purpose-driven. Uncompromisingly customer. Unstoppably Nationwide.
