Job description
We are looking for a Senior Analyst with solid SAS expertise and a proven ability to transform complex data into clear, actionable insight. In this role, you’ll provide analysis across customer behaviour, market trends and product performance, while developing data solutions that support strategic priorities. You’ll work closely with stakeholders, presenting insight that informs decisions and shapes the direction of our products and propositions.
You’ll enjoy a role with real variety and autonomy, where no two days look alike. From deep‑dive analytical work to owning end‑to‑end projects, you’ll broaden your skills, explore new techniques, and make a visible impact across the organisation. This is an environment that encourages curiosity, independence, and continuous learning.
You’ll join the Retail Products team, supporting the banking and savings needs of more than 16 million members and commercial customers. Your insight will help shape propositions across current accounts, savings, credit cards and personal loans, ensuring we meet customer needs, reward loyalty, and support the long‑term sustainability of the business. If you’re motivated by meaningful analysis and the opportunity to influence real‑world outcomes, this role offers a place where your contribution truly counts.
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 Bournemouth 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
As a Senior Analyst you will be responsible for supporting key initiatives and will help drive the insights that will enable us to meet and exceed our business goals.
Furthermore, you will be working with our internal customers to understand their analytical requirements and using SAS to develop solutions which drive the strategy of the business. This includes developing an understanding of the portfolio dynamics and the customer base. The data you gather and the insights you generate along the way will prove invaluable not only to our immediate stakeholders, but to colleagues right across the business.
About you
As a minimum you’ll need to have:
Hands on experience using SAS Viya, Base SAS, or Enterprise Guide and be proficient in the use of Macros and SQL
Experience interpreting and correlating a wide range of business performance measures and presenting information to a senior audience in a logical and understandable way
Experience in delivering insights and analytics to stakeholders
The ability to build relationships across all levels
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.
The extras you’ll get
There are all sorts of employee benefits available at Nationwide, including:
25 days holiday, pro rata
Access to private medical insurance
A highly competitive pension to help you build a strong foundation for retirement
Access to an annual performance-related bonus
Training and development to help you progress your career
A great selection of additional benefits through our salary sacrifice scheme
Life assurance to provide peace of mind for you and your loved ones in the event of your death
Wellhub – access to a range of free and paid options for health and wellness
Up to 2 days of paid volunteering a year
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.
