Job description
-------------------
Join us as a Financial Crime Controls Consultant (FCC) within the growing Integration team in Fraud Operations, where you’ll help steer a pivotal phase of activity as multiple workstreams transition over the coming months. Your expertise will shape how integration unfolds across Fraud Operations and the wider Protect community, ensuring Nationwide remains resilient in safeguarding both the Society and our customers from fraud and financial crime. This is a rare opportunity to influence meaningful change at scale while contributing to a critical organisational transformation.
You’ll bring strong subject matter knowledge across diverse fraud typologies, ideally including experience handling Business Banking fraud claims within Virgin Money, alongside a solid understanding of relevant legislation, regulatory expectations, and effective control environments. Your ability to offer clear, balanced advice to senior stakeholders, operate confidently in complex and ambiguous situations, and apply sound judgement to risk, customer impact, and delivery pressures will be essential. Experience in policy, process, risk management, and project delivery will support you in guiding Fraud Operations through significant change.
Drawing on your insight, you’ll help inform risk assessments, capacity planning, and strategic decision making to support the successful integration of Virgin Money into Nationwide. This is a dynamic role where each day brings new challenges and opportunities to deliver high quality, well\-reasoned outputs at pace. If you thrive in fast moving environments and are motivated by work that creates tangible impact, this role offers an exciting chance to grow your career while making a genuine difference.
We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best.
This is a 18\-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 be assigned to our nearest regional hub. There will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration events in one of our office sites. 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
In this role, you’ll provide essential fraud operations expertise to support migration activity, working closely with teams across Nationwide to ensure integration is delivered safely, effectively, and with strong customer protections. You’ll help shape the design, review, and documentation of fraud processes for migrated products and new Business Banking offerings, ensuring they reflect robust controls and align with evolving organisational needs. Your insight will be central to identifying fraud risks, operational gaps, and dependencies linked to migration timelines and change delivery, enabling informed and timely decision making.
You’ll act as a trusted point of escalation for complex fraud‑related queries arising throughout migration and product implementation, applying sound judgement and deep operational understanding. Collaboration will be a key part of your day‑to‑day work, partnering with Change teams, Product colleagues, Technology teams, Workforce Planning, and Fraud Strategy to ensure fraud considerations are fully embedded within plans, requirements, and delivery artefacts. Your contribution will help maintain consistency in fraud standards, decisioning principles, and customer protections across both Virgin Money and Nationwide environments.
You’ll also play a key role in capturing lessons learned and operational insights, supporting continuous improvement, and strengthening future integration activity. This work will help shape how fraud operations evolve, ensuring the organisation remains resilient, well‑prepared, and aligned to best practice.
