Financial Promotions Compliance Senior Consultant

This role sits within Group Customer & Communications; a critical area focused on delivering best-in-class financial promotions and advertising for our customers. You’ll join our central Financial Promotions team, helping to make sure promotional activity across Nationwide is engaging, customer-focused and meets regulatory requirements.

As a financial promotions subject matter expert, you’ll provide clear, pragmatic and solutions-based regulatory advice to colleagues across the organisation. You’ll use your detailed knowledge of financial promotions requirements to review and provide guidance on advertising and promotions, helping to ensure they are engaging, enable customers to make informed decisions and meet regulatory standards. Working closely with our marketing, digital, advertising, product, risk and legal teams, you’ll provide expert advice, offer constructive challenge and help drive consistently high standards across all promotional activity.

The working hours (per week) for this role can be between 28 and 35 hours.

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 role, you'll be based at your nearest regional office or hub. We value time spent together to connect with colleagues for collaboration so there will be a regular requirement to attend our Swindon or Bournemouth site approximately once per month. If you are based at an office location, you'll be expected to meet our hybrid working requirement of at least two days a week, or 40% of your working time if part-time, in the office. 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

Your day will be varied, working across advertising campaigns and product propositions covering Nationwide’s products and services. You’ll review and approve financial promotions across a range of channels, providing clear written and verbal advice and adapting your approach to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels. You’ll take ownership of complex or higher-risk work, balancing regulatory requirements with commercial and customer needs to provide proportionate challenge and practical, solutions-focused advice.

You’ll be part of a small, dedicated team of subject matter experts, working closely with our Risk colleagues. You’ll deliver training to build capability in financial promotions requirements, lead and support horizon scanning for regulatory developments, and help the organisation respond effectively to change. You’ll also contribute to continuous improvement by strengthening guidance, processes and approval standards across the team.

About you

As a minimum you’ll have

Proven experience of reviewing or approving financial promotions and advising stakeholders on financial promotions compliance, conduct risk and regulatory requirements

Detailed working knowledge of the FCA Handbook, particularly the financial promotions rules, and a good working knowledge of other applicable requirements, including the CAP and BCAP Codes and Consumer Duty

A strong understanding of current and emerging financial promotions regulatory developments.

Experience of influencing and advising stakeholders on regulatory and compliance requirements within a financial services environment

Experience of providing constructive challenge and escalating regulatory, compliance or conduct-related concerns when appropriate

Experience of managing competing priorities and delivering high-quality outcomes in a fast-paced, customer-focused environment

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.
