Senior Risk Analyst - SAS Developer

We're looking for an experienced Statistical Analysis System (SAS) Developer to join our Decisioning Systems Assurance team.

This is a highly technical role focused on using SAS, data analysis and system investigation techniques to independently validate lending strategies, decision systems and customer outcomes across a range of lending products.

Working across both strategic change and live production environments, you'll identify defects, control weaknesses and data quality issues before they impact customers, operations or business outcomes.

You'll work closely with colleagues across Risk, Technology, Commercial and Systems teams, using your technical expertise to understand how complex decisioning platforms operate and providing independent challenge to ensure they perform as intended.

You'll also support assurance standards, governance activities, management reporting and stakeholder forums, while acting as deputy to the Manager when required to help coordinate assurance activity and support the team's effective operation.

This role would suit someone with strong SAS development background who enjoys solving complex problems, investigating system behaviour and working at the intersection of technology, data and risk.

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 located at our nearest regional office or hub.

There will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration and in some locations you’ll be expected to spend at least two days a week, or if part time you'll spend 40% of your working 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.
