It is an exciting time to join the team as we are embarking on a significant uplift in our personalised marketing capability with a multiyear programme of investment in people, data, and technology.

A key enabler for delivering a truly personalised experience for our customers is ensuring we have the right marketing consents in place. We are committed to making sure that all of our customers have been given the opportunity to freely choose if they want to hear from us, and how.

You will play a core role in the development of our Consent Strategy, supporting initiatives that increase our ability to reach customers across all our engagement channels. You will help unlock our capability to use data in new and innovative ways to create exceptional personalised experiences. You will support the Consent Manager in setting the team up for success, analysing and reporting on progress, reviewing and improving our processes across both human and digital channels, and ensuring we have the correct frameworks in place to provide consistently excellent customer experiences.

You will be fundamental in supporting the whole Personalisation and Performance Marketing team to reach its ambitious shared goals. Increasing our marketing reach is the foundation that will empower our squads to deliver highly personalised, creative and engaging campaigns for more and more of our customers.

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. Whilst these locations are where we are primarily looking to fill the role, if you’re an internal applicant based in a different location we would welcome your application and if successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this could work for this specific role. If you're based outside of Swindon there will be a need to travel to the Swindon office on a quarterly basis for collaboration with colleagues. 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.

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
