Senior Change Lead

It’s an exciting time to be joining Group Customer & Communications (GCC) at Nationwide as we have an important journey ahead of us; both for our core Nationwide brand, as well as for the integration of Virgin Money.

As a Senior Change Lead you’ll provide experienced, flexible change leadership for complex and strategically significant assignments requiring dedicated senior oversight.

You’ll lead selected change initiatives characterised by significant complexity, risk, organisational impact or cross-functional dependency, taking direct accountability for successful delivery from mobilisation through to implementation and outcomes.

This role sits within the Group Customer & Communications Function at Nationwide. The function’s purpose is to understand our customers and design meaningful engagement opportunities, together with building compelling experiences and communications. Customer strategy, marketing, brand, website and legal, regulatory & mandatory communications all sit within GCC, alongside a focus on communities with our social impact agenda.

Working in GCC, you’ll be part of a Change Team who ensure programme deliverables are aligned with broader integration and Society plans; lead milestones through key stages, mobilise resource and unify project teams behind a common goal, outcome and shared programme plan. The key focus for this role is the integration change activity that’s owned by GCC to bring together the Nationwide and Virgin Money brands and 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 our Swindon, London or Bournemouth office. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.
