Senior Data Privacy Analyst

The data protection and privacy team aims to harness the value from its rich data assets without compromising the security of our customer and colleague data. We help deliver the innovative change agenda by providing SME oversight, advice, and guidance. Our goal is to ensure the business can process data fairly and ethically, building trust and enhancing good customer outcomes whilst also meeting our regulatory obligations.

We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best.
 

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

This is a 9-month Fixed Term Contract.

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 hub. There will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration events. This is anticipated to be once per quarter in Glasgow. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works. 

Virgin Money is now part of Nationwide

Nationwide acquired Virgin Money in October 2024. Virgin Money continues to serve customers on the high street, and there will be a phased and considered integration over the coming years.

You’ll be employed by Nationwide from day one, delivering real impact and benefitting from a highly competitive range of benefits. We’re a workplace where you’re rewarded, recognised and celebrated.

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

As a Data Privacy and Insights Analyst you will support a proactive data protection culture across the Bank, by analysing and creating core MI streams, identifying trends and privacy risk gaps. You’ll use your technical knowledge of Power BI, SharePoint, and Power Platform tools to build, simplify, and strengthen existing data privacy processes, ensuring these continue to meet our policy and technical standards.

You’ll help the Business complete its transformation agenda by supporting critical and complex integration change initiatives, encouraging and building a harmonised ‘group’ privacy by design and default approach, and regularly helping to enhance and maintain the reporting MI suite using Power BI dashboards and reports, providing insights into privacy risk compliance and reporting against our suite of key control indicators.
 

About you

For this role, you will have:

• Significant demonstrable experience of working with Power BI, SharePoint and other Power Platform tools to streamline privacy processes, reducing manual effort

• Good understanding of data protection, privacy, or risk management concepts, and how these translate into control governance and reporting

• An ability to analyse data, providing effective analysis and insights to influence and drive compliant decision-making

• Experience of communicating and presenting key messages to engage with people across all levels of the Group

• Strong analytical skills (possibly statistical analysis) and experience of interrogating large volumes of data to identify and report on risk trends

• Experience of prioritising competing tasks and working autonomously as part of a high-performing data-team

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.

Banking – but fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society

We forge our own path at Nationwide.

As a mutual, we’re owned by our members - those customers who bank, save or have a mortgage with us. We challenge the financial sector status quo. We don’t see customers as the engine of our own profit. We share our profits with them and put their needs first. Always there when they need us. Supporting them and their lives.

If you’re inspired by fairer finances, passionate about making a meaningful impact, and truly care about our customers, you’re one of us.

At Nationwide, you are challenged to grow and rewarded for doing so. Valued. Recognised. Inspired to be your best. As a community, we want our working lives to count. As a team, we celebrate what we achieve. As a standard-setter, we work for the good of customers, communities, and broader society.

We are purpose-driven. Uncompromisingly customer. Unstoppably Nationwide.
