You will be working on the regulatory reporting and implementation of models covering Treasury and Financial Reporting. This is more than just a technical role - it’s your chance to drive innovation, future-proof critical systems, and make a real impact on how we make business decisions.

As a Senior Finance Analyst - SAS Developer, you’ll be a key player in building and maintaining robust systems and reporting tools that support strategic decision-making across the business.

What you’ll be doing

You will be supporting the development and enhancement of Finance reporting systems, ensuring accuracy, resilience, and efficiency while acting as technical support on high-impact projects, using your SAS expertise to deliver smart, scalable solutions.

While collaborating across Finance and Treasury teams to support business growth and transformation, you will work in an Agile environment, contributing to migration and integration projects, and support BAU processes, gaining visibility across the business, with insights into both customer and funding operations.

About you

You’re someone who is keen to apply their programming skills in a financial environment and likes to get a deep understanding of a problem and come up with creative but practical solutions. You enjoy working collaboratively and are always looking for ways to improve and innovate.

For this role, we are looking for someone who has: 

• A background in a numerical or logical field (e.g., Finance, Mathematics, Engineering)
• Well-developed SAS programming skills (Base SAS, Enterprise Guide and DI Studio)

• Experience working with large, complex datasets
• Familiarity with either financial or regulatory reporting
• Excellent communication skills - able to explain complex ideas clearly and simply, engaging stakeholders across the business

• 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.
