Front Line Managernew

 

As a Front Line Manager, you will be responsible for managing a team and supporting them to deliver the best performance possible by monitoring core Key Performance Indicators and enabling your team to meet these and constantly strive to improve to deliver the best possible experience for our members and maximise our commercial growth. 

 

This role is within the Business Banking Operations Onboarding team which is responsible for managing customer applications by completing appropriate due diligence checks for business current account and deposit products whilst also delivering a simply brilliant experience to ensure our customers have the best possible onboarding experience.

 

The team operates from Monday to Sunday, so you may need to occasionally work weekends to support business requirements. 

 

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 role, you'll be based at your nearest regional office or hub. We value time spent together to connect with colleagues for collaboration so there will be a regular requirement to attend our site Glasgow or Edinburgh office approximately twice a per week. If you are based at an office location, you'll be expected to meet our hybrid working requirement of at least two days a week, or 40% of your working time if part-time, in the office. If you’re based at our Glasgow office, this will apply from 1 April 2027 and ahead of that there will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration events. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.

You’ll also be completing other people-related activities such as return to works, managing conduct issues, and performance management in line with our HR policies.

 

This is a brilliant role to build and develop your people leader experience whilst shaping a culture that drives our colleagues to perform the best each day for our members.

• 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

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

 

We forge our own path at Nationwide.

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