Systems Data & Change Manager – Axiom Projects

We’re creating a dedicated projects role within the Axiom team to strengthen our capacity to deliver new regulatory reporting solutions and platform enhancements. You’ll work across Finance, Treasury and technology teams to translate complex requirements into clear, tested solutions and manage their transition into business-as-usual operation.

This hands-on role combines change delivery, business analysis and testing. Working closely with developers, reporting specialists and business stakeholders, you’ll help deliver solutions that support accurate and timely regulatory reporting, resolve delivery issues and ensure new capabilities are ready for live operation.

This role is for an experienced and passionate individual who excels in analysing complex and technical regulatory requirements and has experience in delivering projects from start to finish.

Working across FC&O (Future Capabilities and Operations), Treasury and Finance, you’ll help improve regulatory reporting processes and deliver solutions that meet business needs and can be supported effectively in live operation.

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.

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 office. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works. You can also find out more about our approach to hybrid working here.

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. You can also find out more about our approach to hybrid working here.

Nationwide is committed to the redeployment of our employees impacted by change, as such applications for redeployment candidates will be prioritised in this recruitment process.

What you’ll be doing

This is a hands-on change delivery role, combining project coordination, business analysis and testing to deliver new regulatory reporting solutions in Axiom.

You’ll coordinate the delivery of Axiom change, translating regulatory and business needs into documented requirements and acceptance criteria, while maintaining delivery plans, milestones, dependencies, risks and issues.

Working closely with developers and reporting teams, you’ll agree practical solutions and resolve delivery questions. You’ll plan and coordinate testing, investigate defects and retain evidence against agreed acceptance criteria, as well as coordinate release readiness, business approvals and implementation through the applicable change controls.

Before operational handover, you’ll ensure documentation, support arrangements and knowledge transfer are in place. You’ll also identify and assess opportunities to extend Axiom’s use, setting out clear benefits and agreeing priorities.

As a minimum you’ll have:

• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience of testing complex regulatory reporting solutions, data mappings and reporting outputs
• A proven track record of delivering high-quality regulatory change to demanding submission deadlines
• Great written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to interpret and communicate complex regulatory and technical requirements
• The ability to effectively prioritise a wide range of regulatory changes, taxonomy releases, reporting defects and delivery initiatives
• In-depth knowledge and practical experience of Axiom, including the configuration, testing and implementation of regulatory reporting solutions
• A well-developed experience of regulatory reporting taxonomies, including interpreting taxonomy changes, data point requirements, validation rules and their impact on regulatory returns
• Experience of XBRL/iXBRL or XML-based regulatory submissions, including investigating and resolving schema and validation failures
• A solid understanding of the end-to-end regulatory reporting lifecycle, from regulatory requirement and data sourcing through to testing, validation and submission

• 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.
