Customer Relationships Manager (CRM) is an exciting, multi-skilled and customer focused role, where you’ll focus on developing more rewarding relationships by supporting our customers to access our products and services through a variety of ways. Having a flexible approach, helping our customers face-to-face in branch and supporting them remotely via the phone or by video call means you will be maximising your existing knowledge, whilst learning new skills.

This is a 12 month fixed term opportunity, working full time, 35 hours per week, Monday to Saturday and it is based at our Welwyn Garden City branch in Hertfordshire.

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.

If you’re a colleague on long term absence (for example, on parental leave) or a temporary worker, please use your personal email address to submit an application.

What you’ll be doing

Supporting our customers is at the heart of this role whether it’s via phone, video call or face to face. By using our range of products, services and propositions you’ll help to identify their needs and support them in accessing our product range. You’ll be able to answer a wide range of customer enquiries, including complex topics and referring customers to specialist advisers when you identify a need.

You’ll be an SME within your branch location, there to support colleagues with quality customer conversations. You’ll be available to support our vulnerable customers, using this specialist knowledge to be there for them when they need extra help.

Assisting our customers through all channels, you will develop skills to deliver the right outcomes for them, demonstrating a willingness to learn as you develop your understanding and skills across our non-advised product range. Being a good communicator is crucial, as you build a rapport with each customer to gain a better understanding of the different ways we can help them. By asking the right questions you’ll be able to discover the options open to them and explain our products and services in a way they understand. This is a fast paced and challenging role that we’re sure you will find rewarding.

You will have previous experience in identifying and meeting the needs of customers using your excellent knowledge of Nationwide’s products which are predominantly Credit Cards, Personal Loans, General Insurance and Current Accounts.

This role is jam-packed full of opportunities to use your existing knowledge and experience as well as benefiting from a comprehensive training and support package so you can grow and develop.

Relevant experience in addressing the needs of customers through skilful, principle-based sales processes and addressing holistic customer needs

Customer service skills in face to face, telephony or digital channels

Experience in a Financial Services or a Retail customer facing role

Excellent verbal and written communication skills with an ability to explain decisions confidently and clearly over the telephone and in writing

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.
