We’re looking for a Senior Operations Analyst to help shape how our teams operate, bringing structure, insight, and clarity to a fast-paced environment. If you enjoy working at the centre of a team, using data to drive decisions and improving how things run day-to-day, this could be the role for you. 

  

Who Are We? 

  

Not just another building society. Not just another job. 

  

We're the fourth biggest building society in the UK and what makes us a bit different is that we're a mutual organisation. We don't have shareholders; we're owned by our members.

You’ll be involved in a wide range of activities—from coordinating operational rhythms and reporting, to supporting projects, engagement initiatives, and continuous improvements. The role offers great exposure across the business and the opportunity to influence how teams work, collaborate, and deliver outcomes.
