At Nationwide ®, “on your side” goes beyond just words. Our customers are at the center of everything we do and we’re looking for associates who are passionate about delivering extraordinary care.

Serve as a trusted, credible advisor who connects and aligns risk partners across all three lines on AI risk matters. Support the operationalization of AI risk management through agentic AI — designing and building AI agents, automations, or purpose-built tooling that scale risk guidance and embed risk controls into practitioners' workflows.
