About this role

If you're passionate about being part of a diverse organization that enables a Fortune 100 company with nearly $70 billion in annual sales to deliver innovative business solutions with excellence, then Nationwide's Legal team could be the place for you! 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.

This role is ideally based in Columbus, Ohio and operates in a hybrid work environment. While local candidates are preferred, highly qualified candidates with the desired skills and experience will also be considered for remote employment.

Beyond coordinating corporate citizenship programs and providing operational and reporting support, this role will help advance how Nationwide measures, communicates, and maximizes the impact of its community investments. The ideal candidate brings experience in impact measurement, program evaluation, and data storytelling, with the ability to integrate quantitative and qualitative information from community partners, business data, and other sources into clear, decision-ready insights. Success in this role requires a strategic, consultative partner who can connect community outcomes to enterprise priorities, translate complex analysis into recommendations for senior leaders, support multi-market initiatives, and strengthen internal and external narratives about the value created for communities, associates, customers, and Nationwide.   What the role entails • Evolve the team from activity-based reporting toward outcome- and impact-oriented decision-making. • Lead or help shape an impact measurement and analytics strategy for Corporate Citizenship and the Nationwide Foundation. • Integrate data from community partners, business sources, and qualitative insights to create a more complete evidence base. • Translate analysis into practical recommendations that inform investment priorities, partnerships, and leadership decisions. • Help connect community outcomes to enterprise priorities such as associate engagement, brand, and long-term value. • Equip Corporate Citizenship leaders and consultants with actionable insights and strengthen internal and external storytelling. • Operate as a cross-functional, multi-market resource in a lean team where this integrative capability is not currently dedicated elsewhere.

  Unique skills and experiences to spotlight The current description already emphasizes project management, communications, data reporting, budgeting, financial analysis, problem-solving, and the ability to lead projects. The addendum should spotlight the following differentiators: • Experience designing or applying impact measurement frameworks, program evaluation methods, or outcome metrics. • Ability to combine quantitative and qualitative information and turn it into a coherent point of view. • Advanced analytical judgment: knowing which data matters, identifying limitations, and developing insights that support forward-looking decisions. • Data storytelling skills, including the ability to make complex findings accessible and compelling for executive, employee, community, and external audiences. • Experience translating community or social-impact results into business-relevant insights, including connections to brand, engagement, reputation, or long-term enterprise value. • Consultative influence with senior leaders and the ability to make clear, evidence-based recommendations. • Experience working across functions, markets, community partners, and other stakeholders to align data, strategy, and action. • Comfort creating structure, processes, and new approaches in an evolving environment without requiring close supervision.

  Most important success factors for the team • Strategic integration: Moves beyond compiling reports to synthesize evidence and clarify what it means for investment and partnership decisions. • Executive influence: Communicates concise, credible recommendations that leaders can act on, including in senior leadership and Board-level discussions. • Analytical rigor: Builds confidence in the quality, relevance, and limitations of impact data. • Enterprise perspective: Connects community impact to Nationwide’s broader priorities while preserving the authenticity of the community story. • Collaborative leadership: Enables consultants, senior consultants, leaders, and partners with insights they can use. • Initiative and adaptability: Establishes a sustainable capability in a lean team and successfully navigates ambiguity, changing priorities, and incomplete information.
