Job Description

At Lloyds Banking Group, we’re driven by a clear purpose - to help Britain prosper. Across the Group, our colleagues are focused on making a difference to customers, businesses and communities.

Could you help us make this possible?

Who are we and what we do?

No day in Conduct, Compliance and Operational Risk is the same. We engage right across the Group, advising on ways to improve how we keep the bank safe, delight our customers and Help Britain Prosper. We work closely as a collaborative team looking at different areas of the Bank and analysing data to help our teams and businesses improve.

Being a diverse group of people, from many different backgrounds, we celebrate our differences. We also share a common vision to offer new insight, support, and challenge to senior management.

It’s no surprise then that we are looking for people who are up for challenge, have drive for improving the business and themselves, love learning and are flexible. Your experience will be invaluable to us, whether it is already in a risk and compliance role, a technology change role or both! In return, you can expect to get great development opportunities, be empowered to try new ways of working in a diverse growing team, and an opportunity to work across the Bank.

Does this sound like your kind of place?

So, we're looking for someone who:

• Has a thirst to improve yourself, embrace new challenges and work flexibly. You maintain an understanding of technology innovation as it emerges and evolves.
• Can lead a team of risk and technology professionals with diverse skills and experience. Optimally managing resource and delivery plans, and working collaboratively across the Risk Division. You are also an inspiring, motivational, and empowering coach, mentoring and constantly developing your team’s capabilities!
• Loves to use data to assess how the Group manages the risks from IT change, challenging and advising on decision making. Taking a forward view of how decisions on introduction of new technologies into the Bank can improve the effectiveness of risk management. Of particular interest is public cloud adoption, in a hybrid cloud environment.
• Is recognised by peers as a highly capable technology subject matter expert, and has strong practical experience of leading or providing oversight of IT change delivery. Having a clear understanding of the business context of Technology Change and how this supports the delivery of business strategy.
• Understands what good risk management looks like and can clearly opine on its adoption in a technology context, using excellent communication and influencing skills, at all levels up to and including the Board.

So what can we offer you in return? 

Whatever your aspiration, you can also expect excellent benefits, personal development and a career that’s enriching and full of opportunity. 

You'll also receive a package that includes:

• Discretionary bonus
• Cash sum of 4% which you can exchange for a variety of benefits or simply take the cash 
• Private Medical Insurance 
• Pension, where we'll give up to a max of 15% 
• Share plans 
• 30 days holiday (plus Public)
