Job Description Summary

A new role within GIA Strategy Risk & Support, the Manager Insights Data Analytics role reflects an ongoing investment in data science tools and techniques by Group Internal Audit. The role holder will work closely with the Strategy, Risk & Operations leadership team and plays an integral role in enabling Group Internal Audits (GIA) to deliver a leading MI, reporting and insights capability.

Job Description

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

Our brands, our services and our business span every aspect of banking and finance, including some of the biggest names on the UK's high streets. That gives us a big responsibility to support the UK economy, with a clear strategy to put customers first - and achieve our vision of becoming the best bank for customers.

Working with other data colleagues, this role will contribute to the application of data analytics and advanced data science techniques to GIA’s own business processes and objectives (including the process of managing internal audits, operational and strategic reporting, insights generation and quality assurance). This includes data and MI visualisation and automation at the simpler end of the spectrum to advancing the use of machine learning, robotics, process mining and other tools to address business needs in GIA. You'll work closely with GIA’s Systems and Data colleagues, and GIA’s Audit Analytics team to ensure the technology roadmap for GIA incorporates appropriate tools and capabilities to support the data analytics and data science strategic priorities.

The role will mainly be hands-on delivery and creative problem solving, including the application of appropriate SDLC controls to our analytics tools development, and quality control within GIA’s data domain. However, the ability to see the bigger picture and think strategically will be needed to help senior colleagues in the wider team set out the analytics roadmap for the function. You'll work seamlessly with GIA’s Audit Analytics team to co-develop tools and utilities on our Audit Analytics & Reporting Platform (AARP), and with the Systems & Data and Atlas development team to support the controlled delivery of an integrated technology & data analytics capability for GIA.
