Job description

We're heavily investing in our propositions team, which will design how we show up in market, offer our best to customers, and deliver valuable experiences which people use, love, and want more of. This work is the purest expression of our purpose to make finance a force for good. And that's why we need someone special.

At Lloyds, we 're big on working together - so we want someone who is open, collaborative, and has the maturity to understand your org chart is not the be all and end all. We're after someone who has enough drive to make a difference, enough insight to influence, and enough smiles to bring people with them and have fun with their work. If you want to work with people that are diverse, driven, and different, then you might be who we're looking for.

The role:

You are passionate about the big events in customer's lives, understanding that these moments started long before they happen. Whether it is around helping buying your first home, having a child, starting a new job, losing a job, getting married or divorced or preparing for the next phase in your life; you are deeply empathetic and understand that these life moments come with financial choices. You understand the functional, emotional, and social needs underpinning these life moments. Life-moment propositions are here to bring support, optionality and confidence despite the fact life throws us surprises. They focus on individual life stage needs but you understand the strength of connection between families means there are more often a set of connected jobs

across life stages.

You will manage teams who design, deliver, and run customer propositions. You will be able to connect product propositions, journeys and experience into meaningful solutions throughout the customer's journey often spanning months or years. Through agile management they connect internal and external teams to achieve customer proposition design ambitions. Your team will work closely with our product teams who lead on the supporting product propositions and our digital and distribution teams who lead on the customer experience. This

role reports into the MD Customer Propositions and plays a crucial role in moving towards integrated, multiproduct customer propositions.

• Ownership of a dynamic proposition's backlog which aims to solve for prioritised customer jobs to be done and solve for (unmet) needs

Required capabilities:

We'll be looking for these skills and experiences. But we know careers, like life, don't always go in a straight line. So, if you don't have some of these but think you've got what it takes, get in touch. We're hiring for attitude, experience, and expertise in equal measure.

• You'll be bold. We don't think banking should be bland, so we want our propositions to stand out like a flamboyance of flamingos. Therefore you'll be willing to think different. You may have deep financial services expertise, but we're also open to people with fresh thinking born from other industries.
• You'll constructively challenge: We believe the highest form of commitment is to try and make something better, because we care. Therefor constructive challenge is key. We need someone who can call out mediocre, make things better, but do this in a way that motivates, inspires and energises.
• You'll be a relationship builder. We get up in the morning to build relationships with our customers that will generate long-term value for our business. We therefore need someone who sees customers as more than numbers, but real people in the real world, just like us, who we must understand, serve and make happy.

About working for us...

Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity, or culture.

We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, build a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative. And it's why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups. We're disability confident. So, if you'd like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.

Our continued commitment to helping Britain prosper means that as a colleague you can make a difference to customers, businesses, and communities.

Together we have a key role to play in shaping the bank of the future, whilst the scale and reach of our Group means you'll continue to have opportunities to learn, grow and develop.

We're focused on creating a values-led culture, and our approach to inclusion and diversity means that we all have the opportunity to make a real difference, together.

As part of the Group's commitments as a result of ring-fencing legislation, colleagues based in the Islands are required to be exclusively dedicated to the non-ring-fenced bank and its subsidiaries. This means that colleagues who are based in the Islands would not be able to undertake roles for the Ring-Fenced Bank from their existing location and would need to consider relocation when applying for roles.]]>
