SALARY: £57,546 - £75,780

LOCATION(S): Flexible

HOURS: Full Time

WORKING PATTERN: Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time, at one of our office sites

Do you want to be part of the Group Environmental Sustainability team (GES) and help drive forward the Group’s overall environmental sustainability strategy, including the ambition to work with our customers, Government and the market to help reduce the emissions we finance by more than 50 per cent by 2030!

Why Lloyds Banking Group

We’re on an exciting journey to transform our Group and the way we’re shaping finance for good. We’re focusing on the future, investing in our technologies, workplaces, and colleagues to make our Group a great place for everyone. Including you.

Within GES we have an exciting opportunity to join our Environmental Sustainability Centre of Excellence as a Manager.

You'll be in a specialist team responsible for shaping our environmental sustainability transition planning, measurement and reporting activity across the Group, including helping to refine the positions we take in our external sector statements in line with industry needs and best practice.

You’ll work with a broad range of colleagues to help us respond effectively to evolving science and external expectations by staying involved with key industry initiatives and bringing insights back to the Group.

Working here offers...

• An outstanding opportunity to showcase your talent and accelerate a career within the Group!
• A chance to join a team that works in a variety of flexible ways. We adopt a truly inclusive culture and value diversity to help continuously drive us forward
• Regular learning and development. Whether it’s learning about new guidance and regulation, business priorities, the science of sustainability, or new areas of the Group, we ensure colleagues grow in their understanding
• Regular social team interactions to encourage work across the team and build great working relationships

What will I be doing?

The Manager must be passionate about environmental sustainability and helping us to build on the progress the Group has made to date.

You’ll support the evolution and enhancements to our environmental sustainability measurements and transition planning approaches across the Group and the positions we take in priority sectors which are considered to be at increased risk from the impacts of climate change. This will take into account emerging guidance and requirements that are evolving at pace. You’ll also support our responses to key climate and environmental surveys that required coordination of Group wide inputs to ensure cohesive and accurate responses..

This role provides a great opportunity to continue to build on your detailed environmental sustainability knowledge, as well as how it applies to financial services and what we as a Group need to focus on to improve our transition planning, measurement and reporting.

In this role you'll need to support and collaborate with colleagues to:

• Support the development of environmental sustainability measurement, transition planning and reporting activity across the Group, working closely with relevant divisional teams as an SME as standards and guidance evolves
• Work closely with the GES nature team to understand how to understand implications and interdependencies of nature for transition planning and reporting
• Engage, as appropriate, in leading industry initiatives on transition planning and reporting (e.g., GFANZ, CDP, UK TPT, etc.)
• Build and maintain your environmental sustainability knowledge and how sustainability issues impact the Group, along with a view of how competitors are progressing
• Coordinate Group responses and input for key external climate surveys and benchmarks (e.g., CDP)
• Build and deliver compelling storyboards to provide updates to senior executives on progress and prioritisation of key activities

What we’ll need from you (skills and experience):

Essential:

• Understanding of environmental sustainability issues and their impact on businesses in a number of sectors
• Understanding of emerging transition planning approaches and common environmental surveys relevant to financial institutions
• Ability to collaborate across a wide range of colleagues to develop cohesive plans and outputs and effectively establish relationships
• Ability to support delivery of concurrent high-profile projects and tasks while handling complexity, maintaining attention to detail and working at pace
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to generate innovative ideas and solutions to challenge the status quo
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, tailoring approach to the needs of different audiences

Desired:

• Understanding of adaptation and circular economy challenges, along with emerging systems thinking approaches for environmental issues
• An understanding of emerging transition finance principles and approaches to developing industry standards
