About this opportunity
We're on an exciting journey and there couldn't be a better time to join us. We've put in place a fresh operating model for Non-Financial risk management across the Group, empowering our people to take end-to-end accountability for handling the risks that they face.
In second line we created teams of risk specialists within 'Customer & Product' to support and challenge the Group in how it handles its conduct risks so that we deliver great customer outcomes.
This Senior Manager will bring strong technical expertise in financial promotions and the broader regulatory communications environment that a modern, digitally enabled business like Lloyds Banking Group must navigate. They will be an innovative problem solver with a future-focused mindset-someone who not only shapes how compliance and business practices evolve to stay relevant but also sets the standard and brings a wide group of collaborators, serving diverse customer needs, on the journey. Strong policy writing and engagement skills will be a distinct advantage.
The perfect candidate will have second-line experience in both Financial Promotions and CMA, however, that perfect candidate may not exist so if you have strong second-line compliance or legal experience in communications risks, Financial Promotions or CMA compliance then we would love to hear from you. Don't discount yourself.

Ensure risks are measured, monitored, controlled, and reported on a timely basis and consistently across the Group, and provide independent challenge to risk decisions, as they relate to the specialism
-
Responsible for maintaining the balance between risk-taking and risk mitigation, defining and developing a clear and comprehensive risk appetite that outlines risk tolerances and risk limits supported by exceptional story telling
