ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY 

We’re transforming the way we deliver and run technology here at Lloyds Banking Group. We’re developing creative solutions, adopting innovative technologies, and moving fast to better serve our customers. 

To do this safely, our technology must be highly resilient, available and responsive. It needs to recover quickly when things go wrong, and we must understand any weak points so we can address them rapidly and effectively. 

This means managing technology risk in a clearer, smarter and more proactive way. We want technology risk to be described in the right language, owned by the right people, and surfaced in the right decision making forums. We want to move beyond process and help leaders truly understand the real world impact of technology risk on our customers. 

We’re using operational data to understand our risk position in real-time and track how our exposure is changing. And as we adopt new, exciting technologies, we’re ensuring robust technical guardrails are in place making it easy for engineers to do the right thing, and harder to do the wrong thing.

WHAT YOU’LL GET IN RETURN 

We want you to feel supported, empowered and able to shape your own future. You’ll experience a collaborative, inclusive culture that values ideas, experimentation and continuous learning.
