About this opportunity

Lloyds Banking Group (LBG) is committed to playing a leading role in society, building stronger and more sustainable economies and communities in accordance with our purpose of Helping Britain Prosper. LBG’s Group Sustainable Business team sits at the centre of the organisation and plays an important role in converting our purpose ambitions into tangible outcomes which are critical to the delivery of LBG’s strategy and purpose. Within Group Sustainable Business, a new Solutions and Innovation team has been established. Working with cross Group business units and external partners, it aims to accelerate and scale further innovative initiatives that achieve an environmental or social impact as well as delivering commercial returns.

The Manager in our Solutions and Innovation team plays a pivotal role in realizing these ambitions! This is an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of pioneering and high-profile initiatives.

Examples of our recent purpose-led initiatives include:

  • A £500m financial guarantee programme with the National Wealth Fund to accelerate the retrofit of social housing in the UK
  • A £62m fund to help fund small businesses in low income regions through the provision of finance to Community Development Finance Institutions
  • LBG’s Social Housing Initiative.

You will help manage activity across LBG, and with external partners, related to the strategic design, development, test and mobilising of innovative solutions aligned to our environmental and societal ambitions.

As Manager, Solutions and Innovation, you’ll be:

  • Managing the day-to-day actions and plans required in the mobilisation of large scale signature projects and activities
  • Conducting high-quality research, gathering market insights and producing market analyses to support the evaluation of new innovative solutions and business opportunities
  • Building the commercial case for key projects, including working with partners to build a strong commercial narrative and quantitative approach to support the necessary approval processes
  • Writing and communicating executive level reports of options, findings and progress to keep stakeholders informed and to enable relevant decisions
  • Supporting engagement across the Group and with external partners on social and environmental projects
  • Keeping up to date with insights, innovation and technical advancements – both environmental and social

Individuals in this position have the chance to grow significantly, taking on more responsibilities and stepping into a leadership role in key projects.

What you’ll need:

We’re looking for a highly organised and driven individual that has the ability to work with multiple partners to input, shape and help mobilise solutions at pace that are focused on impact and tangible repeatable results that demonstrate positive returns. Is this you? If so, we want to hear from you!

We’re looking for someone who brings:

  • Proven experience in managing end to end delivery of multiple projects, identifying risks and achieving tight deadlines
  • Excellent appreciation of commercial and economic priorities and what matters most to LBG and business strategies
  • Experience of working with financial or economic issues in the UK or internationally. Familiarity with finance and banking in areas such as debt and structured commercial finance, novel financial instruments and consumer finance will be advantageous but not essential.
  • Effective stakeholder management and partnering skills in complex environments, with ability to build an extensive network of expert contributors and the credibility to represent the business externally
  • Evidence of supporting the development of new concepts that deliver increased value and meet client and customer needs
  • An understanding of evolving external trends and the ability to translate those into workable solutions
  • A track record of being proactive and resilient, able to deliver results in a dynamic and fast-paced working environment
  • A demonstrable personal commitment to creating positive economic, social and environmental impact.
