About this Opportunity

Group Finance is central to Lloyds Banking Group and data is a key enabler to satisfying the needs of our internal and external customers. The Data Analytics team, within the Finance Platform, are empowering our customers through trusted data.

Opportunities are emerging around us. Business Intelligence is evolving – from reports to dashboards, and now the new game changer - Generative Business Intelligence!

The Data Analytics team works with end users across Finance to understand their data needs to support the business. We take their questions and provide answers in the form of amazing analysis, inventive data manipulations and logic, followed by clear data outputs – reports, dashboards or data storytelling.

Our customers’ needs are diverse and wide. We support Finance across all of the Bank business Divisions. Consequently, we could use data from any system, for any product, and for any customer.We’re closely involved in the move to Google Cloud Platform and the construct of Data Products to control the data.

We source, prepare and output the data. Where we’d previously have used a visualisation tool – Tableau or Power BI – we’re exploring how we can set up Gen BI to enable users to ‘ask questions’ to get their answers. This role helps the team establish and grow this capability, whilst still protecting the reporting we already have and the customers that serves.

Are you passionate about the power to be sparked when combining data and analytics? Want to join a team that role models diversity, collaboration, a curious approach, and will be bold as we transform data across Finance? If so, read on!

You may work on this as a mini squad or on your own.At some points in the month you’ll support regular BAU data activities.

You’ll liaise directly with identified customers to satisfy their requirements. You’ll likely work with other teams – whether that’s the Engagement team to provide progress updates, Data Management to help keep our data safe, or Data Engineering to support with any data you need.

You’ll create some data magic to delight and inform your customer. You’ll bring the data to life; creating intuitive stories, adding valuable insight, aiding their own jobs with new perspectives into their data.

You’ll take responsibility for your own personal growth, building your skills, and being part of a strong team. We’ll support you too with any training, support, mentoring or guidance you need.You’ll also help make Finance Platform a fantastic place to work – supporting our agenda on inclusion, growth and having fun.

What you’ll need

Strong Teamwork – you’ll be part of a group of highly capable data professionals. You’ll often work together to support each other or just show each other what you’ve been working on.You’ll complete work that’s tasked to you and be on hand to help others as they need it. Your skills and experience may lead you to informal coaching and training within the team too.

• The team will work across multiple work tasks simultaneously. You’ll play your part by providing progress updates using JIRA and following an agile methodology.

Background in data – you’ll ‘get’ data, likely having progressed through various data roles through your career. You’ll understand the opportunities that strong data-led insight provides, but also the challenges of getting the right data, of good quality and providing automated solutions that deliver insight and flexibility to its users.

• You’ll work with customers to mature their requirements and then build great data products to drive insight. The team have recently worked on a project to look at the transaction flows of Retail customers between the Personal Current Accounts and their Savings products – both within LBG and to wider banks. They’ve then used visualisations to bring intuitive insight to this complex data set.

Fantastic stakeholder skills – you’ll be comfortable liaising with customers and building new relationships across Finance. You’ll be bold to face into new challenges using new data sets and covering new topics – because your strengths are transferable data skills.

• You’ll have a proven track record of broad, trusted stakeholder relationships. The work of the team could be to any of the three main customer divisions – Consumer, Insurance or Corporate – or to one of the Central Finance teams.

You’ll grow to understand the structure of Lloyds Banking Group and the role of Finance within it. You’ll look for new opportunities to use data and data tools to their best advantage.And you’ll be hungry to learn and develop yourself.

• You’ll have experience working on transformation projects or bringing new technology into your team. Our LBG General Ledger is migrating from SAP to Oracle, and the bank has a strategy to move most of our data for insight to a single Cloud platform.

Super values and behaviours – and all the time you’ll show great values and behaviours – incorporating the Lloyds Banking Group Values of being Bold, Trust, People First, Inclusive and keeping Sustainability at the forefront of all we do.
