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.

We're looking for capable, articulate and motivated individuals with a strong technology background and a passion for making complex systems safer, more resilient and easier to operate.

This role is aimed at technologists, not traditional risk consultants. You'll thrive here if you:

• Understand how technology is engineered, operated and changed.
• Enjoy translating complex technical risks into simple, actionable insight.
• Want to shape how a major UK bank manages technology risk at enterprise scale.
• Care deeply about building resilient systems that work reliably for millions of customers.

• Strong operational experience in IT systems risk within complex or financial environments.
• A solid grasp of technology risk, with the ability to assess risk, design controls, shape policy and balance risk and reward.

Practical expertise in areas such as:

• Mobile application engineering and security
• Distributed network design and resilience
• Or broad exposure across asset management, service management, cloud, Dev Ops, engineering, resilience, networking, storage, operating systems, virtualisation and containerisation.
• Curiosity about emerging technologies including AI, Distributed Ledger and Quantum - and how they reshape risk.

• Deep understanding of operational risk frameworks, regulations and industry standards.
• Experience setting Group level policy, defining risk appetite and monitoring exposure.
• Ability to interpret complex information, identify trends and make clear recommendations.
• Forward looking insight into new regulation, emerging risks and evolving technology.
• Proven experience partnering across Risk Owners, Control Owners and Control Offices.
• Strong awareness of roles across the three lines of defence, acting as a trusted Operational Risk expert.
• Ability to shape data led control objectives and engage confidently with regulators.
• A collaborative leader who can coach, influence and connect risk thinking to long term business goals.

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. You'll also receive:

• A performance-based share bonus
• Consolidated flex cash in your salary
• Private health cover
• Access to a range of share schemes including free shares
