About us

If you think all banks are the same, you’d be wrong. We’re an innovative, fast-changing business that’s shaping finance as a force for good. A bank that’s empowering its people to innovate, explore possibilities and grow with purpose.

What you’ll need

We are looking for someone who understands data and has a grasp of how it is stored, how it moves around the Group and how it is used in business processes. You will have a talent for juggling multiple priorities, and thrive in a challenging environment, demonstrating your ability to collaborate, influence, and improve our ways of working.

You'll be confident and articulate, and will need to have:

• Business awareness and effective communication skills to work effectively with a variety of technical and non-technical colleagues, sometimes at a senior level
• Good technical understanding of LBG systems and data structures. An awareness of Collibra or strong willingness to learn how to use the tool
• Ability to obtain, arrange, process and document data to fulfil business objectives
• Ability to analyse data from multiple sources to draw conclusions and make informed recommendations
• Ability to explain complex concepts in an easy to understand way. Attention to detail and ability to think outside of the box, innovate and provide solutions to business problems
• Ability to take initiative, be bold and proactive in owning your work

What would be desirable (but not essential):

• Experience working in change background
• Ability to write and read basic queries in SQL (or a strong desire to learn it)
• Experience in using Ataccama

About working for us

Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms.

We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture.

We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative.

And it’s why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups.

We’re disability confident. So, if you’d like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
• An annual bonus award, subject to Group performance
• Share schemes including free shares
• Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping
• 28 days’ holiday, with bank holidays on top
• A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies
