At Lloyds Banking Group, we have a clear purpose; to help Britain prosper.

You will be joining our Group Corporate Treasury (GCT) function, with its core purpose of arranging funding, liquidity, and capital as well as managing market risk for the Group.

What will you be doing?

Your role will be within the Business Transformation Team, part of GCT Finance and Reporting. Our purpose is to provide technical accounting guidance, valuable financial insights, and innovative solutions on ‘one-off complex transactions’, new products, and new business initiatives. We ensure that these are delivered in a governed and timely manner. Alongside this, we encourage and foster a continuous improvement culture throughout GCT.

Initially, your primary focus will be on one-off transactions, new products and new business initiatives with key accountabilities including:

  • Performing feasibility analysis over proposals from the business and collaborating with various teams to design innovative and efficient structures for transactions such as capital debt restructuring, securitisations, mergers, and acquisitions
  • Summarising statutory and management accounting impacts of ‘one-off complex transactions’ on the Group and at legal entity levels, both on a day one and ongoing basis
  • Analysing the hedge accounting impact of ‘one-off complex transactions’ and the impact on capacity in existing models
  • Understanding the operational booking approach and any limitations or challenges for new products or initiatives and supporting business SMEs in designing solutions
  • Assessing the level of governance required for the proposals and ensuring that we adhere to Group Minimum Standards
  • Preparing governance papers (including summary documents and detailed accounting analysis, hosting governance meetings to engage key business partners on a timely basis and obtaining approvals to support successful delivery

  • Selecting improvement options, prioritising the initiatives and providing implementation roadmaps for senior sponsors
  • Driving the continuous improvement culture, which may include rolling out LEAN training to colleagues across the department and empowering them to implement operational excellence initiatives

This role requires technical accounting and treasury expertise but is not driven by the usual month or year-end reporting cycle. The analysis you undertake on strategic transactions and initiatives will be extremely high profile, involve significant colleague interaction and your day-to-day role will benefit from a real breadth and variety!

  • Experience in preparing accounting papers or similar analysis
  • Experience of working in a controlled and governed manner
  • Great collaborative skills
