We’re looking for a Senior Analyst to join our Strategic Planning team in Insurance, Pensions & Investments (IP&I) to support planning our operational, customer facing teams. You’ll have good numeracy skills, be proactive, possess excellent accuracy and decision-making skills and be able to handle multiple deliverables whilst managing/meeting expectations.

This role is based in our Workforce Planning team which plays an important role in supporting the delivery of the Group’s purpose by ensuring the operational, customer facing teams have the right people, in the right place, at the right time, to deliver the best possible customer experience.

Our purpose is to influence efficient and effective customer experience through trusted judgement, analysis, and insight. Building relationships with internal customers and colleagues (operational leadership / finance / data and commercial teams) is key to our success along with the ability to ensure data driven forecasts and insights are accurate, clear, and appropriate.


Why Lloyds Banking Group

We’re on an exciting journey to transform our Group and the way we’re shaping finance for good.

We’re focusing on the future, investing in our technologies, workplaces, and colleagues to make our Group a great place for everyone. Including you.


What you’ll need

You’ll have a strong numeracy skill, be adaptable to change and have a desire to succeed in a new challenge. Good interpersonal, collaboration, organisational and communication skills are crucial along with the ability and drive to influence advocacy, confidence, and trust from our customers.

  • You’ll identify trends and analyse data to provide recommendations (including both commercial and operational data)

  • Completing ‘what if’ assessments to understand the impact of changing requirements upon the customer facing teams

  • Understanding movements in operational FTE, joiner/movers/leavers, and the impact this has on cost, budget and service

  • Simplify and translate sophisticated thoughts to engage a senior audience, both through written and verbal/face to face presentation

  • Leading meetings with various levels and groups of colleagues up to Head of Function level


And any experience of these would be really useful

  • Excellent Excel, Power BI, Power Query and PowerPoint skills (desired)

  • Knowledge of statistics & analytics and workforce planning

  • Analytical curiosity (interpret data and provide recommendations)

  • Strong collaboration and stakeholder management skills


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 performance-related bonus

• 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
