About this opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen within CIB Corporate Credit – Industry Sectors (focus on Services and Public Sector) for a Credit Officer to play a key role in delivering high-quality, transaction-focused credit execution in support of Lloyds Banking Group’s CIB growth ambitions.
This role sits at the heart of the credit execution lifecycle, providing robust credit analysis and timely risk insight to support new-to-bank transactions, new facilities and material increases across the Corporate Credit – Industry Sectors. Working closely with Coverage, Product Partners, and senior credit colleagues, you will help enable sustainable growth while ensuring alignment to the Bank’s risk appetite, credit standards, and regulatory obligations.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Deliver high-quality credit analysis and written recommendations to support new transactions and increased facility requests across the Corporate Industry Sectors.
- Act as a trusted credit business partner to Coverage and Product teams, supporting transaction execution through informed challenge and constructive risk insight.
- Contribute to out-of-cycle credit requests and events, applying judgement and pace in dynamic, time-sensitive situations.
- Build and maintain sector knowledge within defined sub-sectors, helping define sector appetite, and contributing insight to sector deep-dives, Enterprise Credit Risk (ECR) requests and thematic reviews.
- Support effective risk stewardship, including emerging risk identification and escalation, watchlist input, as well as engagement with audit or review activity where required.
- Collaborate with colleagues across CIB Corporate Credit, including offshore and centralised teams, to support strong data quality, portfolio hygiene, and efficient execution.
- Play an active role in the evolution of credit execution, embracing process improvement, digital tools, and the adoption of AI to enhance effectiveness and consistency.
- Support the development of colleagues through coaching, knowledge-sharing and informal leadership (with line management responsibility depending on team structure).
- Sanctioning/approving credit proposals applying expert judgement thoughtfully and carefully within your delegated credit authority.
