Job Description Summary
We have an opportunity for a Senior Policy professional to join us in our Group Corporate Affairs team in London. Our team shapes and coordinates our regulatory policy strategy and advocacy, working with colleagues across the group to provide constructive and timely input to the government and regulators. We’re looking for an enthusiastic expert and collaborative leader to join our team.
Day to day you’ll be:
- Providing regulatory policy leadership across Lloyds Banking Group on your portfolio, and advice and analysis for the executive of the UK’s largest retail and commercial bank. We expect this to focus on the consumer agenda, though the senior nature of the role will require an active interest to take opportunities to input across other regulatory topics.
- Acting as a partner and convener for senior leaders and key areas of the group to proactively define evidence-based policy priorities, create persuasive messages, and deliver them.
- Distilling complex regulatory policy into clear communications, policy positions and external regulatory input, together with monitoring and assessing regulatory developments and trends.
- Developing a strong network of external relationships to help maintain an effective flow of dialogue and information.
- Fostering an agile team of engaged, motivated professionals able to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment across a range of changing issues.
About us
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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
