About this opportunity

We're looking for a Skills Product Owner to join our People Platform at Lloyds Banking Group; a team that combines the best of customer-centricity, product obsession and agile delivery across our People Technology landscape.

From how you experience Lloyds as a candidate, to how you thrive through moments of learning, engagement and recognition with the business, our People Platform is focused on enhancing experiences across the end-to-end colleague lifecycle through the use of technology.

A pivotal role within the Platform, our Skills Product Owner is accountable for delivering the best colleague and organisational impact through technology-led change in service of our ambition to become a skills-based organization.

This role will focus on the capability arena, developing a deep understanding of our skills ambition and technology landscape, to form and deliver a prioritised backlog in partnership with their Feature Team and the capability centre of expertise. With the scale of our ambition in the skills space, the role will need to harness insights and innovation to support a truly differentiated colleague experience in this space.

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.

What you'll need

• You'll be energised by and have experience of seeing through the design and delivery of impactful, customer-led technology innovation in the capability arena.
• A passion for working with people - you will be working with colleagues from different areas across the business and several external partners, as well as engaging and leading a multi-discipline Feature Team.
• Experience of working within an agile environment; you've defined and delivered key outcomes with a lens of customer and value obsession, prioritising within your team's capacity. You have previously applied agile methodologies to optimise innovation development and delivery.
• Experience building a high performing team environment. You'll inspire focus and delivery, whilst encouraging and developing confidence and trust.
• An ability to articulate business value through the work that you deliver.

And any experience of these would be useful:

• HR technology transformation utilising modern data and technology solutions e.g. Workday, ServiceNow and Microsoft.
• Experience of using agile tooling e.g. JIRA & Confluence, and experience of leading & working as part of an agile team within HR technology / process landscape.
• Design Thinking experience.
• Multi-sector experience.

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
• 30 days' holiday, with bank holidays on top
• A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies
