Company Description


Life can sometimes be unpredictable, and it pays to plan ahead. Our aim at Legal & General Retail is to help our customers plan for the unexpected, achieve financial security for their tomorrow, and protect everything that's important to them. To better understand our customers and meet their needs, we've brought our protection, retirement income, savings, lending and advice, fintech and mortgage businesses under one umbrella. Created at the start of 2022 through the merging of our long-standing and trusted retail retirement and insurance businesses, we're a fast-growing division with big, customer-centred ambitions.


Job Description



We are currently recruiting for a Customer Service Leader to join our Underwriting team on a permanent basis. This is a hybrid role where you'll work 3 days from home and 2 days in our Cardiff office, Monday-Friday 9am-5pm.

We are looking for a strong people manager who has experience of managing technical or regulatory teams within a high paced operational environment.

  • Lead and develop a team to meet the needs and ensure fair treatment of customers, whilst delivering agreed business outcomes. Ensure that service levels are continually monitored and maintain appropriate resource to meet work priorities and customer demand.

Regularly review these areas, set training and improvement plans and targets as appropriate, in conjunction with the individual's needs.
  • Be accountable for all areas of process breakdown, regulatory breach and health & safety issues within the division, in order to protect L&G and relevant parties from unnecessary loss, by documenting and ensuring that the team fully understand and comply with all financial, regulatory and legislative controls. Identify, manage and report key risks and deliver controls, in line with the risk management framework, to minimise the impact on L&G.
