  5. Data modelling and design - Designing and implementing data models and schemas to ensure efficient data storage, retrieval and interoperability
  6. Values - Forward-thinking, capable of delivering solutions that meet business and customer needs. An early adopter of change, driving organisational transformation at pace with a growth mindset
  7. Leadership - Foster an inclusive culture where everyone feels valued, irrespective of their background. Inspire others to achieve their full potential by demonstrating your experience to offer valuable insights, strategic guidance, and promote effective problem-solving
In addition, any experience of these would be useful:
  1. Experience in GCP services, including BigQuery, Data Fusion, Cloud Composer, IAM, and others
  2. Ability to define objectives and measure metrics
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:

Want to do amazing work, that's interesting and makes a difference to millions of people? Join our journey.

At Lloyds Banking Group, we're driven by a clear purpose; to help Britain prosper. Across the Group, our colleagues are focused on making a difference to customers, businesses and communities. With us you'll have a key role to play in shaping the financial services of the future, whilst the scale and reach of our Group means you'll have many opportunities to learn, grow and develop.

We keep your data safe. So, we'll only ever ask you to provide confidential or sensitive information once you have formally been invited along to an interview or accepted a verbal offer to join us which is when we run our background checks. We'll always explain what we need and why, with any request coming from a trusted Lloyds Banking Group person.

We're focused on creating a values-led culture and are committed to building a workforce which reflects the diversity of the customers and communities we serve.
