What your day looks like:

Together, you discuss upcoming initiatives, growth stories, and essential communication opportunities from across Lloyds Banking Group. You feel encouraged as you share ideas and insights, knowing that your contributions will help shape impactful narratives for our customers and stakeholders.

Next, you dive into crafting an engaging agenda for an internal broadcast. You collaborate closely with leaders, understanding their vision and translating it into a captivating storyline. With your excellent attention to detail, you ensure that the flow of the broadcast is flawless, mentoring speakers on their presentation style and incorporating visual elements that enhance their delivery.

In the afternoon, you meet with a key stakeholder to discuss their media plan for a new partnership that offers a leading consumer proposition for Halifax, Lloyds Bank and Bank of Scotland customers. With your inquisitive nature, you ask thought-provoking questions that uncover their objectives, desired outcomes, and overarching business aims. Armed with this information, you collaborate with the Group Corporate Affairs media relations team to develop a communication plan that not only delivers strong media coverage but also aligns with the strategic vision and the Group’s customer-centric approach.

Throughout the day, you engage with cross-functional teams, including creative agencies and technical experts, to ensure the smooth execution of projects.

As the day winds down, you take a moment to reflect on the impact of your work. You feel a sense of fulfilment knowing that your creativity, organisational skills, and passion for storytelling have helped craft compelling narratives that resonate with our audience and elevate our brand.

As a small team with a broad and ranging remit, there will be lots of opportunities for stretch and development.
