Lloyds Banking Group is one of the UK’s largest financial services organisations, with a heritage spanning over 325 years and a clear purpose:
Helping Britain Prosper. We serve more than 26 million customers and nearly one million businesses – playing a pivotal role in the UK economy and society by supporting households, businesses and communities to thrive.

Our policy work reflects this breadth of interests. We engage with politicians, policymakers and regulators on critical issues such as housing, infrastructure, agriculture and financial inclusion. From working directly with government to deliver new financing for social housing projects to partnering with devolved administrations and Mayoral Combined Authorities to unlock regional growth and investment, we bring evidence‑based ideas to the heart of policy discussions.

Joining us means working on policies that matter – making a real difference to communities in every part of the UK.

We’re looking for two outstanding policy professionals to join our Group Corporate Affairs function as Senior Policy Managers – widely recognised as one of the most effective and respected corporate affairs teams in the FTSE 100. This is a rare opportunity to help shape and deliver the future of public policy at Lloyds Banking Group, as we work more closely with national, regional and local governments across the UK to help Britain prosper.

These are senior‑level roles, ideal for people with deep experience in policy work. This experience can come from central, regional or local government, or a leading policy institution. Candidates should bring entrepreneurial spirit and emotional intelligence to navigate complex environments. They must combine evidence and innovative thinking to build real impact.

As part of this role, you’ll need to hold frequent in‑person visits to collaborators in Westminster.

• Lead strategic policy projects that support the Group’s purpose and commercial priorities, including areas with the direct interest of the bank’s CEO. You’ll have the accountability and autonomy to set direction in your work, develop new ideas, and innovate.

• Lead on, own and develop detailed, thoughtful and well‑evidenced policy positions in collaboration with senior colleagues across the Group, ensuring alignment with our broader public affairs strategy.

• Lead the development and delivery of cross‑Group influencing, advocacy and engagement strategies with senior collaborators across government, political parties, think tanks, trade bodies and civil society to build relationships and influence policy development.

• Produce high‑quality briefings and policy papers for senior leaders, including the Group Executive Committee and Board, to support effective political engagement – including on cross‑cutting and cross‑Group issues.

• Monitor and analyse political developments across Westminster, devolved administrations, and regional and local government, identifying opportunities and risks for the Group.

• Support the organisation and coordination of events with political collaborators, showcasing the Group’s work and thought leadership.
