Our strategy is focused on delivering strong underwriting performance, operating an efficient and flexible marketplace, and maximising the capital advantage of the Lloyd’s market — while continuing to build a Lloyd’s we are proud of.

How we deliver this, matters. We take the risk, make things happen, and own the outcome — working together across our global network to turn insight into impact.

As
** Head of People**, you'll sit at the intersection of business strategy and people strategy. Working as a trusted strategic adviser to our Chief People Officer and Senior Executive leaders across the Corporation to drive the leadership, talent and organisational capability needed to deliver Lloyd's future ambitions.

You'll lead conversations around organisational effectiveness, leadership, skills, workforce planning and talent. You'll bring insight, challenge conventional thinking and translate ambitious goals into measurable outcomes.

And because of Lloyd's unique position at the centre of the insurance industry, you'll understand that building capability here can create a ripple effect far beyond our own organisation.
