We're looking for a Finance professional who is comfortable in working in a fast paced & changing environment and is able to support delivery of solutions to urgent ad hoc queries and requests from stakeholders.

 

A common claim made about the Product Control role is that no two days are ever the same. Whilst some days can be very similar there are always new issues to investigate and resolve, regardless of how long you have been in the role. An interest in and aptitude for problem solving will take you a long way.

 

Your key accountabilities will include:

 

* Preparation of daily / weekly P&L production, reconciliations, risk attribution and explain market based commentary, signoffs, issue resolution and escalation and end of day Market Data.

* Supporting the month end close processes associated with correctly reporting and independently validating the bank's balance sheet in a timely manner, including but not limited to reserves / adjustments.

* Preparation of analysis and in-depth commentary and in-depth P&L commentary tied to market / product / coverage context and balance sheet reconciliation and commentary etc.

* Supporting a robust control framework for all processes within remit.

* Undertaking ad hoc work and investigation arising from stakeholder requests.

* Supporting agreed funded and unfunded projects.

* Supporting delivery of efficiencies and culture of continuous improvement.

* Establishing and building relationships with stakeholders.

* Active participation in resource sharing.

 

Ideally you'll be qualified and /or studying for a professional finance qualification, and have a proven track record supporting financial reporting. You'll also need to be able to use and manipulate spreadsheets, produce formatted charts and use advanced formulae and pivot tables.

 

You'll need to demonstrate an understanding of financial systems and processes, as well as commercial awareness of the market and industry environment.

 

A strong customer focus, and strong communication and presentation skills are also essential.

 

Knowledge of Investment Banking products and product control would be highly advantageous.

 

So, do you want to work for one of the UK's largest Financial Services organisations?

 

Lloyds Banking Group is committed to building a workforce which reflects the diversity of the customers and communities we serve, and to building an inclusive environment where all our colleagues can be themselves and succeed on merit. We support the principles of agile working and are happy to consider flexible working arrangements. We're an equal opportunity employer and deeply value diversity within our organisation.

 

As well as a competitive salary, this role offers:

Company

We’re creating an organisation that attracts, retains and develops the best talent in the industry, and one that openly embraces diversity too. But more than that – we want to be a great place to work. We invest in our people, offering the best training and coaching, and by encouraging them to contribute to our leading corporate and social responsibility practices. We offer flexible working hours and days, under our Work Options scheme. This means that you can have a challenging and rewarding career, and still have an ideal work/life balance.

Flexible working is at the heart of our strategy. We’re re-imagining where, when, and how our people work, with new approaches designed to meet the ever-changing needs of customers and colleagues. These include increasing our use of remote-working tools and technology, as well as placing less reliance on a 9-to-5 mindset. For many of our office-based colleagues, we work in hybrid ways which involves spending at least two days per week or 40% of their time at one of our office sites.
