  • Attending and presenting at the audit committee and senior committees, providing clear insight on audit conclusions, risk themes, and remediation status.
  • Assessing whether significant risks are identified, escalated, and reported appropriately to the audit committee and executive management.
  • Leading, developing, and sustaining a high‑performing audit team with the required capability and expertise.
  • Contributing to the strategic development of the wider Group Audit function.
  • Maintaining open, constructive, and effective relationships with regulators, supporting appropriate information sharing in line with regulatory responsibilities.

  • Deep knowledge of Markets products, key risks, and regulatory requirements applied within a legal entity context.
  • Proven experience leading audit committee outputs end‑to‑end, delivering concise, judgement‑led narratives against competing priorities.
  • Strong collaboration and influence skills, building constructive relationships with senior stakeholders across functions and jurisdictions.
  • Leadership capability: setting expectations, leading with confidence and authority, coordinating teams across functions while keeping accountability.
  • High standards of conduct, integrity, and professionalism aligned to Lloyds values, with knowledge of governance and regulatory expectations.
  • Clear, confident, concise communication, engaging effectively in formal governance settings and producing board‑ready outputs.

Relevant, transferable experience is also encouraged.
