JOB TITLE: Workplace Design Manager: Office, Branch & Home (Future Workplace) (12-month FTC)

SALARY: £57,460 - £63,940

LOCATION(S): Leeds, Halifax, Bristol & Edinburgh

About this Opportunity

In this role you will help us shape the experiences our customers and colleagues have across our Branch, Office & Home environments. Future Workplace is a division within P&P responsible for designing the Future Workplace Experience for Lloyds Banking Group.

We are the Workplace Design; our job is to develop the purpose and vision for the Group’s property estate of the future. We translate strategy into colleague experiences; and we bring them to life through spatial and interior design.

You will lead propositional development, strategic direction of travel and work with stakeholders across the group to conceptualize change and new ways of doing things. A lot of this job is creative and innovative so you will be asked to think differently and push the boundaries of current experiences to build compelling new propositions and experiences. A big part of your job will be working with colleagues to gather requirements, validate requirements and play them back in a clear, concise and structured way.

Whilst the wider team is responsible for interior design, this role is more focused on experience design and strategic vision setting. We are looking for a human-centric design and strategic thinker who can marry corporate strategy and colleague insights to shape a brilliant experience that meets multiple different objectives.

Why Lloyds Banking Group?

We’re on an exciting journey to transform our Group and the way we’re shaping finance for good. We’re focusing on the future, investing in our technologies, workplaces, and colleagues to make our Group a great place for everyone. Including you.

• Human-centred design

• Listening & colleague insight

• Ability to turn data into insight to shape a strategy & direction of travel
