About this opportunity

At LBG, we define behavioural risk as the habitual patterns of behaviour that may lead to future issues or poor outcomes for the group. Behavioural risk reviews aim to identify what is driving these patterns of behaviour, thereby enhancing preventative measures such as controls and policies.

Your role as a Behavioural Risk Analyst involves supporting the delivery of high-quality behavioural risk reviews based on your understanding of business strategy, behavioural drivers, and risks. This will involve conducting behavioural research and analysis to identify risks, develop improvement strategies, and support behavioural risk management efforts.

You’ll act as a proactive team member, with a growth mindset, positively contributing to the overall effectiveness and efficiency of the review. You’ll support the ongoing development and improvement of the wider function through a strategic and coordinated behavioural risk focus, and effective cross-function collaboration.

Day to day, you will:

• Support the delivery of applied social/behavioural research to identify and mitigate risk, considering various internal and external perspectives.  This may include:

• Developing high-quality research materials.

• Executing operational tasks, ensuring timely and accurate completion.

• Conducting research including literature reviews, interviews, focus groups, and observations, ensuring methodological rigour and attention to detail.

• Analysing qualitative and quantitative data.

• Reporting, presenting, and disseminating clear, concise, and actionable insights.

• Identifying key lessons and suggestions to support continuous improvement.

• Help senior colleagues to build meaningful stakeholder relationships.

• Suggest improvements in current compliance processes by being bold.

• Actively role model the Group’s values and behaviours.

• Proactively identify, address and drive personal development opportunities and create a positive learning culture based on effective coaching.

• Freely share insight and timely, direct, effective feedback that contributes to the success of the delivery plan and leaves a positive sustainable impact on the function.

• Support the development and validation of behavioural management actions using evidence-based practice and knowledge of effective behavioural interventions.

• Connect behavioural risk insights with Group and Business Unit strategy.

• Prioritise your own tasks to effectively deliver valuable results.
