JOB TITLE: Core Data Manager (12-month FTC)

SALARY: £65,385 - £72,650

LOCATION: Bristol

HOURS: Full-time

WORKING PATTERN: Our work style is hybrid, which involves spending at least two days per week, or 40% of our time, at one of our office sites.

About this opportunity

We’re the UK’s biggest digital bank, with over 18 million online customers. But there’s still so much more we want to achieve. Data represents a critical part of our business and our vision for the future. We’re investing more than £3bn into our people, technology and data to ensure we can make a real, positive impact to millions of customers, businesses and communities, today and tomorrow.

Group Finance is central to Lloyds Banking Group and data is a key enabler in satisfying the needs of our internal and external customers. The Finance Analytics & Data Office (FDAO) is a Centre of Excellence of Data encompassing activities across Data Engineering, Data Management & Culture, Data Science and Reporting with a purpose to Empower through Trusted Data. We're evolving our data & analytics offering, our ethos, and our capability to craft a truly data-led organisation which is at the heart of the Finance Strategy.

We'd love you to come and join us here in the BAU Core Data team – a part of the Finance Business Unit Data Office (BUDO) within the Finance Data & Analytics Office! 

The BAU Core Data Team manages Metadata and Data Lineage for the Finance Business Unit.

The role will involve engaging and closely collaborating with our diverse group of partners across Finance and the wider organisation, to bring them on the journey of understanding our most important processes and reports and document the Metadata around them – for example, which Systems, Critical Data Elements and Controls the processes use.

This enables us to build Data Lineage – a map of how our data flows through our systems and what data is consumed at each step.  This gives the Finance Business Unit confidence that we understand where our most important data comes from and how it is controlled.

You’ll work with many different teams across Finance and other areas, such as our Central Data & Analytics Office (CD&AO), 2nd line Risk functions and Group Internal Audit.

You’ll help make FDAO a fantastic place to work! You will help drive our agenda on inclusion, growth and making FD&AO a great and fun place to work! There’ll be lots of opportunities for you to get involved, be seen and to make a real difference.

Through all of this, the underpinning thread is your role in Helping Britain Prosper.

A typical day in this role would include… What your key accountabilities will be:

• Building and managing Metadata and Data Lineage in our strategic metadata repository tool – Collibra.

• Partnering and developing relationships with key people and teams across Finance and other business teams to understand and document their processes.

• Supporting our operational processes around Data Quality Controls, periodic reviews of our Metadata, reviewing inbound change impacts and more.

• Creating and delivering reporting information for our key data forums and senior management.

• Ensure continued compliance to BCBS239 and our Group Data Policy.

Why Lloyds Banking Group?

If you think all banks are the same, you’d be wrong. We’re an innovative, fast-changing business that’s shaping finance as a force for good. A bank that’s empowering its people to innovate, explore possibilities and grow with purpose.

What you'll need

• Has strong people management and communication skills, both written and verbal including creating and delivering presentations to tell compelling stories.

• Can work collaboratively with a diverse group of partners and take them on the journey as Finance and the Group as a whole move forwards with our Data Management strategy.
