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.

What we need from you?

  • Expert-level understanding of CRE structuring and financing, focusing on loan products including senior debt, mezzanine, whole loans, and back leverage.
  • Experience with bond financing, securitisations, co-investment partnerships, loan on loan and back leverage products would be an advantage.
  • Strong and established relationships with a broad range of potential investors and banks.
  • Outstanding track record of delivering successful syndication strategies.
  • Strategic insight into future CRE market evolution, including the development of private credit markets and new product opportunities.
  • Capability to lead a high-profile and high-performing team in client-focused transactional situations and strategic decision-making.

About working for us!

Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture. We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative. And it’s why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups. We’re disability confident. So, if you’d like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

  • A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
