About this opportunity

We're looking for a Conversation Designer to help shape and evolve one of Lloyds Banking Group's most important customer channels. You'll work on our Virtual Assistant, used by millions of customers each year, continuously improving conversations, reducing customer effort and helping customers get the answers and support they need.

This is a hands-on role for someone who loves the craft of conversation design. You'll be responsible for optimising existing experiences while helping shape how they evolve as new technologies emerge and customer expectations change.

Working within Intelligent Customer Products, you'll sit at the intersection of a mature, high-performing conversational experience and the next generation of AI-powered customer interactions. You'll help ensure customers receive a consistent, seamless experience regardless of where or how they engage with us, while contributing to the evolution of our conversation design practices, principles and patterns.

You'll work closely with Product, Engineering, Analytics and Design colleagues, using customer insight and performance data to continuously improve experiences and deliver measurable outcomes.

What you’ll be doing

• Design, optimise and continuously improve customer conversations within our Virtual Assistant.

• Use customer insight, research and performance data to find opportunities and improve conversation effectiveness.

• Create conversational experiences that are clear, helpful, accessible and aligned to our tone of voice.

• Contribute to the evolution of conversational patterns, standards and guidelines across the team.

• Help ensure conversational experiences are consistent across products, channels and touchpoints.

• See opportunities to improve how customers move between conversational and non-conversational experiences.

• Support the design and testing of new conversational capabilities as technologies and customer needs evolve.

• Facilitate workshops, reviews and collaborative design sessions

Why join us?

What we’re looking for?

• Strong experience designing conversational experiences, with a deep understanding of how people communicate, behave and make decisions through conversation.

• A strong foundation in experience design, with the ability to think beyond individual interactions and consider the wider customer experience.

• Someone who combines creativity with rigour, using customer needs, evidence and insight to shape design decisions.

• Experience operating within a complex enterprise environment, balancing customer needs, business objectives, technical constraints and risk considerations.

• Confidence owning experiences end-to-end, from finding opportunities through to delivery, measurement and optimisation.

• A proactive attitude, using customer insight and performance data to drive continuous improvement and iteration.

• A natural learner who actively keeps up with developments in conversational AI, design and technology, bringing fresh thinking, ideas and standard processes back into the team.
