About this opportunity

At Lloyds Banking Group, we’re on an exciting journey to develop finance for good. As an Incident Management Assistant Manager, the role involves supporting the end-to-end handling of incidents across our innovative Embedded Finance products. Collaboration with business, technology, operations, suppliers, and other partners helps restore services, protect customers, and deliver clear, timely outcomes.

Your role will involve managing incidents from initial triage and impact assessment through to service restoration, closure, and post-incident review. You’ll coordinate incident bridges and working groups, ensuring actions, owners, priorities, and updates are clearly defined and communicated.

Assess and document impacts related to customers, merchants, colleagues, operations, finances, regulations, and reputation, bringing up concerns when necessary. Additionally, prepare clear updates for senior collaborators, operational teams, and third-party partners.

Maintaining accurate incident records supports root cause analysis and post-incident reviews. This helps turn learning into practical improvements. Assistance is provided in updating incident playbooks, routes for critical issues, disruption models, reporting, and governance. Incident insights help identify recurring problems and opportunities to improve customer outcomes and operational resilience.
