Available roles in our specialist teams

We have a range of finance roles such as Portfolio Managers, Analysts, Tax Professionals and Accountants.
Risk
The primary purpose of the risk division of a major UK bank, is to protect the bank’s customers, shareholders and colleagues. It's no different here at Lloyds Banking Group. If you'd like to join a multifaceted and forward thinking team, who are constantly innovating to ensure we manage risk effectively, then we have a wealth of roles to choose from.
