Anticipate and respond to changes in the financial crime environment, and what this might mean for our business including constantly looking to improve the way we work. Lead the advancement of our 'big ticket' initiatives including an uplift in our anti-money laundering efforts, which has visibility to a senior audience.

You'll be restlessly curious and externally focussed, searching out the latest technology and artificial intelligence tools that let us detect and control financial crime better than ever. You'll know the detail of the latest legal and regulatory requirements, with an ability to simplify so people are focussed on the essential and important. You can create a strategy, but also change altitude from the 30,000 feet perspective right down to the systems and processes that need to work for strategy to lead to action. You'll be clear that we're here to make money, but in the right way. This means striking a balance between the bank's interests, and those of our customers and the society we serve. You'll always bring humanity to your decision making and have a strong ethical compass. This means we do the right thing by the people of Britain and NI and go home knowing we made decisions we'd be happy to explain to our loved ones, and the person we see in the mirror. At Lloyds Banking Group, purpose matters and we hope it matters for you too.
