About this opportunity

One key strategic priority of our Homes team is focussing on lending to UK borrowers - enabling first time buyers to get on the ladder and those already on it to keep moving. As a key driver of the Group growth strategy, we're focussed on a multi-year transformation of our home-buying and home-owning proposition and journey. Our ambition is to deepen relationships and help our customers at every stage.

You'll join us as a Product Manager within the Homes Intermediary Proposition team. This is a high-profile team, focussed on understanding the needs of customers and brokers to develop new ways to help customers buy their first and subsequent homes. We deliver across multiple brands including Halifax and Lloyds Bank.

This team focusses on proposition, policy and criteria changes that help more customers buy their first home sooner and drives growth in our mortgage business. We have made significant progress in recent years, but in a fast moving regulatory and competitive environment we need to continue to innovate at pace to remain the UK’s number one lender for first time buyers.

We're looking for a passionate, driven and capable manager to join the team to develop products, propositions and seek opportunities that support customers and Help Britain Prosper.

The role will involve collaborating closely with team across Homes, Intermediaries, Credit Risk, Finance, Group Corporate Affairs, Marketing and Platform teams to coordinate a wide range of lending growth initiatives.

Key Accountabilities:

• Developing and launching new products and propositions to support First Time Buyers purchase their first home sooner.

• Identification of gaps in the market or segments where LBG are not currently achieving natural market share, through analysis of internal and external market data.

• Responding to a fast-moving regulatory environment and identifying opportunities to mobilise response to changes as pace.

• Identification and management of risks associated with mortgage products and propositions, e.g. Consumer Duty risk and Customer Fair Value Risk

• Working collaboratively with a broad range of collaborators across the Group, to identify requirements and collaborate to achieve Homes strategic ambitions

• Building and delivering compelling storyboards to provide leaders with insight and influence prioritisation.
