LOCATION: Edinburgh  

HOURS: Full-time, 35 hours per week

About this opportunity:  

Join Lloyds Banking Group as a Senior Product Owner in our Workplace Digital Lab, within our Workplace & Retirement Platform, where our mission is to help as many customers as possible achieve a financially secure and fulfilling retirement. 
 
Within the Workplace & Retirement Platform, we operate a few specialist Labs focused on meeting the workplace pension needs of members, employers and advisers. Our aim is to work together to create exceptional workplace pension experiences and become the UK’s leading workplace savings provider. 

  
What you’ll be doing 

You’ll own a product focused backlog and lead feature teams to ship improvements regularly. 

Your primary responsibility will be to release of incremental value across our workplace employer pension propositions, ensuring we deliver digital solutions that genuinely support employers in their role as pension administrators. 

In this role, you’ll own a focused product backlog and break work into small slices of value. This approach helps the team deliver quickly and learn as they go. You’ll lead all aspects of setting a clear direction by translating customer needs into well-shaped work. You will keep everyone aligned with the outcomes we want to achieve. Collaboration is a big part of your daily work, coordinating with colleagues across the business to ensure changes launch successfully for customers and support teams. You’ll also coordinate key governance checks, such as CMIA and SPFIA to ensure we land change safely and protect customer outcomes. Additionally, you will ensure training, testing, and communications are fully in place, so every change is safe, compliant, and ready to launch.  

Using data will be central to how you prioritise and show the value your product delivers. You will support your team to continuously grow and improve how you work together. Finally, you will keep stakeholders updated by sharing progress openly and championing high-quality delivery across the wider group.  
 

Why join us? 

We’re on an exciting journey to transform our Group and the way we’re shaping finance for good. We’re focusing on the future, investing in our technologies, workplaces, and colleagues to make our Group a great place for everyone. 
 
What we’re looking for? 
We’re looking for a candidate with strong experience in the Workplace Pensions business, as this is essential for the role. You’ll bring a solid understanding of how Workplace Pension products, processes and customer journeys operate in practice, particularly through the Employer lens. In addition, you’ll have at least 2 years’ experience as an Agile Product Owner, confident in owning a backlog and delivering digital solutions. Experience in building or enhancing digital journeys is important, though secondary to deep pensions expertise. 

Handson experience working in Scrum or Kanban environments is required, along with strong stakeholder skills and the ability to influence senior stakeholders. Clear and confident communication, a practical problem-solving mindset, and familiarity with areas such as data migration, online servicing platforms, or permissions and entitlements would be valuable. Experience leading cross functional teams without direct line authority, and comfort working with budgets and forecasting, would also be beneficial. 

We know great talent comes from many backgrounds - while this advert references specific experience, skills develop in many ways, if you have relevant and transferable expertise, we encourage you to apply.
