About this opportunity
Lloyds Banking Group is on an ambitious path to transform how we Make Britain Prosper. We are still early in our journey to the cloud and are looking for driven individuals to help us to drive the change.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Data & Analytics Strategy Analyst to join a brand-new team redefining how we create our Credit Card product and pricing strategy. This team has the opportunity to enable transformative growth in Customer Relationships for one of the biggest Credit Card portfolios in the UK.
In this role you will contribute to the delivery of lightweight Python packages for business users as we seek our strategy to be limited by ideas not tools. This will require a hands-on individual that can deliver tested and version-controlled packages, focused on business delivery, whilst meeting governance expectations.
Day-to-day, you will:
Collaborate with your team to deliver innovative tools that replace Excel models with Python tools to enable increased segmentation and speed-of-delivery
Contribute to define ways of working in your team - balancing delivery with high-quality code, focused on driving through high-value change
Uplift skills by providing support for the tools you build whilst supporting a training agenda for the wider Credit Card team
Take customer requirements and translate them into technical solutions
Showcase the value of your data products to both technical and non-technical audiences
Build a network of Data practitioners across Consumer Lending to influence the tools and platforms that Python developers use across the Group
What you’ll need:
Please keep in mind you do not need to be an expert in all the following areas – if you don’t meet all the criteria, you are still encouraged to apply! A strong will and can-do attitude can help overcome any areas where you might need some further work.
At least 2-3 years of experience creating package-quality Python tools using key libraries (Conda, Pandas, NumPy, Sklearn)
Specialised in using GitHub within a development team
Experience within a cloud-based environment (ideally Google Cloud Platform)
Desirable:
Prior experience developing tools within Financial Services
Experience with Data Science techniques (e.g. statistical modelling, unsupervised or supervised Machine Learning)
A commercial understanding of interpreting product financials and Profit & Loss data
A broad understanding of the regulations and legal framework impacting the credit card industry
