What You'll Be Doing

Group Corporate Affairs (GCA) is an award-winning team that provides the insight, counsel, and challenge the Group needs to deliver its strategic objectives. We deliver best-in-class communications for key audiences, ensuring Lloyds Banking Group is recognised for Helping Britain Prosper.

As a manager in the Strategic Campaigns & Insights team (12-month FTC), you'll be responsible for providing insights for our communication strategies. You’ll identify what resonates with and matters to our audiences to support the creation of impactful campaigns that enhance our reputation. You’ll help modernise how we generate and use insight, combining traditional research with AI‑enabled approaches.

Responsibilities:

• Develop our understanding of what drives the Group's Corporate reputation externally, identifying drivers of reputational growth and how we can bring that to life across our campaigns. For example, through corporate audience deep dives and reputational trend analysis.

• Explore and embed new analytical approaches, including AI‑enabled research, social listening, narrative testing and horizon scanning, to improve the speed, depth and foresight of our insights.

• Support the refinement of our measurement processes across each audience to build a more accurate representation of our current standing.

• Champion insight‑led strategy, using data, technology and expert judgement to challenge assumptions, surface trade‑offs and develop campaign direction, including through presentation of the latest insight developments to facilitate strategy discussions at planning forums.

• Lead on production and delivery of insight projects and support the delivery of strategy planning by undertaking or commissioning white space analysis, horizon scanning, market and competitor scans, and other key research pieces.

• Deliver ad hoc insights to inform decision making, ensuring the most valuable and appropriate data is used.

•  Experience of research involving political, public policy, regulatory or institutional audiences would be valuable.
•  Experience of colleague or employee research, with expertise in translating internal audience insight into practical recommendations.
• A good understanding of various primary research techniques and, most meaningfully, the ability to turn this information into practical insights, so we can understand progress on the back of our results.
• Experience of social listening and secondary research techniques (e.g. desk research, online media monitoring and social listening, etc.) and outputs to further improve our reputation amongst our key audiences.
•  Experience experimenting and using AI‑enabled insight techniques (e.g. automated text analysis, scenario modelling or synthetic audiences), and translating outputs into clear, trusted advice for senior leaders.
•  Knowledge of how political, regulatory, economic, and technological developments can impact our reputational strategy.
  

(Professional)

• You'll possess a curious mindset and a background in responsibly using AI to drive efficiency and improve creative outcomes
