About this opportunity

This is a pivotal moment to join Lloyds Banking Group and the Chief Security Office as we transform how security is delivered across the Group.

As the Cyber Threat Intelligence Lead, you'll lead a specialised intelligence team responsible for identifying, analysing, and producing actionable intelligence on significant cyber threats. You will play a critical role in ensuring intelligence is embedded in security systems and controls, and our cyber defence teams are threat-led to protect the UK's largest digital bank.

What you'll be doing:

• Significant Cyber Threat Intelligence experience, with strong knowledge of adversaries, campaigns and intelligence-led cyber defence.
• Experience setting direction and leading high-performing, specialist teams in a complex organisation.
• Deep knowledge of intelligence tradecraft, including intelligence requirements, structured analysis and the clear assessment of uncertainty.
• The technical credibility to drive the embedding of threat intelligence into security operations and control systems.
• The capability to drive operational excellence in the collection and analysis of threat intelligence through the usage of leading CTI and AI tooling.
• A record of turning complex intelligence into practical recommendations and measurable outcomes.
• The ability to influence senior leaders and communicate clearly with technical and non-technical audiences.
• An inclusive and improvement-focused leadership style that develops people and challenges established thinking.
• Formal intelligence training or qualifications would be useful, but they are not essential. We also welcome candidates who have developed strong intelligence tradecraft through relevant professional experience.
