About this opportunity

We're looking for a hands‑on manager to join our Nominated Officer (NO) Team. You'll lead high-profile investigations, make disclosure decisions to the NCA, and be a Risk subject matter expert (SME) that supports first and second line colleagues to deliver fast, high quality outcomes that meet legal obligations.

Crime moves quickly. Our NO Team moves faster. Your calls on DAML/consent and pre‑event investigations can freeze funds, prevent harm, and shape how we work with law enforcement and regulators. When the team does its job well - money laundering doesn't pay.

Day to day, you will:

• Own complex SAR investigations end‑to‑end: gather facts, assess risk, decide on disclosure, and document decisions clearly.
• Strengthen controls: provide expert oversight of operational areas, spot gaps, identify issues and drive forward fixes that stick.
• Deliver intelligence‑led risk management: use data to prioritise work and reduce harm to customers and communities.
• Liaise confidently with external agencies (NCA, FCA, HMRC, DWP, police) and partners across the Group.
• Innovate and change at pace: identify what can be done better, done faster and make sure projects land and the bank's legal obligations are met.
• Coach and develop investigators: lift capability, set standards, and create succession for key roles.
• Represent the team: deputise for the Senior Manager at forums and decision meetings.

Why Lloyds Banking Group

We're on an exciting journey and there couldn't be a better time to join us. The investments we're making in our people, data, and technology are leading to innovative projects, fresh possibilities, and countless new ways for our people to work, learn, and thrive.

What you'll need

• Strong knowledge and recent practical application of legislation relating to POCA, TACT and ML Regulations – you know how they apply in real investigations.
• Excellent investigation skills and operational judgement – your experience in investigations ensures you focus on what matters, consider all relevant facts and make timely, accountable decisions.
• Problem solving using critical thinking – you are curious, you use data and facts to identify issues, find realistic solutions and work with others to implement them.
• Strong Stakeholder management – you are skilled at working collaboratively with stakeholders across the bank, peers in the wider regulated sector, law enforcement and the regulator.
• Leadership – you know how to work in a high-performance team; you provide the constructive challenge and support to colleagues to deliver continuous improvement. You are a high performer and you help colleagues attain the same.
• Innovate at Pace – you simplify processes, remove bureaucracy, and help us work smarter.
• Wider understanding of the UK's Economic Crime Ecosystem – to support the senior managers and the Director inform and influence strategic change.

And it's why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups. We're disability confident. So if you'd like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.
