Specialist Project Delivery Manager

Lloyds Banking Group's pension schemes for its current and former employees are some of the UK's largest. They are run by a trustee board. The trustee directors are responsible for ensuring that the assets of these pension schemes are invested and benefits are paid to members when due. The trustee directors are helped in their day-to day activities - governance, finance and reporting, member services, investments, managing risk - by an in-house executive, a team of over 40 colleagues. As part of the executive, you will support more than 300,000 current and former Lloyds Group colleagues and their families. At this scale, high quality governance is critical for good member outcomes. What you'll do:

• Representing the trustees, monitor and ensuring management of project delivery from internal and external suppliers is at the expected level
• Focussing on the member experience of end-to-end delivery particularly where there are multiple hand offs between suppliers, identifying areas for improvement and implementing change
• Ensuring that there are robust processes and controls in place at each step in the end-to-end project delivery
• Liaison with supplier management, sourcing and other LBG functions to ensure that the management and monitoring of project delivery meets the Trustee's requirements and is represented consistently across all schemes and suppliers
• Your strong pensions knowledge will ensure questions and queries are resolved and efficient ways of working implemented.
• Establishing and maintaining strong relationships with other teams within the end-to-end process.
