Top Insider Advice
My top three tips would be: - Embrace new opportunities and experiences. You never know what you might learn or discover from venturing into the unknown or challenging yourself. Be ready to adapt and grow from different situations and perspectives. - Cultivate curiosity and eagerness to learn. Demonstrating that you can acquire new knowledge and skills in diverse domains and apply them effectively in your work will make you stand out. Seek feedback and guidance from others and always look for ways to improve yourself. - Take initiative and collaborate with others. Keep your eye out for interesting opportunities and be open to asking - asking questions, asking for support, asking for new opportunities. Show that you can work well with others and contribute to projects. Build productive relationships with internal and external stakeholders and develop as a respected subject matter expert.

What do you like about your job and the company?
One of the things I like the most about my current position as a Product Manager in Personal Current Accounts is the chance to support various projects that aim to create and improve products that meet customer needs and business goals. I enjoy being part of different stages of product development, such as market research, data analysis and feedback evaluation. I also enjoy working with different teams and stakeholders, such as risk, legal, and other product experts, to ensure a smooth and successful product delivery. I find it rewarding to see the results of my work and how it impacts customers and the business. I am always looking for ways to enhance customer satisfaction, increase retention, and drive growth.
Greatest achievements
One of the achievements that I am most proud of is becoming a trustee for a charity that supports a cause that I care about. As a board member, I actively participate in board meetings and sub-committees, engaging in constructive discussions and decision-making processes in order to foster a culture of transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct within the organisation and promote good governance at all levels. I work collaboratively with other board members, the senior leadership team, attend regular meetings and review documents. Another achievement that I am proud of is empowering proactive decision-making, evidenced by data-driven recommendations that amplify customer satisfaction and help propel business growth at Lloyds Banking Group. In my previous placement within Homes as an Onboarding Specialist I drew attention to issues with the AIP customer journey by undertaking a competitor analysis resulting in several teams taking note and prioritising some of the problems I raised.
