This means acquiring new customers efficiently, using data and decisioning to create more relevant communications, and building valuable, long-term customer relationships
• You’ll combine strategic leadership with strong technical and commercial judgement.

• Define and implement the overarching CRM strategy, establishing clear frameworks for audience, channel, cadence and customer contact across email, internet banking, in-app and push communications
• Utilise customer decisioning and personalisation, using customer data, segmentation and behavioural insight to surface the right message, proposition or experience to the right customer at the right time
• Own a clear test, learn and scale approach, ensuring activity is designed with robust measurement, successful interventions are automated and scaled, and learning is shared transparently across Marketing
• Oversee relevant paid-media investment and discretionary customer communications, balancing commercial opportunity, customer experience and channel capacity to achieve the best overall outcome
• Strengthen marketing effectiveness and measurement, ensuring the right Adtech, MarTech, tracking, attribution and performance frameworks are in place to show how results are being achieved
• Drive greater speed, automation and efficiency, working closely with Platform and Technology teams and making practical use of automation and artificial intelligence to improve workflows and accelerate delivery
• Lead key agency and partner relationships, including the media agency relationship, ensuring partners deliver strong critical thinking, executional excellence and commercial value

Lloyds Bank, part of Lloyds Banking Group, began operations back in 1765 and is nowadays one of the UK’s leading retail and commercial banks. As with many leading banks, the company has dealt with its share of controversy, but it has nonetheless stood the test of time and worked to build back its public reputation in the wake of these setbacks.

As part of its ongoing digital transformation, the company is seeking to put the cloud at the front of its services and systems, and has cited intentions to invest heavily in overhauling its technology infrastructure. All this seeks to serve the modern banking customer, and to compete with the fast-increasing number of alternative banking options appearing on the market.

On top of this, Lloyds Bank has shown great interest in facilitating innovation in the industry, joining as a partner on "FinTech Action Labs" to bring its industry expertise to early-stage FinTechs. The company continues to enhance its online and mobile services (it is the UK's biggest mobile bank), as well as expanding its partnerships with digital banking companies.
