Job Description

Lloyds Banking Group is the UK’s biggest Retail, Digital and Mobile bank with over 30 million customers. Our products touch the lives of millions, so we have a big responsibility to help Britain Prosper.

Consider the scale of our Enterprise for a moment…

The Group has approximately 40% of the nation’s domestic payments passing through its systems, processing tens of billions in value on a daily basis with millions of direct debits, standing orders, interbank transfers, annuities, pension payments that need to pass through our category A, B and C systems.

To make this happen every hour and every day takes some smart people and some smart technology. TWS is a core and critical component of our banking operations and ensuring TWS is maintained, configured, patched, upgraded and fully exploited is the responsibility of Group IT professionals.

If you have extensive experience with z/os platforms, and ideally with TWS for z/os, and maybe associated technologies such as TWS Distributed, TDWC and even RACF/ACF2 and general IT platform skills then we’d be keen to broaden your horizons with TWS and exposure to some fantastic technologies.

You’ll have a background as either a z-Platform SME or TWSz SME professional, or a strong scheduling toolset background as well as good Distributed technology skills (Unix, Linux, Windows) – and we’d build on all the skills you’ve gained and put them to good use across our banks infrastructure.

And if you happen to already have previous banking experience then this would be ideal but isn’t expected.

  • Supporting the TWS service, predominantly across our z/os platform estate, but also amongst our distributed network.
  • Ensuring privileged access is managed in line with LBG policies and to ensure the highest standards of security are attained for both our product and access.
  • Maintaining compliance to SOX, ITEC and other internal processes.
  • Deliver assigned tasks to deadlines.
  • Identify and lead the delivery of opportunities for automation and efficiency within the team.
  • Identify and contribute towards continuous improvement.
  • Provide guidance and support to programs and projects where engagement and deliverables require it.
  • Troubleshoot and diagnosing complex problems and applying your expertise to lead incidents to successful resolution.
  • Identify solutions to problems faced by our batch support teams and create innovative ways of solving complex issues.

What we'll need from you:

  • Previous role as a z/os mainframe specialist (or TWS Mainframe specialist) is essential.
  • Detailed z/os skills with demonstrable knowledge required as is an excellent understanding of z/os mainframe operating system and configurations.
  • Experience of RACF/ACF2
  • The successful candidate will understand the concepts of batch scheduling and the concepts or what schedulers are used for.
  • A working knowledge of TWS/IWS scheduling software is essential.
  • Knowledge of CA7 advantageous
  • A knowledge of Distributed systems (Windows, Unix, Linux) is desirable as there will be an element of supporting TWS on these systems also.
  • Be able to participate in a 24x7 callout rota (approximately 1 in 4).

As well as a competitive salary, this role offers:

  • Flex cash sum
  • 28 days holiday (plus bank holidays)
  • A total reward package that offers discounted lifestyle, financial and protection benefits you can tailor to suit your lifestyle

We're dedicated to giving you opportunities and support to develop you both expertly and personally to optimise your potential.

As a new colleague, you’ll join us on our journey to build a 21st century bank that reflects modern Britain, and craft an inclusive culture where all colleagues feel encouraged and valued.

We're committed to building a workforce which reflects the diversity of the customers and communities we serve, and to building an inclusive environment where all our colleagues can be themselves and succeed on merit.
