We’re recruiting for an HR Change Lead to join us.

We are delivering a major organisation‑wide transformation and are looking for an experienced HR Change Lead to help shape and embed our new Platform Model. You will work closely with senior leaders, programme teams and subject matter experts, bringing pace and clarity to a complex change environment.

This is a role for someone who combines strategic thinking with practical delivery, someone who can build trust quickly and knows when to accelerate progress and when to bring people together to create alignment. You will be central to ensuring that colleagues understand the change, feel supported and stay engaged throughout the journey.

What you’ll be doing:

• Partnering with HR Directors, programme leaders and experts to shape organisation design aligned to the Platform Model principles
• Creating clear, people focused change plans that support timely and high-quality programme delivery
• Working with transformation workstreams to understand and embed people and culture impacts across all stages of the programme
• Building strong relationships early, then increasing pace and challenge when the transformation requires it
• Producing clear and compelling communications, reports and business cases for senior audiences and consultation groups
• Navigating a fast-moving environment, adapting confidently to changing priorities across multiple workstreams
• Supporting communication and engagement plans that help colleagues understand what the change means for them
• Ensuring organisational design decisions reflect fair customer treatment and strong customer outcomes

Who we’re looking for:

• Strong experience delivering organisation wide change with a focus on people impacts and organisation design
• Ability to balance pace with emotional intelligence, including tailoring your approach and bringing people with you during complex change
• Confidence influencing senior stakeholders and building trusted relationships across diverse teams
• Skilled at simplifying complex information and presenting clear recommendations that support decision making
• Comfortable working in a high pace environment with the agility to manage multiple workstreams and shifting priorities
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with experience producing high quality reports and business cases
• Highly organised and proactive with strong planning and analytical capability
• Someone who brings curiosity, resilience and the ability to build trust quickly when joining a transformation that is already underway

Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer:

• The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance -related bonus plan and valuable share schemes
• Generous pension contribution
• Life assurance
• Healthcare Plan (permanent employees only)
• At least 25 days holiday, plus public holidays, 26 days after 2 years’ service. There’s also the option to buy and sell holiday
• Competitive family leave
• Participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand-new electric car through tax efficient salary sacrifice (permanent employees only)
• There are the many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
• In 2023, some of our workspaces were redesigned. Our offices are great spaces to connect and collaborate and have your wellbeing at the heart

At L&G, we believe it's possible to generate positive returns today while helping to build a better future for all. 

If you join us, you’ll be part of a welcoming, inclusive culture, with opportunities to collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds, views, and experiences. Guided by leaders with integrity who care about your future and wellbeing. Empowered through initiatives which support people to develop their careers and excel.

We care passionately about outcomes rather than attendance and are therefore open to discussing all kinds of flexible working options including part-time, term-time and job shares. Although some roles have limited flexibility due to customer demand, we accommodate requests when we can. 

It doesn’t matter if you don’t meet every single criterion in this advert. Instead, think about what you excel at and what else you can bring in terms of strengths, potential and connection to our purpose.
