What you’ll be doing

We’re looking for a motivated and collaborative Business Partner to join our Colleague Communications & Experience (CC&E) business partnering team, supporting the People & Places (P&P)/Group HR function.

This role is ideal for someone who’s built strong foundations in communications or engagement and is ready to deepen their business partnering skills: working closely with senior colleagues to land clear, human communications that support transformation, simplification and a better colleague experience.

You’ll help turn complex priorities into messaging that makes sense, support leaders to communicate with confidence, and contribute to high-impact moments across the P&P portfolio.

Business partnering support within P&P

• Act as a day‑to‑day communications partner to leaders and teams across P&P, providing sound advice, practical challenge and strong delivery support.

• Work closely with senior CC&E business partners to align plans and messaging across programmes and functions.

• Build trusted relationships by being curious about the business and responsive to what leaders and colleagues need.

Deliver clear, engaging communications

• Support the development and delivery of communication plans aligned to transformation, colleague experience and functional priorities.

• Translate complex change into clear, accessible stories that help colleagues understand what’s changing and what it means for them.

• Draft and shape content for a range of channels, ensuring a consistent and human tone of voice – supporting both internal and external communications.

Support change and leadership communications

• Help leaders communicate change effectively and authentically, including on priority programmes such as strategic resets.

• Support the delivery of planned campaigns across the year, including strategy activation, MyVoice, Simply LBG and leadership visibility moments.

Insight led delivery

• Use listening, feedback and available data to inform communications activity and improve impact over time.

• Produce clear summaries and insights for leadership updates and forums, with guidance from senior colleagues.

Event and moment delivery

• Support the planning and delivery of high-impact moments such as all-colleague calls, leadership events, strategy sessions and cross-Group campaigns.

• Play an active role in end‑to‑end delivery — from planning through to on‑the‑day execution and follow‑up.

AI-enabled and simplified ways of working

• Use AI tools responsibly to support drafting, planning and delivery — improving pace, quality and efficiency.

• Look for opportunities to simplify processes, reuse content and reduce duplication, sharing what works with the wider team.

Why join us?

Essential

• 5+ years’ experience in a corporate communications role, spanning both internal and external communications.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to make complex information clear and engaging.

• Confidence working with senior stakeholders and adapting your style to different audiences.

• A collaborative mindset and willingness to learn from others.

• A curious approach to AI tools and how they can be used responsibly to improve ways of working.

Nice to have

• Experience supporting change or transformation activity.

• Experience supporting communications around sensitive societal or reputational matters.

• Experience using data, insight or feedback to inform communications decisions.

• Familiarity with working in large, complex organisations.

About the team

You’ll join a supportive, high performing CC&E business partnering team working across P&P. We value curiosity, collaboration and simplicity, and we create space for learning, development and connection — whether you’re building confidence as a business partner or stretching into new areas.

We offer reasonable workplace adjustments for colleagues with disabilities, including flexibility in office attendance, location and working patterns. And, as a Disability Confident Leader, we guarantee interviews for a fair and proportionate number of applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the role with a disability, long-term health or neurodivergent condition through the Disability Confident Scheme.
