I started Lloyds Banking Group on a graduate scheme in 2018 and have held a number of roles throughout the bank. My current role is a Senior Product Owner where I set the vision and direction for a product and support a team of engineers to deliver the product. I am often providing stakeholder updates, overcoming and unblocking challenges and making key prioritisation decisions for my product.
Alongside my role, I am completing a Level 7 Senior Leadership Apprenticeship.

This apprenticeship has been invaluable in helping me secure a promotion and thrive in a more senior role.
