His 2010 production of Passion won the Evening Standard Award for Best Musical.

In 2013, the Ambassador Theatre Group launched The Jamie Lloyd Company. As the artistic director at Trafalgar Studios in 2013, Lloyd featured three productions: a revival of The Pride, The Hothouse starring Simon Russell Beale and John Simm, and Macbeth, starring James McAvoy and Claire Foy, which received an Olivier nomination for Best Revival. A second Trafalgar Transformed season opened in July 2014 with Richard III starring Martin Freeman, East is East, and The Ruling Class, again starring James McAvoy. In the same year, Lloyd directed Assassins at the Menier Chocolate Factory, starring Catherine Tate, Aaron Tveit, and Jamie Parker.
Starry productions in the following years included The Homecoming starring Gemma Chan and John Simm; The Maids , starring Uzo Aduba, Zawe Ashton, and Laura Carmichael; and Doctor Faustus starring Kit Harington.
Lloyd's 2019 production of Evita, which played the Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, earned two Olivier nominations and was lead by Samantha Pauly. Soon after, he brought Harold Pinter's Betrayal to Broadway, starring Tom Hiddleston, Zawe Ashton and Carlie Cox. The production marked his first Tony nomination.

The lineup included a new adaptation of Cyrano de Bergerac featuring James McAvoy; a version of The Seagull starring Emilia Clarke, adapted by Anya Reiss; and A Doll's House with Jessica Chastain in the lead role. The latter opened on Broadway in 2023 (second Tony nomination). Cyrano de Bergerac would go on to play BAM in 2022.
