We’re looking for a seasoned professional to lead the development and delivery of operational resilience standards across a multi‑jurisdictional environment, ensuring regulatory compliance and operational excellence.

What you'll do

• Support the development and ongoing maintenance of the Operational Resilience standards framework, ensuring it remains aligned with multi‑jurisdictional regulatory requirements and internal risk appetite.
• Own and maintain specific elements of the identification and mapping of Important Business Services (IBS) and Critical or Important Functions (CIFs), ensuring consistency, traceability, and regulatory alignment across all relevant entities.
• Contribute to the calibration and periodic review of impact tolerances by supporting the translation of regulatory expectations into practical and measurable metrics for business continuity.
• Translate relevant regulatory requirements—including FCA/PRA rules, DORA provisions, and Middle East frameworks—into clear, actionable standards that support both business units and second line teams in interpretation and implementation.
• Support the definition and maintenance of technology resilience and Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) standards to ensure comprehensive coverage of operational risks in line with broader resilience objectives.
• Maintain and enhance assigned components of the scenario library to support credible assurance activities as well as regulator‑aligned testing initiatives.
• Engage proactively with stakeholders across Assurance & Testing, Crisis Management, Business teams, and other functions to ensure that resilience standards are understood, adopted, and effectively embedded throughout the organisation.
• Assist the Head of Operational Resilience with committee work such as the Oversight Committee or Practitioners Forum when required, contributing insights that help steer strategic direction.
• Contribute to performance management within the Operational Resilience team by ensuring compliance with governance policies and procedures while supporting short‑ and medium‑term objectives within budgetary constraints.
• Analyse regional reporting arrangements for Operational Resilience effectiveness; identify areas for improvement; elevate issues as appropriate; develop staff training programmes; provide regular updates on progress; contribute to governance deliverables influencing business strategy regionally and globally.

What you bring

• Demonstrable experience in developing or maintaining operational resilience frameworks within financial services or similarly regulated environments is essential for success in this role.
• A deep understanding of UK (FCA/PRA), EU (DORA), and Middle Eastern regulatory requirements relating to operational resilience is highly desirable.
• Proven ability to translate complex regulatory requirements into clear policies or standards that can be practically implemented by business units is crucial.
• Experience managing or supporting third party risk management (TPRM) processes within an operational resilience context would be advantageous.
• Strong analytical skills enabling you to assess risk reporting arrangements effectively while identifying areas for improvement are required.
• Excellent communication skills are necessary for engaging stakeholders at all levels including first line business teams, second line oversight functions, committees, forums, regulators, auditors, etc.
• A track record of delivering training or awareness programmes related to operational resilience or risk management topics is beneficial.
• Ability to work collaboratively within cross‑functional teams while building positive relationships across different lines of defence is vital for this position.
