What You’ll Be Doing
This is a focused role leading and embedding Operational Resilience across a defined set of market‑critical services within our LBCM business. The role plays a key part in supporting compliance with Operational Resilience regulation and involves regular exposure to senior executives and board‑level leaders, operating in highly time‑sensitive and complex environments.
You’ll act as a control expert within the CIB Chief Controls Office, providing deep subject‑matter expertise and independent challenge across the identification, mapping, testing and governance of Important Business Services (IBS), Important Business Processes (IBP) and supporting assets.
As part of this role, you’ll:
- Lead delivery of the Operational Resilience lifecycle for market‑critical services, including IBS/IBP identification, impact tolerance (ITOL) setting, mapping, scenario testing and ongoing remediation.
- Act as a technical subject matter expert on FCA/PRA Operational Resilience requirements (PS21/3, SS1/21), providing credible challenge and pragmatic guidance to senior leaders.
- Support and challenge IBS and IBP Owners to ensure services and processes are precisely defined, appropriately scoped and maintained in line with regulatory expectations.
- Ensure detailed, end‑to‑end mapping of dependencies across people, technology, places, data and supply chain, with a clear understanding of markets infrastructure, platforms and third‑party dependencies.
- Identify, assess and take ownership for addressing material resilience vulnerabilities, including weaknesses in controls, tolerances or recovery capabilities, ensuring robust remediation plans are agreed and tracked.
- Design and coordinate severe but plausible scenario testing, assessing disruption impacts to market‑critical services and using outcomes to drive sustainable control improvement.
- Produce high‑quality, technically robust MI and analysis for senior governance forums and regulatory engagement, clearly articulating risks, vulnerabilities and resilience outcomes.
What We’re Looking For
Essential skills and experience:
- At least 2 years’ experience working with FCA/PRA Operational Resilience regulations (PS21/3 and SS1/21), including scoping Important Business Services, setting impact tolerances and testing severe but plausible scenarios.
- Certificate of the Business Continuity Institute (CBCI) as a minimum.
- 2+ years’ hands‑on experience working within Financial or Capital Markets environments, supporting market‑critical services, platforms or processes (e.g. trading, clearing, settlement, treasury, markets technology or infrastructure) in a regulated setting.
- Strong working knowledge of Operational Resilience concepts and lifecycle activities, with practical experience across key lifecycle components including mapping and scenario testing.
- Proven experience providing independent, control‑focused challenge while working effectively with senior leaders.
- Experience using Operational Resilience or risk tooling to support analysis, reporting and governance activity.
And any experience of these would be useful:
- Experience integrating Operational Resilience into wider risk, control or assurance activity.
