  • Identify and define Important Business Services (IBS) in collaboration with business and technology teams.
  • Assess, review and set impact tolerances for each IBS, ensuring they align with business and regulatory requirements. • Prepare and submit reports on operational resilience, control effectiveness, plans, implementation and testing to stakeholders and senior management.
  • Own the coordination of internal and external audits on operational resilience, providing evidence packs and tracking findings and actions through to closure.

  • Act as the primary liaison with IT for disaster recovery planning, testing and execution, and work with IT and cyber security teams to ensure technology resilience and cyber threat mitigation strategies are aligned with operational resilience objectives.
  • Assess and document the resilience impact of cloud adoption and payment scheme changes (e.g. CHAPS, FPS, SWIFT, etc.), producing resilience impact assessments for sign-off.
  • Collaborate with key stakeholders across risk, compliance, operations, IT and business functions to embed resilience principles.
  • Develop and deliver operational resilience awareness training and communications to staff, stakeholders and senior management.
