  • Act as a key point of contact for audit reviews.
  • Coordinate responses to regulatory requests, reviews, information submissions and follow-up actions in support of the accountable SMF.
  • Take ownership of the Operational Resilience and Business Continuity Management framework, ensuring it continues to evolve and meet organisational needs.
  • Provide guidance, training, oversight and constructive challenge to support strong decision-making.
  • Define and maintain metrics, triggers, thresholds and management information to support oversight, escalation and continuous improvement.
  • Maintain policies, standards, procedures and supporting documentation to ensure consistency, compliance and audit readiness.
  • Develop and maintain the Self-Assessment document, working collaboratively with Important Business Services (IBS) owners and stakeholders to ensure all services, mapping and processes remain accurate and up to date.
  • Design and run scenario-based testing against impact tolerances, including third-party testing where relevant.
  • Own and maintain the Crisis Management Plan, including call cascades, escalation pathways and communication protocols.
  • Oversee Business Impact Analysis (BIA) activities to identify critical processes, resources, recovery objectives and dependencies.
  • Ensure Business Continuity arrangements, planning, documentation and testing align with resilience requirements.
  • Work closely with Risk, Compliance and Business Unit Relationship Managers to support delivery of the Third-Party Risk Management framework, including resilience assurance, business continuity and exit planning/testing.
  • Chair the Resilience Steering Committee and contribute as a member of the Crisis Management Team.

This role is based on a 35-hour working week, Monday to Friday. Start times are flexible between 7:30am and 9:30am.

Following an initial training period, there is the option to work from home for up to two days per week.
