About the Role:

We are seeking an experienced Operational Resilience Manager to support the continued development, operation and maturity of the Bank’s operational resilience framework.

This role will ensure that operational resilience is embedded across the Bank through clear governance, service ownership, important business service mapping, impact tolerance management, scenario testing, remediation tracking and the continuous management of operational resilience risks across critical business processes.

The successful candidate will report to the Head of Technology and work closely with Information Security, Vendor Management, Product Management, Engineering, Risk and Compliance.

Key Responsibilities:

Maintain and enhance the Bank’s operational resilience framework, ensuring it remains practical, proportionate and aligned to regulatory expectations.

Build strong relationships across the Bank to coordinate operational resilience activities, influence stakeholders and drive timely delivery of resilience outcomes across multiple business and technology teams.

Coordinate the ongoing management of operational resilience across the Bank's critical business processes, ensuring resilience insights from operational risk and activities (e.g. incidents, change, third-party risk and scenario testing) are translated into practical resilience improvements.

Provide operational resilience oversight of critical third-party and intra-group dependencies, working with Vendor Management and service owners to assess resilience, contractual protections, testing evidence and remediation requirements.

Coordinate the identification, review and governance of important business services, impact tolerances, service maps, dependencies and vulnerabilities.

Support business service owners in understanding their resilience responsibilities and maintaining appropriate evidence for their services.

Own the operational resilience scenario testing programme, including the design, planning, facilitation and evaluation of severe-but-plausible exercises linked to the Bank’s important business services and impact tolerances.

Track operational resilience vulnerabilities, lessons learned and remediation actions through to closure, ensuring insights from incidents, operational risk activities and resilience testing are appropriately reflected in resilience improvements, and escalating overdue or material issues where required.

Coordinate the Bank’s contribution to Group digital operational resilience requirements and support the alignment of UK operational resilience activities with relevant Group DORA obligations.

Produce high-quality operational resilience reporting, management information and self-assessment material for senior management, Executive Committees and Board-level governance forums.
