Overview:

We're seeking a Resilience Delivery Lead to bridge strategic business architecture with operational resilience.

This is a key role requiring deep financial services experience and strong stakeholder engagement, working with senior leaders across the business.

Key Responsibilities:

• End-to-End Resilience Process Design: Lead the design and continuous improvement of the full resilience lifecycle, including BSRP creation, invocation, monitoring, and exit, as well as integration with self-assessment cycles. • Business Architecture Alignment: Map resilience processes to business capabilities, ensuring that resilience is embedded into the operating model and aligned with enterprise architecture principles. • Process Simplification & Automation: Identify opportunities to streamline and automate resilience processes, reducing manual effort while improving accuracy, traceability, and usability. • Governance & Integration: Ensure that resilience processes are aligned with broader risk and control frameworks, including regulatory expectations and internal audit requirements. • Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborate with business service owners, risk leads, and technical SMEs to ensure resilience processes are practical, scalable, and embedded in BAU and crisis operations. • Continuous Improvement: Use feedback from real-world resilience events and exercises to refine processes and improve readiness across the organisation.

Required Skills & Experience:
• Proven experience in operational resilience, business architecture, or risk management within financial services. • Deep understanding of BSRPs, self-assessments, and their role in regulatory and operational resilience frameworks. • Strong process design and optimisation skills, with a track record of simplifying complex workflows. • Ability to work across business and technical domains, translating resilience needs into actionable architecture and delivery plans. • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience engaging senior leadership and cross-functional teams.
