Why Join

You will play a pivotal role in shaping and implementing our operational resilience strategy, identifying and mitigating risks, and driving a culture of resilience across the organization. You will have the opportunity to work with senior leaders, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and leverage your expertise to drive meaningful change.

How it works

This role requires a strong understanding of operational resilience concepts, differences when compared to business continuity and their interdependencies with broader non-financial risk domains such as technology risks, cybersecurity, third-party risk, data risks, and people risks.

What you do

• Lead the identification, mapping, and risk assessment of critical business services, integrating dependencies across people, processes, technology, facilities, and third parties.
• Drive the implementation of resilience frameworks aligned to MAS BCM/TRM Guidelines, PRA Operational Resilience, and other relevant regulatory standards.
• Develop impact tolerances and conduct regular scenario testing and lessons-learned reviews to validate the bank's ability to operate within defined thresholds.
• Partner with non-financial risk management teams to align resilience planning with underlying risk exposures and controls.
• Integrate insights from cyber events, vendor disruptions, IT outages, and data integrity issues into resilience assessments and response strategies.
• Provide regular updates to senior management, risk committees, and regulators on resilience posture, testing outcomes, and remediation progress.
• Monitor evolving regulatory expectations and industry trends to inform ongoing enhancements to the operational resilience programme.

Who you are

• Minimally 7 to 9 years of relevant experience in operational resilience, business continuity, or non-financial risk functions in banking or financial services.
• Strong understanding of interlinkages between operational resilience and domains such as third-party risk, cybersecurity, technology risk, and data risk.
• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks including MAS BCM/TRM, UK PRA, Basel Principles, APRA CPS 230, and global best practices.
• Proven ability to work across business, risk, and technology teams to integrate resilience into enterprise-wide risk management practices.
