Descrição da oferta de emprego

Senior Business Continuity Analyst

An Asian financial institution, recognized as one of the largest and among the leading banks worldwide, with a strong presence across the Americas, Europe, and Asia. In Brazil, the institution focuses on corporate and investment banking, providing clients with tailored financial solutions.

With a global reputation for stability and long-term relationships, the institution continues to invest in innovation, cybersecurity, and sustainability, reinforcing its commitment to responsible growth and the protection of client interests in a rapidly evolving financial landscape.

The main idea of this role is to protect the institution’s ability to deliver critical banking services during disruption by owning and advancing the BCM – Business Continuity Management program processes. This is a hands-on, orchestration-heavy position that translates global continuity standards into effective local execution and audit-ready evidence.

Concretely, the role:

• Leads the BCM lifecycle end-to-end: conducts BIAs (criticality, dependencies, RTO/RPO), maintains BCPs, and plans/coordinates tests (e.g., DR/switch-over validations, contingency site, VDI/endpoint readiness, evacuation drills, call tree), including out-of-hours windows.
• Turns results into decisions: surfaces risks, residual exposures, and disclaimers to risk committees; drives lessons learned and closes open issues with robust documentation and owners/dates/evidence.
• Connects BCM to the broader non-financial risk picture: interfaces with Operational Incidents, Vendor Risk, Products & Services, and RCSA so that continuity risks and control gaps are consistently identified, tracked, and remediated.
• Bridges global and local: adapts global policy/standards to Brazil’s context, ensuring regulatory fit (BACEN) without diluting control integrity.
• Influences without formal authority: engages senior stakeholders (e.g., Treasury and Operations leaders) to prioritize continuity activities, align on test windows, and validate outcomes; partners with IT/IS to validate DR without performing technical changes.

Main Challenges and Assignments

• Operate the existing Business Continuity framework while continuously improving its maturity, expanding coverage, and strengthening evidence quality.
• Organize and document activities using spreadsheets and manual controls, ensuring that all records are audit-ready and compliant with internal and external requirements.
• Plan, coordinate, and lead continuity tests, including out-of-hours exercises, anticipating risks, resolving issues on the spot, and making sound, well-reasoned decisions.
• Adapt global policies and methodologies to the Brazilian regulatory context, maintaining alignment with global standards and full compliance with BACEN requirements.
• Engage and influence critical business areas, such as Treasury and Operations, to secure collaboration and prioritization of BCM activities without direct authority.
• Map critical processes, conduct Business Impact Analyses (BIA), and maintain updated Business Continuity Plans (BCP).
• Develop, update, and review continuity policies, standards, and procedures, while supporting the management of open issues, regulatory requirements, and action plans.
• Deliver training to teams and managers on continuity and disaster recovery procedures, proactively monitor external events and news for potential risks
• This role will also involve executing other operational risk programs such as Operational Incident Management, Vendor/Product & Service Risk Management, etc.

Experience and Professional Qualifications

• Bring solid experience gained over several years in financial institutions, with a proven track record in Business Continuity Management, including BIA, BCP, and continuity testing.
• Demonstrate strong knowledge of operational resilience practices, with exposure to RCSA, operational incident management, and vendor/third-party risk.
• Be comfortable coordinating with IT and Information Security (IS) teams during disaster recovery validations, leading and validating outcomes without performing the technical execution.
• Possess proficiency in Excel for data analysis and tracking, and PowerPoint for building clear, executive-level presentations and reports.
• Communicate effectively in English at a level to interact with global stakeholders and follow corporate standards.
• Hold a degree in Business, Engineering, Information Systems/Computer Science, Risk Management, or a related field.
• Knowledge of Bank Policies and Regulations, familiarity with cyber risk policies, procedures, and regulations, and the ability to review and ensure compliance with these requirements (Differential). Bring additional exposure to ISO 22301 standards, experience with tools such as Visio or Power BI/Power Query, and professional certifications in business continuity or disaster recovery (e.g., CBCP, DRII, BRCCI). (Differential)

Behavioral Skills

• Executive communication & influence – Engages effectively with senior stakeholders, articulates complex topics in a clear, concise manner, and secures alignment in risk committees.
• Proactivity & ownership – Demonstrates a self-starter mindset, acting hands-on and taking full responsibility for driving initiatives to completion.
• Organization, discipline & critical thinking – Maintains audit-ready documentation with rigor and structure, while applying analytical thinking and sound judgment to make timely, well-reasoned decisions.
• Collaboration & resilience – Partners seamlessly with Non-Tech areas and IT/IS, showing adaptability and composure under pressure, and adjusting course when unexpected challenges arise.
