About the role

Managing risk is integral to our business and helps ensure sustainable growth and that our customers get great outcomes. The UK Risk Office supports and drives a wide range of activity in the UK Business. In order to pursue our strategic objectives, we need sound risk management, and in the Risk Office, we lead the way in advising our business partners on how to understand their risks and act accordingly. As a Risk Manager, you will be at the helm of this, driving the thinking of what we do and ensuring this is implemented effectively.

Business Continuity and Resilience are vital parts of our UK Risk Office. We work with teams and senior leaders across the UK and US to ensure we are set-up for success, in a strong position to support our business and customers should anything unexpected happen.

Our BCM team ensures we understand and manage our continuity risk and is truly an enabler for the UK business. We are looking for a Business Continuity and Operational Resilience Risk Manager to lead that Business Continuity team on a 15-month secondment opportunity.

What you'll do:

• Lead our UK Business Continuity team, organizing and driving their day-to-day activities
• Continuously review, evolve, and analyze the results of assessments and tests to identify relevant risks and issues, then make recommendations to accept or mitigate
• Drive understanding of and engagement with Business Continuity across our business and at all levels
• Identify and drive process improvements using your knowledge of best industry practices and your own concepts
• Partner with technology teams and third-party teams to design and implement appropriate business continuity plans, along with any exit plan testing
• Partner with our Security and Leadership teams to ensure we are well prepared to support our business, associates, and customers should the unexpected happen
• Be involved in delivering strong regulatory compliance to Operational Resilience, and help use that to drive resilience value across the business
• Work with the business to train, embed, and support business continuity practices

What we’re looking for

We hire individuals, not box tickers, and we want people who will really understand and lead the way in how we think about Risk, especially in the context of Business Continuity and Operational Resilience.

You will need the ability to influence and drive change, deeply understand our business, and continually want to learn and develop. An analytical mindset that can break down and solve complex problems and turn them into optimal solutions is critical. Other skills and competencies include:

• Experience in successfully running business continuity programs, including disaster recovery and related testing
• Knowledge of Operational Resilience regulations and embedding them into business processes
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills with the ability to work with people at all levels of an organization
• People leadership experience with an ability to grow and develop a team

Where and how you'll work

This is a fixed-term position based in our Nottingham offices. We have a hybrid working model offering flexibility to work from our offices and from home. You will be based in our Nottingham office 3 days a week: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements that suit you.

What’s in it for you

• Contribute to the roadmap of an organization committed to transformation
• Strong and diverse career progression opportunities, with investment in development through Capital One University and external providers
• Immediate access to core benefits including pension scheme, bonus, generous holiday entitlement, and private medical insurance, plus flexible benefits like season-ticket loans, cycle-to-work scheme, and parental leave enhancements
• Accessible workspaces and facilities designed to support your wellbeing and productivity
