Stakeholder Engagement

• Coordinate workshops and sessions to drive awareness and ensure consistent understanding across departments.
• Act as a point of contact between programme delivery teams, legal advisors, SMEs, and operational leads.
• Monitor implementation progress and support a smooth transition into standard business processes.

Training & Culture

• Develop and deliver resilience-focused training across various teams.
• Promote best practices in risk and continuity planning.
• Embed a culture of awareness, accountability, and continuous improvement.

What We’re Looking For:

• A degree in Risk Management, Cyber Security, Information Technology, or a related discipline.
• A minimum of 5 years’ experience in operational resilience, cybersecurity, or regulatory roles.
• Solid understanding of UK and EU regulatory frameworks, with hands-on experience relating to DORA.
• Demonstrable experience conducting regulatory gap analyses, resilience testing, and risk assessments.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities in a deadline-driven environment.
• Excellent interpersonal and stakeholder management skills, particularly in regulated settings.
• Background in Agile delivery environments.
• Confident communicator with a structured approach to delivering complex regulatory information.
