Job description

Job Title: Recovery and Resolution Planning Specialist

Location: Birmingham

Corporate Title: Assistant Vice President

To comply with both US and Global regulations, the Financial Market Infrastructure (FMI) Operations team must ensure there are Contingency Strategy (CS) documents in place for all material relationships held with FMIs and Agent Banks, to support continued access to key services in a stress scenario.

The CS document describes the actions which could be taken by the FMI and how the DB Group could respond, ahead of and during resolution.

To determine which relationships require a CS, an annual global data collection is coordinated by the FMI Operations team, which drives a materiality assessment to determine the key relationships for the DB group.

The creation/refresh of a CS involves being able to review and interpret global regulatory guidance, to ensure the CS is adapted to evolving requirements. The team also engages with Business, Operations, Treasury, Legal, and Risk Management functions to gather their feedback and input.
