* Framework Alignment: Map resilience activities to existing risk management frameworks (e.g., RIO logs, RAYG status, contingency planning) to ensure consistency, traceability, and audit readiness
* Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborate with risk managers, business service owners, and delivery leads to ensure resilience is embedded in operational routines and governance structures.
* Governance & Reporting: Provide oversight and reporting on resilience delivery progress, risk posture, and control effectiveness to senior stakeholders and governance forums.

The ideal candidate will have the following:

* Proven experience in operational resilience, risk management, or business continuity within financial services.
* Strong understanding of risk frameworks, including risk identification, mitigation planning, contingency management, and lifecycle governance
* Expertise in business process design and optimisation, particularly in regulated environments.
