Job Description:

The role is focused on enhancing and maintaining the Bank's Business Continuity Management (BCM) framework to ensure resilience against potential disruptions. This includes identifying potential risks, conducting impact analyses, and coordinating with various departments to create continuity and recovery strategies.

The position also entails supporting crisis management initiatives to mitigate the impact of crises on the Bank.

The Business Continuity Senior Manager will lead training and awareness programmes, conduct regular testing and drills, and ensure compliance with relevant regulations and standards. By proactively managing risks and preparing for unforeseen events, the manager will help safeguard the bank’s operations.

Key Responsibilities:

Ensure the BCM framework is embedded across the London and New York businesses. Regularly review and update related policies and procedures in line with internal processes.
• Risk Assessments: Coordinate the business impact analysis processes and risk assessments to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities to business operations. Review, analyse, and challenge the output from various BCM assessments to identify areas of highest risk, and steer focus accordingly. Monitor emerging threats to enable proactive adjustments to the Bank’s BCM strategies.
• BCM Planning and Strategies: Collaborate with key stakeholders to develop and maintain robust strategies, including business continuity, recovery, and crisis management plans. These should ensure business operations can continue during a crisis and that the Bank can recover promptly. Monitor and review the effectiveness of resilience strategies, make recommendations, and implement improvements. Organise and lead business continuity exercises and drills to test the effectiveness of plans and identify areas for improvement. Ensure all BCM testing across the Bank is delivered according to the BCM testing programme.
• Crisis/Incident Management: Support crisis management efforts to ensure a rapid and effective response to operational disruptions. Maintain emergency communication tools for use in crises.
• Supplier Risk Management: Perform due diligence on the effectiveness of the business continuity arrangements of the Bank's third-party suppliers.
• Governance and Reporting: Provide regular reports to senior management on the status of business continuity initiatives, potential risks, and progress in addressing deficiencies.
• Training and Awareness: Design and conduct training programs for employees to raise awareness of their roles in business continuity and crisis management.
