You will work with colleagues across different markets to turn policy requirements into clear, workable practices that protect essential business activities.

Responsibilities

• Help business teams identify priority activities, assess the consequences of disruption, and develop realistic recovery arrangements through business impact analysis and continuity planning.

• Evaluate the quality of recovery documentation and exercise results, challenge gaps in preparedness, and follow through with accountable owners on improvements.

• Build engagement through workshops, practical guidance, and targeted learning activities, helping colleagues understand their responsibilities and apply continuity requirements confidently.

• Improve business continuity tools and processes by gathering user needs, testing proposed changes, and helping teams adopt more effective ways of working.

• Analyse readiness indicators, outstanding issues, and overdue actions, providing management with clear reporting and escalating concerns that could weaken recovery capability.

Requirements

• At least five years of experience in business continuity management, operational resilience, or related transformation work within a large organisation, preferably in banking or financial services.

• Practical knowledge of business impact analysis, recovery strategies, business continuity plans, and testing, with the ability to assess whether arrangements are credible and fit for purpose.

• Experience introducing new processes or tools and supporting adoption across multiple business functions, locations, or stakeholder groups.

• Strong communication, facilitation, and analytical skills, with confidence delivering training, challenging incomplete work, and presenting recommendations to management.

• A relevant degree and a recognised business continuity qualification, such as CBCI, CBCP, or equivalent, together with experience collaborating across international teams.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Business Continuity Manager who wants to strengthen organisational preparedness, influence business practices, and contribute to operational resilience within financial services.
