Job Title: Global Operational Resilience Specialist Dublin, Ireland
Description:
The primary goal of this position is to maintain and further develop the firm's Operational Resilience Framework, ensuring compliance with global regulations. This involves accurately documenting ICT resiliency capabilities (systems and data), providing structured responses to significant disruptions, and minimizing outage risks.
Governance is a crucial aspect of this role, encompassing the maintenance of all governance documentation for the Operational Resilience and Business Continuity Management (BCM) programs. Ensuring evidence of compliance with these programs is also essential, as is collaboration with senior leaders to identify critical business activities and set risk tolerances.
An operating model that prioritizes business continuity is vital in this position. Enhancing documentation of the firm's operating model and activities, presenting updates to senior leadership as needed, and representing the firm in regulatory matters related to operational resilience and business continuity are key responsibilities.
Effective assessment and planning are also critical components of this role. Maintaining accurate Business Impact Analyses for supporting groups, working with IT, ERM, Data Governance, and HR to assess resource requirements for business activities, and ensuring Business Continuity Plans (BCPs) reflect current capabilities and risk appetite are essential tasks.
Testing and integration are also vital aspects of this position. Coordinating annual testing of BCPs and disaster recovery plans across locations, reviewing recovery times to ensure they meet RTOs and MTDs, and embedding operational resilience into incident management, InfoSec, disaster recovery, TPSP management, and infrastructure programs are key responsibilities.
To be successful in this role, you will require:
* At least 10 years of experience in business continuity or disaster recovery, preferably in finance, fintech, or IT;
* A deep understanding of US and global BCM, DR, Vendor Risk Management regulations, EU DORA, and practical experience;
* Strong IT knowledge and credibility with IT management, including cyber risks;
* A proven ability to conduct impact analyses, develop response/recovery plans, and execute tests;
* Ability to translate regulations into practical implementation options;
* Experience with Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) tools;
* Excellent collaboration and relationship management skills;
This is an exciting opportunity to work in a dynamic environment and contribute to the development of operational resilience strategies that drive business success.
