  • Ensure any vulnerabilities and actions identified during scenario testing or lessons learned exercises are agreed with owners and documented and achieved in good time.
  • Develop MI for various governance forums, including clear and concise documentation which details progress of third-party testing.
  • Participate in the delivery of training and awareness exercises which aim to embed the Operational Resilience strategy within the business.
What We're Looking For

We are looking for a highly self-motivated and optimistic individual who can hit the ground running. You will be diligent and organized with the ability to work on multiple workstreams at once. Experience of using Visio or similar process mapping tools is desirable, as is the ability to interpret complex systems and processes.

You will also have an understanding of resilience testing requirements and strong written communication skills, with experience of writing for a senior-level audience. Experience of MS Excel for detailed data analysis, and/or Power BI to build effective reporting is also desirable.
