COO, Vocalink Limited
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the Chief Operating Office in Vocalink Limited, a Mastercard business, which provides Critical National Infrastructure to the UK.

Operational Resilience
Vocalink complies with the Bank of England's requirements on Operational Resilience. The Bank defines operational resilience as 'the ability of Financial Market Infrastructures (FMIs) and the sector as a whole to prevent, respond to, recover and learn from operational disruptions' with a particular focus for Vocalink on protecting financial stability, preventing threats to the transfer of payments, and enabling the safety and efficiency of the Recognised Payment Service Operators.
In Vocalink, the Chief Operating Office has overall accountability for the Operational Resilience Framework including policies and procedures, working closely with the Important Business Services owners in the Product, Strategy and Commercial Services teams, as well as "Pillar" owners across Technology, Security, Data, Facilities, People and Third Parties. The team also work closely with key stakeholders across the financial services industry and particularly the Recognised Payment Service Operators.

- Development and ongoing management of the Response and Recovery playbooks, including supporting processes and mechanisms that enable recovery following an incident.
- Lead the development of Scenario Exercises, including key injects, to ensure the Scenarios are "extreme but plausible" in line with the Bank of England's definition.
- Working closely with the Major Incident Management Team, Crisis Management Team and Vocalink Executive Committee and Board, to ensure all are adequately involved in the Annual Scenario Test Plan.
- Working closely in with key stakeholders to support relevant industry exercising, ensuring Vocalink provides appropriate input and is adequately represented.
- Management of Lessons Learnt and associated actions for Vocalink identified through Annual Scenario Test Plan, including updating key governance fora, and working across the business and external stakeholders to ensure timely delivery.
- Strong and effective reporting in key governance forums across all 3LOD on adequacy of Scenario Exercises and resulting Lessons Learnt.
- Deputising for the Vice President, Operational Resilience, covering all elements of Operational Resilience activity where required and attendance at key internal and external meetings and governance fora.
You will need to:
- Work very closely with the Major Incident Management Team and Crisis Management Team.
