12 hours ago

London, UK, United Kingdom Project Recruit Full time

Our client, a leader in the financial services sector, has an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated and enthusiastic self-starter to join their growing, cross-regional Compliance team to deliver specialist support for the operational resilience program.


This is a unique and exciting role that will entail hands-on involvement with the design and delivery of program components, as well as advice, checks, and challenges. Comprising a broad framework of strategy, policy/procedures, controls, testing, risk management, and more, the program offers great variety and demands an agile and pragmatic approach to the work, as well as to stakeholder management. This is a 12-month temporary contract. It is a hybrid role based in the City of London, with an expectation to work 4 days in-office and 1 day remote.


In this role, you will work collaboratively with key functions and business lines, such as Risk, CISO, Engineering, Product, Sales, and Data, to address the evolving needs of clients and regulators worldwide. As part of the team, you’ll support Operational Resilience coverage across multiple domains, including cybersecurity, technology resilience, information security, business continuity (Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery), service mapping, incident management, third-party risk, and physical security.


The ideal candidate will be a quick learner, with experience in Operational Resilience, cyber or information security program design, delivery, and/or assessment, gained at a regulated financial services firm, or with a regulator or third-party provider in the financial services industry. Strong problem-solving skills, a keen eye for detail, and enthusiasm for tackling complex challenges are essential. Experience in responding to regulatory requests, notifications, or submissions (from either a firm or regulatory perspective) would be an advantage, as well as a solid understanding of financial markets, electronic trading, and risk assessment.


Key Responsibilities

  • Provide day-to-day compliance support for client’s global Op Res program, advising on and contributing to delivery of Op Res program requirements across multiple relevant jurisdictions and domains, e.g.:
  • Cyber and information security
  • Incident management processes/communications and regulatory notification decisions
  • BCP/DR, service mapping and business impact assessments
  • Third party / vendor risk
  • Physical security
  • Be a partner and adviser to the business and product developers, helping to embed Op Res by design for new products and services
  • Contribute to drafting, review, maintenance and updates of policies and procedures relevant to the Op Res program
  • Draft responses to regulator enquiries, regulatory returns or other submissions
  • Prepare and present Compliance reporting for internal management/governance forums
  • Prepare and deliver training to business or other stakeholders on Compliance and regulatory matters, as needed
  • Help to create a best in class compliance department, looking to continually improve policies, procedures and controls as needed



Requirements

Must have:

  • Experience of Op Res, cyber security and/or information security program design and/or delivery, probably within a regulated financial services firm, or with a regulator or third party provider in the financial services industry
  • Good knowledge of global Op Res regulatory landscape, including familiarity with EU/UK Op Res regulations, and similar US financial markets regulatory provisions (e.g. CFTC cyber/information security)
  • Experience drafting and/or implementing Op Res, cyber security and/or information security policies, procedures and controls
  • Experience collaborating in a fast-paced team environment, and ability to effectively manage and prioritize varied workstreams
  • A curious, analytical mind, with ability and drive to problem-solve
  • Ability to work both independently with minimal supervision, as well as collaboratively in a team
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills
  • Enthusiasm for problem-solving, along with an eye for detail


Good to have:

  • Experience dealing with regulator requests, notifications or other submissions (whether on the firm or regulator side) would be a plus
  • Familiarity with financial services and markets regulation and electronic trading services
  • Experience supporting or reporting to a senior governance or risk management group/committee
