Additionally, the role will advance the firm's resilience, recovery, and resolution programme on a global scale, developing and implementing the firm's strategy to enhance our ability to respond to and recover from disruptions, particularly by through use of enhanced technology.
The role will also be responsible for designing and implementing an efficient and effective controls framework for the BCM, InfoSec, Risk, Audit, and Data Governance teams. This will involve utilising advanced technology, including workflow tools, to streamline processes and enhance control mechanisms, continuously monitoring and improving the controls framework to ensure it remains effective and aligned with the firm's objectives.

This will be a single contributor role initially but may have direct reports at a later stage.
