A global banking client is hiring a VP-level Operational Resilience practitioner to help mature and embed resilience capabilities across the UK and Europe.
This is a first line role within a structured team (ED, Director, VPs and AVPs) and is focused on practical implementation rather than advisory work.
The Role
You will lead key elements of the Operational Resilience framework, including:
*CIF / Important Business Services methodology – identifying the most critical parts of the bank
*Impact tolerances – defining how much disruption is unacceptable and aligning UK and EMEA approaches
*Scenario design and prioritisation – e.g. cyber outages, payments disruption, client impact during live incidents
*Direct involvement in scenario testing execution
*Supporting governance and improving stakeholder engagement
*Bringing stronger cadence and structure to reduce reactive fire-fighting


The focus is iterative improvement and embedding sustainable resilience capability across the region.


What We’re Looking For
*Practical Operational Resilience experience within banking
*Strong understanding of CIF/IBS methodology and impact tolerance frameworks
*Experience implementing resilience capabilities end-to-end
*Evidence of sustained delivery ownership rather than short-term engagements
*Confidence influencing senior stakeholders and driving accountability
*Ability to mentor and develop junior team members
Banking experience is essential from a regulatory and methodology perspective.
This is a visible VP opportunity for a hands-on resilience practitioner looking to lead meaningful capability development within a complex financial services environment.
This role is based in London, with an expectation of two days per week in the Liverpool Street office and flexibility for the remainder of the week.
