Job Details

Job Description: The Business Continuity Analyst supports the execution of the bank's operational resilience testing and simulation. This role ensures the bank's readiness to respond to severe but plausible disruptive events—including wide-area power outages, cyber-attacks, infrastructure failures, third-party disruptions, geopolitical unrest, and climate-related crises. It also includes oversight of annual recovery strategy testing, executive and staff training, notification exercises, and third-party validation testing.

The role ensures alignment with global regulatory requirements, including the FFIEC, DORA, OCC, and PRA expectations. Success in this role will be measured by the ability to drive outcomes-based testing, validate that critical business services can remain within impact tolerances, and foster a culture of proactive resilience and continuous learning.

Key Responsibilities:
Testing, Simulation & Training
  • Testing of severe-but-plausible scenario simulations including:
    • Wide-area power and infrastructure failures
    • Cyber events (e.g., ransomware, Active Directory compromise)
    • Third-party outages and supply chain disruptions
    • Geopolitical incidents and climate-related events
Core Competencies:
• Crisis & Scenario Thinking
o Ability to simulate highly disruptive events and test real-world recovery capabilities.
o Ability to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously, determine prioritization, and work under minimal supervision.
  • Outcome-Focused Mindset

    o Strong understanding of how to link testing outputs to business service continuity, impact tolerances, and internal client outcomes.
  • Regulatory Acumen

    o Familiarity with regulatory requirements for operational resilience testing.
Mandatory Skills: 3-5 years of experience running and conducting operational crisis simulations
