Requirements of the role

The FCA regulates the conduct of 45,000 firms in the UK to ensure our financial markets are honest, fair and competitive. Follow this link to find out more About the FCA.

You will support the development and implementation of the FCA’s Operational Resilience framework, partnering with Important Business (IB) Service and divisional Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to implement the framework, developing and maintaining robust resilience plans across the organisation.

Operational Resilience is a strategic priority for the FCA due to several drivers including the volume of change and transformation being undertaken, resilience responsibilities under Senior Manager Regime (SMR) and the increased threat profile and market responsibility. This role is key to supporting establishment of an embedded ‘Operational Resilience by Design’ ethos across the FCA in business practices to reduce the risk of disruption and ultimately reduce the risk of harm to consumers and markets.
