The analyst will support UK Finance’s sector resilience activity, principally on the operations and delivery activity of the Cross Market Operational Resilience Group (CMORG), and the partnership with the Bank of England on the CMORG Project Management Office (PMO).
CMORG is a public-private partnership between UK Finance and the Bank of England and is the most senior body established to oversee collective action strategies to improve the resilience of the sector. Membership is made up of Chief Operating, Risk and Information Officers from across markets. It is supported by specialist subgroups led by industry participants to oversee collective action activity. The PMO plays a central role in managing CMORG and its priorities.
The analyst will support the day-to-day activity of the CMORG PMO, the design and delivery of CMORG’s workplans and communication, and engagement with the wider sector on sector resilience improvements. The role will also support broader resilience and cyber activity within UK Finance where required.
The role provides the opportunity to develop a detailed understanding of financial sector resilience issues, insight into industry and authorities’ perspectives, and an ability to drive public-private partnership workstreams.
The role will also support CMORG’s sector exercising programme and the oversight of the Sector Response Framework.
