- Partner with teams across Operations, Technology, Risk, Compliance and the wider business to embed resilience best practice
- Conduct resilience assessments of critical third-party suppliers and support broader third-party risk management activities
- Produce high-quality management information, dashboards and governance reporting for Executive and Board-level forums
