Partner with Enterprise Risk, Cyber, IT, Corporate Real Estate, HR, Legal, Compliance, and Operations to ensure a coordinated operational resilience posture.

Crisis Management Leadership - Serve as primary crisis advisor to the CSO and Corporate Crisis Management Team (CMT) during multi-region or high-impact events (safety, security, cyber-physical, operational, reputational, geopolitical).

Ensure clear, rehearsed activation protocols and handoffs between GSOC, regional/site IMTs, and the CMT; assume incident commander / deputy CMT lead role when required.

Maintain and regularly update scenario playbooks (e.g., cyber outage with physical impact, regional conflict, terrorism, civil unrest, severe weather, major vendor failure).

Work closely with cross-functional teams to understand existing protocols for key functions and locations.

Ensure production of concise, decision-ready products (country profiles, flash alerts, risk outlooks, executive briefs) that drive specific crisis management and resiliency actions.

Define clear triggers from intelligence to action (travel limitations, office posture changes, additional security measures, CMT/IMT activation, exercise themes).

Exercises, Training & Culture - Design and run global crisis exercises for the C-suite and regional leadership; oversee regular regional and site tabletop and functional drills.

Set standards and content for resiliency and intelligence-related training (CMT, IMTs, GSOC, BC coordinators) and support awareness campaigns in partnership with HR and Communications.

Drive a resilience culture, ensuring leaders know their roles in crises and staff understand core response actions and reporting channels.

Continuous Improvement & External Engagement - Lead After-Action Reviews for major incidents and exercises; track and close corrective actions, feeding lessons into strategy, policies, and plans.

Maintain dashboards and metrics on crisis events, threat environment, and readiness, for regular CSO and Board-level reporting.

Represent the firm in industry forums on resiliency and threat topics; maintain working relationships with peer institutions, law enforcement, emergency services, and key vendors.

Strong understanding of global threat landscapes (geopolitical, terrorism, civil unrest, climate, cyber-physical) and their impact on financial markets, operations, and staff safety.

Deep familiarity with relevant standards and regulatory regimes (e.g., ISO 22301, operational resilience frameworks in UK/EU/US/APAC).

Exceptional executive communication and influence skills, capable of synthesizing complex information into clear recommendations under time pressure.
