The Role
We are seeking an experienced Delivery Lead to help shape and deliver the next generation of supplier resilience capabilities across a large, complex and highly regulated organisation.
The role will focus on two strategic priorities:
· Enhancing the existing resilience supplier assurance and joint testing capabilities to ensure their scalability, improve automation and drive meaningful insight into the resilience of critical third parties and their wider dependency ecosystems.
· Embedding resilience-by-design principles into the sourcing and supplier lifecycle, ensuring resilience considerations influence key commercial and risk decisions from the earliest stages of supplier engagement.
Experience & Skills Required
· Strong experience in operational resilience, third-party risk management, outsourcing or supplier assurance within a regulated environment, ideally financial services.
· Proven ability to design and implement risk-based assurance, testing or resilience frameworks that assess real-world resilience outcomes and capabilities.
· Experience developing and delivering supplier resilience testing programmes, including scenario-based exercises, service recovery validation and disruption testing.
· Strong understanding of supplier dependencies, supply chains, subcontractor ecosystems and nth-party risk.
· Experience applying threat-led approaches to resilience assessment, testing and assurance activities.
· Ability to design scalable assurance and testing models capable of supporting large and diverse supplier populations.
· Strong understanding of supplier operating models, including outsourced services, managed services, cloud, SaaS and technology platforms.
· Experience embedding resilience requirements into sourcing, onboarding and supplier lifecycle governance processes.
· Ability to define resilience standards, decision frameworks, risk tolerances and governance mechanisms that support informed risk-based decision-making.
· Strong analytical, problem-solving and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work across Procurement, Risk, Technology, Operational Resilience, Cyber Security and business teams.
· Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate complex resilience challenges into practical solutions and executive-level reporting.
Desirable Experience
· Knowledge of regulatory and industry expectations relating to operational resilience, outsourcing and third-party risk management.
· Experience with supplier testing, resilience assessment, threat modelling, dependency mapping or resilience assurance methodologies.
· Experience supporting large-scale resilience, risk or third-party risk transformation programmes.
· Knowledge of resilience tooling, automation capabilities and data solutions that improve resilience insight, reporting and scalability.
· Experience leveraging AI and advanced analytics techniques to reduce manual effort, improve risk analysis and derive insights from complex or disparate data sources.
