About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define and evolve the enterprise technology resiliency strategy, aligned to business critical services, regulatory expectations, and long‑term technology roadmaps
Establish resiliency design principles and patterns for cloud, hybrid, and on‑prem platforms (e.g., multi‑region, multi‑AZ, active/active, degradation strategies)
Influence architecture decisions to ensure resiliency, recoverability, and operability are built in from inception—not retrofitted
Partner with enterprise and domain architects to embed resiliency requirements into standards, reference architectures, and engineering practices
Support identification and mapping of Important Business Services and underpinning technology dependencies
Translate business impact tolerances into actionable technology recovery objectives (RTO, RPO, MTO)
Assess end‑to‑end service resilience, identifying single points of failure across applications, data, infrastructure, vendors, and people
Drive remediation strategies for material resiliency gaps, balancing risk reduction with real‑world delivery constraints
Act as a trusted advisor to engineering teams on fault tolerance, high availability, disaster recovery, and graceful degradation
Review major platform and system designs from a resiliency and operability perspective
Promote modern resiliency practices such as: Chaos engineering and failure injection, Automation‑first recovery, Observability and service‑level indicators, Immutable infrastructure and infrastructure‑as‑code
Shape the firm’s approach to resilience testing, including scenario‑based testing, disaster recovery exercises, and severe‑but‑plausible events
Design and participate in enterprise simulation exercises involving technology and business stakeholders
Drive a culture of continuous learning through post‑incident analysis focused on systemic improvement rather than blame
Ensure lessons learned feed directly into architecture, standards, and engineering practices
Partner with Risk, Compliance, and Audit to ensure resiliency practices meet internal policy and external regulatory expectations
Contribute to regulatory responses, exams, and remediation programs related to operational and technology resilience
Help define meaningful, decision‑useful resiliency metrics and management reporting
