We are currently seeking an experienced professional to join our team in the role of Associate Director, Software Engineering Specialist.

In this role, you will: 

• Embed resilience and control requirements into EUS Service Governance routines (service reviews, quality forums, action tracking, reporting) so resilience is managed alongside service performance.
• Partner with Service Governance leads to define consistent measures, thresholds, and continuous improvement loops for resilience outcomes.
• Provide risk-based insights to EUS leadership to prioritise remediation, target investment, and make clear risk/benefit trade-offs.
• Influence EUS platform leads and cross-CTO stakeholders to align on resilience outcomes, dependencies, and delivery commitments.
• Coordinate delivery across IT Operations, Cybersecurity, Technology Risk, Operational Resilience/BCM, and Third-Party Risk to ensure consistent execution and escalation.
• Operationalise evolving regulatory and control expectations (e.g., TRCB, observability/testing, cyber mandates, INCM) and maintain audit-ready evidence with timely gap closure.
• Run/support resilience maturity assessments, translate findings into prioritised roadmaps, and maintain KRIs/KPIs and executive dashboards (control health, testing status, top risks, remediation progress).
• Strengthen accountability and capability: identify systemic risks, support incident/exercise escalations and governance communications, and deliver playbooks/templates/coaching to uplift resilience practices across EUS.

To be successful in this role:

• Experience in operational resilience, technology risk, controls, service reliability, or IT governance in a regulated environment.
• Strong understanding of control design, evidence, and risk-based prioritisation.
• Ability to translate mandates into practical operational/technical actions and measurable outcomes.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills in a matrix environment.
• Experience producing metrics and executive reporting; strong written communication.
• Composed, structured approach during incidents/exercises.
• Familiarity with observability, resilience testing, and service management practices (monitoring, runbooks, problem management, recovery testing).
• Exposure to third-party resilience/supplier risk.
