Technology Resilience Lead

Join Barclays as a Technology Resilience Lead within the Tesco Resilience team. This role is responsible for technology resilience capabilities, including the implementation of resilience controls, embedding resilience-by-design principles, and partnering with change and architecture teams to ensure resilience considerations are integrated into technology initiatives from the outset. Acting as a trusted first line challenge and assurance partner, you will work closely with technology and business stakeholders to ensure compliance with resilience standards, assess the impact of platform, supplier, and technology changes, and provide effective check-and-challenge on resilience risks and controls. The role requires a strong understanding of technology resilience concepts, regulatory expectations, operational resilience, and dependency management, ensuring the bank remains protected and resilient in the face of change and evolving risks.

 

To be successful in this role, you will need the following:

• Extensive experience in technology recovery, resilience-by-design, recovery readiness assessments, and resilience testing across critical business services and technology platforms.
• Demonstrated ability to lead and coordinate cross-functional teams spanning Technology, Cyber Security, Business Operations, and Third-Party providers, delivering effective challenge, risk oversight, executive-level engagement, and stakeholder influence to achieve resilience objectives.
• Strong knowledge of cyber recovery strategies, incident containment, recovery tooling, disaster recovery practices, and industry-recognised cyber resilience frameworks.

 

Some other highly valued skills may include:

• Solid understanding of third-party and supplier resilience, including concentration risk, dependency mapping, critical supplier recovery planning, and supply chain resilience management.
• Experience developing resilience reporting, key metrics, dashboards, data analysis, and technology tooling to provide assurance, support decision-making, and drive continuous improvement.
• Proven ability to design, facilitate, test, and enhance response and recovery capabilities, including severe-but-plausible scenario exercises, crisis simulations, and compliance with operational resilience regulatory requirements.

 

You may be assessed on the key critical skills relevant for success in role, such as risk and controls, change and transformation, business acumen, strategic thinking and digital and technology, as well as job-specific technical skills.

 

The successful candidate can be based in Edinburgh (South Gyle Crescent) or Glasgow Campus.
