Role Description

• The Global Operational Resilience, Business Continuity Management (BCM) and Crisis Management (CM) Risk Specialist is an important role within the ORM globally.
• This role reports to the Regional OR Risk Manager

Overview

The purpose of the Operational Risk Management (ORM) function is to ensure that the bank's Operational Risk exposure is adequately managed in line with the group wide risk appetite and ORM framework.

To achieve this the ORM function requires:

• Risk Managers with the experience, seniority and capability to assess complex risks and intervene where they lie outside the bank's risk appetite.
• A comprehensive, integrated, simple and easy to use OR Framework with supporting technology that assists risk identification, assessment and remediation.
• Strong understanding of the businesses combined with regular engagement which would allow ORM to provide support, review and challenge in line with the 3 Lines of Defence Model.
• Close coordination with all Second Line Risk Type Controllers to facilitate the production of a holistic view of OR.
• Proper consideration of emerging risks, rather than just current issues.
• Effective governance combined with supporting MI that facilitates decision making.

ORM is a matrix organisation with business / region and functional specialist axes.

Operational Resilience refers to the ability of firms, Financial & Market Institutions (FMIs) and the sector as a whole, to prevent, respond to, recover and learn from operational disruptions. It is the ability to adapt rapidly to the changing environmental and business conditions.

Building on mature Business Continuity and Crisis Management programs, DB's Operational Resilience framework will enable the bank to identify its most critical services, functions and develop associated risk appetite. Focusing investment and resources where they are needed most, the Operational Resilience team will help the bank to build resistance to failure, establish resilient operations and develop necessary playbooks for coordinated response and recovery. A program of education and awareness training, coupled with regular scenario-based exercising and detailed risk reporting, will help the bank to identify exposures and areas for remediation.

As a 2nd Line of Defence Risk Type Controller, the Operational Resilience team is also required to help the business to identify, assess, manage and report on business process disruption risk where appropriate. Through regular engagement with all divisions, the team will also perform oversight and challenge, as well as veto where required.
