DORA Program Manager and Integrated Testing
The Americas Operational Resilience Department enables the bank to effectively manage business threats and mitigate the risk of disruptions. The department ensures the readiness of each entity as well as the ability to respond adequately to disruptive events, minimizing the impact on the delivery of the bank's critical operations.
The department addresses both Resilience Transformation and Resilience Operations. The transformation aspect encompasses resilience strategy, program execution, and the development of new capabilities across the organization. Meanwhile, resilience operations provide visibility and readiness in daily activities, including new product launches, continuity testing, and event or crisis management.
The functions performed span all lines of business and corporate functions across the Americas region to mitigate risks and disruptions through an efficient and sustainable framework, effectively reducing risk and enabling Mizuho to meet growing business expectations and regulatory requirements.
As part of Mizuho Americas' ongoing efforts to building a more resilient organization, we are seeking an Operational Resilience practitioner to join our team. This individual will play a critical role in enhancing the firm's ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptions to business operations.
The successful candidate will contribute to the various layers of the Operational Resilience Program, from overseeing DORA regulatory program, supporting the Critical and Important Functions resilience, to ensuring efficient testing strategy and its execution. This role will support the bank to maintain a transparent view on real resilience abilities with a robust testing program. This role will work in close partnership with the pillars' teams to ensure the program's effective evaluation of its maturity, aligned with regulatory expectations and industry's best practices.
The new team member will be responsible for supporting the compliance program on DORA, the management of the transformation as well as the integrated framework rollout across the organization, with a strong emphasis on the "integrated testing program."
