Responsibilities

Business Continuity Management (BCM) – supporting the Business Resiliency Team to deliver the BNY Investments response to the BNY Enterprise Resiliency Office (ERO) annual BCM programme, ensuring the validity of BNY Investments data held within the ERO system of Record (FUSION). This work includes: liaison with global business areas to complete the annual business impact analysis work and the resultant updates to the business continuity plans; analysis of third-party dependencies; and completion of recovery strategies and critical vendor testing.
Incident & Crisis Management (ICM) –supporting the UK-based Deputy Business Resiliency Lead to deliver the BNY Investments global emergency response protocols, including taking full ownership of these protocols should a disruption occur outside of UK business hours. This work includes: administration of the Incident & Crisis Management Team (ICMT) ensuring membership is appropriate and that members are aware of their responsibilities; supporting the ICMT to manage the business through a live significant business disruption and the associated recovery process (includes ‘bunker’ meeting administration, maintenance of the Crisis Response Checklist, tracking discussion points and actions); activation of emergency notification messaging to employees (via XMatters) when required; and delivery of an annual ICMT scenario test.
Contingency Processes – contributing to the design, documentation and testing of bespoke procedures covering the loss of certain critical third-party dependencies.

On request from the BNY Office of Recovery & Resolution (ORRP) this work involves the review and validation of data mapping produced to show an inventory of all operational assets, third parties and critical corporate function services that would support continuity during a BNY failure and potentially be included in an eventual separation of BNY Investments from BNY. The maintenance of BNY Investment-related narratives in several BNY-Level recovery plan documents is also required. Note: as a Global Systemically Important Bank, BNY has a regulatory obligation to maintain a RRP for a rapid and orderly resolution in the event of material financial distress or failure of the firm.
