As a Barclays Tech Resilience Lead you will be responsible for driving the successful implementation of small to medium-scale projects across Group Resilience. You will deliver frameworks which determine how resilience is implemented across Barclays, ensuring that colleagues have access to the technologies and buildings that they need to deliver services to customers and clients. You will also ensure business procedures are underpinned by robust and clear Policies & Standards, processes, metrics and reporting at all levels of the organisation.
Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, with 329 years of success, quality and innovation behind us. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity - helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive, and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.
Working Flexibly
We're committed to providing a supportive and inclusive culture and environment for you to work in. This environment recognises and supports ways to balance your personal needs, alongside the professional needs of our business. Providing the opportunity for all our employees, globally to work flexibly empowers each of us to work in a way that suits our lives as well as enabling us to better service our customers' and clients' needs. Whether you have family commitments or you're a carer, or whether you need study time or wish to pursue personal interests, our approach to working flexibly is designed to help you balance your life. If you would like some flexibility, then please discuss this with the hiring manager, and your request will be reviewed subject to business needs.
We are currently in the early stages of implementing a hybrid working environment, which means that many colleagues spend part of their working hours at home and part in the office, depending on the nature of the role they are in. We're flexible on how this works and it may continue to change and evolve. Depending on your team, typically this means that colleagues spend a minimum of between 20% to 60% of their time in the office, which could be over a week, a month or a quarter. However, some colleagues may choose to spend more time in the office over a typical period than their role type requires. We also have a flexible working process where, subject to business needs, all colleagues globally are able to request work patterns to reflect their personal circumstances. Please discuss the detail of the working pattern options for the role with the hiring manager.
What will you be doing?
• Delivering projects within the Cyber Resilience Portfolio to plan, budget, and agreed quality and governance standards
• Managing execution and engagement with wider Technology teams to drive the right outcomes to meet the Resilience requirements
• Maintaining a future focus to ensure any risks or dependencies are tracked and that impacts on any other services/functions are considered and managed effectively
• Building trusted relationships with key stakeholders that help influence programme outcomes, advocating for change and connecting executives and delivery teams
• Controlling the scope of projects, ensuring that rigorous change control is exercised and that all project or programme status reporting is accurate, informative, and timely
• Ensuring projects meet requirements of Accountable Executives and that handover to BAU are managed against agreed acceptance criteria and to a defined plan
• Managing the hand-over of products and services delivered by projects being managed to the relevant operational functions
• Maintaining a good knowledge of current practice and awareness of current developments within own area of expertise
What we're looking for:
• Experience in business and technology change delivery and resilience with a strong understanding of these disciplines in the financial services industry
• Experience in Hosting, Database and Middleware technologies
• Knowledge of Cybersecurity frameworks and how to drive execution aligned to their best practise
• Experience of Resilience by Design principles and how they apply to building and testing resilience
Skills that will help you in the role:
• Experience of working on Information or Cyber Security projects
• Knowledge of the broader functions in the Bank e.g. Technology and Operations and stakeholders in your area of specialism
• Experience of managing in a way which considers the wider implication, historical context, future impact and strategies
• Ability to identify and monitor risks and implement appropriate responses for mitigation or resolution progressed at pace to avoid unnecessary delays
Where will you be working?
Our new state-of-the-art Campus, right in the heart of Glasgow is a hub of creative collaboration. A place where everyone can bring their true selves to work and reach their full potential. Home to 5,000 of our colleagues, our Tradeston campus will support the community in more ways than one - by creating thousands of new career opportunities and celebrating local artists. A short walk from Central Station on the south of the Clyde, it will be a key location for the Barclays business that will deepen our ties with the city and its communities.
