Hours of Work: 37.5 hours weekly

Job Overview:

The Compliance Analyst (Business Continuity & Resilience focus) supports the Risk & Compliance function through audit/standards support and evidence activities, while also contributing to Business Continuity and Resilience as a meaningful part of the remit. The role supports the operation of key BCMS activities (ISO 22301 aligned), coordination of BIAs, continuity planning/exercises, and audit-ready reporting. Business continuity is included but not exclusive; the role is expected to flex across broader Risk & Compliance priorities, including risk management support and audit operations (evidence and remediation support), as required.

Main Duties & Responsibilities:

• Support audit and standards activities, including evidence collection/validation and remediation tracking, and maintain continued participation in internal audits.

• Operate and maintain the ISO 22301-aligned BCMS, including required documentation, schedules/cadence activities, and readiness inputs.

• Coordinate Business Impact Analyses (BIAs) and maintain recovery assumptions and dependencies (e.g., RTO/RPO) to inform continuity requirements.

• Support continuity plan lifecycle management and coordinate exercising/testing activities; document outcomes and track improvement actions.

• Provide concise audit-ready reporting (status, coverage, key gaps/dependencies, and action tracking) for stakeholders and leadership.

• Support third-party/vendor assurance activities (including annual review follow-ups) and coordinate collection/validation of assurance artefacts as required.

• Coordinate policy and document workflow for Risk & Compliance artefacts (drafting support, review routing, version control, approvals, publication/refresh) and support evidence traceability.

• Support day-to-day risk management activities as required (e.g., maintaining risk records, tracking actions, and supporting risk review inputs). The scope and prioritisation of responsibilities may be adjusted by the manager to meet evolving Risk & Compliance priorities, business needs, and project workload.

Essential Criteria:

• Bachelor's degree (or equivalent experience) in a relevant discipline (e.g., business, risk, technology, or related).

• Experience supporting audit/evidence activities and operating in a cross-functional compliance environment.

• Experience supporting business continuity and resilience activities (BCMS, BIAs, planning, exercising/testing) is desirable.

• Strong organisation, stakeholder engagement, and written communication skills; able to work independently and across organisational levels.

Desirable Criteria:

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel); SharePoint/document collaboration skills desirable.

• Business continuity certification (e.g., AMBCI/CBCI or equivalent) desirable.
