Operational Resilience Americas Department

The Americas Operational Resilience Department enable the bank to effectively manage business threats and mitigate risk of disruptions. The department ensures readiness of each entity as well as the ability to respond adequately to disruptive events, minimizing the impact on the services 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 a seasoned Operational Resilience Subject Matter Expert 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.

This role will work in close partnership with divisional leadership to ensure the program is comprehensive, effective, and aligned with regulatory expectations and industry best practices. Key areas of focus include business continuity, disaster recovery, technology testing, third-party resilience, and data resilience.

This position offers a unique opportunity to shape the direction of Mizuho Americas' resilience initiatives. The program lead will be responsible for the implementation, and execution of the operational resilience framework, policies, and governance structures. Fostering transparency through the delivery of analytics and insights on risk and control indicators is a core component of the program.
