Job Title
VP - Operational Resilience Risk Manager
Job Description
Step into a region-wide Operational Resilience Risk leadership role at Rabobank, a global cooperative bank known for its mission-driven focus on food, agriculture, and energy and its extensive international footprint. As operational resilience rises sharply in importance across financial institutions, driven by growing regulatory scrutiny, digital complexity, and heightened third-party and cyber risks, this role places you at the forefront of shaping how a major international bank prepares for and withstands disruption.
Our Shared Future:
You and Your Job
As an Operational Resilience Risk Manager you will be successful when you safeguard the bank's ability to withstand and recover from disruptions, ensuring Rabobank remains safe, resilient, and operational for its customers.
The Operational Resilience Risk Manager is responsible for designing, implementing, and monitoring an effective regional framework for technology, third-party, and business-continuity risks. In this role, you strengthen Rabobank's ability to anticipate, withstand, and recover from disruptions by providing second-line oversight across the region. You work closely with business leaders, IT, vendor management, and Global risk teams to align practices and embed operational resilience throughout the organization. Ultimately, you help safeguard Rabobank's operational stability and customer trust by ensuring a well-controlled, resilient operating environment.
Job Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain the regional operational resilience oversight framework, spanning information technology, information security (cyber), third-party, and business-continuity risks, to ensure alignment with global standards and regulatory expectations, while helping shift the organization from siloed, business-line risk views toward a connected, value-chain-based resilience model.
• Provide strong second-line challenge across technology, third-party, and continuity risks, reviewing assessments, assurance reports, BCM deliverables, and risk treatment plans to ensure weaknesses are identified and addressed across the end-to-end value chain rather than in isolated business units.
• Collaborate with IT, business stakeholders, vendor management, and global risk communities to unify risk practices across the region, integrating third-party dependencies and aligning IT recovery and BCM objectives in a way that reflects how services truly flow across the bank's value chain.
• Lead and support regional scenario analysis and resilience testing, using insights to validate continuity objectives, identify vulnerabilities across interconnected processes, and strengthen the bank's enterprise-wide ability to withstand severe-but-plausible disruptions.
• Produce clear, timely operational resilience reporting and deliver targeted training, giving senior management and risk partners visibility into cross-value-chain risks, trends, and remediation needs, and supporting a consistent resilience culture across the region.

Your Promise to Us:
To be considered for the VP - Operational Resilience Risk Manager role, you must have:

• Bachelor's degree or a minimum 3 years' experience in operational risk, technology risk, resilience, business continuity, audit, or related field.

• Ability to work effectively with first-line teams and build strong cross-functional relationships.
• Basic understanding of technology, third-party, and operational resilience concepts.
• Strong communication and analytical skills.
• Ability to travel regionally, up to 15%.
• Legally authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. Rabobank is unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa for this position.
