Did you know? or What’s new
The Bank of Canada delivers services that are essential to the economic well-being of the nation. To ensure that those time-critical services continue to be delivered during a disruptive event, the Bank has in place a Continuity of Operations Program (COOP). The COOP Program encompasses all disciplines necessary to enable recovery of essential Bank services subsequent to a disruptive event, emphasizing the protection of Bank employees and property, and the protection of the Bank’s reputation in Canada and internationally. In addition to business continuity and corporate incident management oversight, the COOP team proactively develops and implements initiatives in support of operational resilience and is recruiting to bolster our efforts in this regard.
What you will do
Reporting to the Continuity of Operations Program (COOP) Director and with minimal guidance from the Principal Analyst who provides day to day oversight to members of this work stream, the Senior Analyst will focus their effort on the successful execution of operational resilience objectives through collaboration with staff in the Technology and Compliance workstream in the development and implementation of projects to enhance the operational resilience of departments across the Bank. By contributing to the execution of all tactical objectives within the Technology and Compliance work stream, the Senior Analyst supports the Principal Analyst in the promotion of infrastructure and operational resilience at the Bank.
In this position, the Senior Analyst will focus mainly on two initiatives in support of strengthening the Bank’s operational resilience while supporting other COOP initiatives as required.
- The Business Data Resilience (BDR) initiative is to enhance the Bank’s ability to recover from a major Bank data loss event by ensuring business lines have the necessary tools and processes. The Senior Analyst will support and lead various aspects of this initiative that will require significant coordination and interaction with all departments. This will include updating documented processes to reconstruct and reconcile missing data for time-critical processes or transform manually created data from manual workarounds in the recovery phase following a data loss event.
- The Business Impact Assessment (BIA) enhancement and digitalization initiative seeks to transition the BIA into a new system to streamline documentation and maintenance, including the creation of workflows. Further, this initiative seeks to expand the scope of the BIA, adding confidentiality and integrity measures to existing availability measures.
The Senior Analyst coaches junior staff and transfers knowledge in order to develop the requisite skills to deliver on the work stream’s mandate and in doing so fosters a positive working environment that motivates the team to excel. The Senior Analyst collaborates across all COOP work streams and with other Corporate Security Service business lines to contribute to the resilience of business processes against threats and vulnerabilities. Recognizing the COOP Program’s Bank-wide mandate, the Senior Analyst develops and nurtures key relationships across the Bank in order to preserve the integrity of the Program.
