About the role

  • Senior Incident Manager responsible for high-severity incident management at Seccl’s embedded investment platform. Leading incident response and supporting operational resilience activities.

Responsibilities

  • Take ownership of incident triage and escalation — assessing impact, setting priorities and coordinating effective responses across teams to meet regulatory expectations
  • Lead incident calls and maintain clear, timely communication with stakeholders throughout the incident lifecycle, ensuring accurate documentation and transparent updates
  • Facilitate post-incident reviews (PIRs) that drive genuine improvement — identifying root causes, challenging assumptions and ensuring permanent fixes are delivered and tracked to closure
  • Analyse incident data to produce meaningful MI and insights — surfacing trends, informing decisions on Important Business Services and shaping impact tolerances
  • Support operational resilience activities, including scenario testing and crisis management exercises, to strengthen readiness and communication under pressure
  • Continuously improve our incident management framework, playbooks and tools — keeping them clear, effective and aligned with best practice
  • Build strong relationships across operational, technical, product and customer teams — fostering collaboration and ensuring incidents are managed efficiently and constructively

Requirements

  • You’re experienced in managing incidents and crisis situations — calm under pressure, decisive in command, and confident coordinating responses across teams
  • You have a strong grounding in operational resilience, with a solid understanding of FCA and PRA regulations (PS21/3, PS16/24, SYSC) — and you’re curious to stay ahead of evolving standards like DORA and CP24/28
  • You’re an excellent communicator and facilitator — able to bring clarity in the heat of an incident, challenge constructively, and influence senior stakeholders
  • You take a structured, analytical approach to problem-solving — using root cause analysis to turn issues into lasting improvements
  • You’re adaptable and thrive in a fast-moving, complex environment — balancing structure and control with flexibility and good judgement
  • You’re proactive and detail-oriented — able to juggle multiple priorities while keeping quality and follow-through high
  • You bring an interest in resilience standards and frameworks (ISO22301, ISO27031, BS11200, ISO22316, ISO31000) and ideally hold or are working toward certifications such as ITIL, IRM, BCI or DRII
  • You understand the intersections of operational, technology and cyber resilience — and are excited by the opportunity to strengthen them across the business
