DORA Program Manager

Apply

Risk and Compliance helps Quanloop operate with clear standards: policies, practical controls and documentation that supports consistent decision-making. You’ll work across compliance, legal documentation/contracts and resilience topics (including DORA), partnering closely with Engineering, Infrastructure and Client Operations.

In this role you’ll focus on DORA coordination.

Job Responsibilities

  • Run the DORA delivery plan: maintain the roadmap, workstreams, milestones, dependencies and evidence pack.
  • Translate DORA obligations into practical controls teams can implement (policies, procedures, testing routines, metrics), with clear owners and deadlines.
  • Coordinate major ICT-related incident reporting readiness: classification workflow, internal escalation, approvals, and submission discipline (initial/intermediate/final).
  • Own the internal Register of Information process: completeness, change control, validation checks, and annual submission readiness.
  • Coordinate ICT third-party and outsourcing readiness with Operations/Vendor Management: contract readiness, oversight routines, dependency mapping and exit planning for critical/important services.
  • Drive operational resilience testing coordination (BCP/DR, incident response exercises and related control testing) and track remediation actions to closure.
  • Run a predictable governance cadence: Steering Committee packs, decision logs, action tracking and escalations when delivery is blocked.
  • Maintain clear records of decisions, approvals, evidence updates and risk acceptances so the programme does not rely on reconstructing documentation later.

What good looks like in the first 3–6 months

  • The DORA programme runs on a clear cadence: owners know what is due, what “good” looks like, and what evidence is required.
  • Incident reporting and the Register of Information operate as controlled processes (not ad-hoc exercises), including predictable approvals and traceability.
  • At least one material readiness gap (typically third-party oversight, testing discipline, or evidence maintenance) is closed in a way that sticks.

Key Topics

  • DORA fundamentals and governance expectations
  • Operational resilience and ICT control concepts (incident management, BCP/DR, testing)
  • Evidence-led compliance and audit trail discipline
  • ICT third-party risk and outsourcing concepts (critical/important services, exits, oversight)
  • Cross-functional programme delivery and stakeholder alignment
  • Reporting and escalation principles in regulated environments

Qualifications

  • Relevant experience delivering cross-functional compliance, risk, or operational resilience programmes in a regulated environment (financial services preferred).
  • Comfortable translating regulatory obligations into workable internal standards, routines and evidence requirements.
  • Strong documentation discipline: able to maintain structured records, approvals and evidence packs without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
  • Able to communicate clearly in English, in writing and in meetings, with senior stakeholders.
  • Practical judgement: able to be firm on essentials (deadlines, evidence quality, escalation) while keeping delivery workable for IT/Ops teams.
  • Comfortable partnering with Engineering/Infrastructure, Security and Operations/Vendor Management stakeholders.
  • Able to run a governance cadence and escalate decisions through a Steering Committee / Management Committee when required.

Other skills

  • Precise writing and attention to detail.
  • Calm, structured approach under time pressure (including incident-related deadlines).
  • Ability to challenge, unblock and follow through without relying on formal authority.
  • Professional judgement on what must be documented vs what is noise.
