  • Stakeholder Engagement: Build and maintain strong relationships with internal business owners, technology teams, risk functions, and external third-party partners to foster a collaborative approach to resilience.

  • Reporting: Prepare and present regular reports on the status, risks, and effectiveness of the third-party operational resilience program to senior management and relevant governance committees.
