The Role

Ready to help keep a global organization running when it matters most? Join us as a Manager of Vendor Resiliency and play a key role in strengthening how we prepare for, respond to, and recover from vendor disruptions.

  • A bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience is required, along with exposure to financial services or operational risk environments. Certifications in continuity planning are welcomed but not required and can be pursued after joining.
  • Success in this role comes from being able to assess risk thoughtfully, build strong relationships, and communicate clearly across both business and risk partners.
  • You are comfortable reviewing vendor resilience capabilities, identifying gaps, and working collaboratively to develop practical solutions.
  • You enjoy solving complex problems, asking thoughtful questions, and challenging existing approaches to drive improvement.
  • You are also comfortable managing multiple priorities in a changing environment and using tools like Excel, PowerPoint, and Word to organize information and communicate insights effectively.

Note: Fidelity will not provide immigration sponsorship for this position.
