Department overview:
The Prudential Planning team is responsible for delivering Recovery Resolution Plan (RRP), key liquidity and capital planning initiatives for Nomura European Holdings (NEHS, the European consolidation group), primarily driven by UK and European regulatory requirements. The team ensures NEHS is adequately capitalised at all times as well as identifying any threats to the viability of the firm and helps the management identify appropriate actions. The team is responsible for the development and coordination of the local ICAAP, ILAAP and RRP, including wind-down planning, performing resolvability assessments and coordinating initiatives to guarantee continuity in resolution. 
The team works very closely with Treasury, Risk, Business Resilience, GM, Programme Delivery and GM Change teams. The team structure is lean, sitting within the Controller function of the Finance department in EMEA. The team spearheads the following:
•    Recovery Planning
•    Resolvability Assessment Framework (RAF)
•    Trading activity Wind-down (TWD) Planning 
•    Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP)
•    Individual Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process (ILAAP)
•    Contingency Funding Planning
•    Ad-hoc strategic regulatory initiatives
These initiatives have been at the top of regulator’s agenda and therefore the Board’s agenda in recent years. In particular, the team has a focus to respond to the recovery & resolution planning related items, which have been at the centre piece of the latest regulatory developments from the PRA, Bank of England and other global regulators. 
The team also acts as the overall RRP SME for the Nomura Group and has a strong influence on the shaping of the Group RRP framework working closely with the NHI Group RRP team and the Financial Planning & Strategy team in Tokyo.

Key Responsibilities:
The firm is looking to recruit an individual at VP level to support execution of the Prudential Planning team’s core responsibilities. The team is particularly interested in applying a Project Management approach to deliver these initiatives. 
•    Coordinating the delivery of the RRP and the Trading Wind-Down Plan (TWD), including the preparation of documentation and analysis (scenarios & remediation options). 
•    Support in the coordination of the ICAAP, ILAAP and CFP 
•    Involvement in and management of multiple prudential projects and collaborating with project managers, both locally and in other regions.

•    A candidate who may be interested in focusing on a specific subject area and gain more technical knowledge on RRP and capital planning rather than engaging in generic ‘change the bank’ projects
