- Work closely with the ICT Security team to integrate BCDR planning into broader cyber defence and incident response frameworks.
- Assess and reduce cyber related operational risk by validating backup integrity, isolation controls, and recovery sequencing.
- Develop structured playbooks for recovery from ransomware, identity compromise, large-scale outage, and data loss scenarios.
- Provide technical leadership during major incidents, acting as a resilience SME during cyber or operational crises.
- Ensure new systems, projects, and architectural changes are designed with resilience and recoverability embedded by default.
- Maintain detailed documentation covering recovery workflows, escalation models, and crisis communication pathways.
- Build strong internal recovery capability, reducing reliance on external providers during high-pressure situations.
- Partner with senior stakeholders to ensure recovery capabilities meet client, regulatory, and governance expectations.
