The role will work across all business areas and geographies, partnering with senior leadership to develop, implement, and maintain world-class resilience plans. You’ll lead BC/DR integration, manage critical supplier and IT resilience programmes, and ensure compliance with ISO22301 standards.

Key requirements:

• Strong technical knowledge of IT systems
• Proven ability to engage and influence senior stakeholders
• Relevant professional qualifications (MBCI/FBCI or equivalent) preferred
