We re looking for an experienced Disaster Recovery professional to join a well established Business Continuity function for a large enterprise client.

Tracking Business Impact Analysis and recovery objectives for critical systems, and spotting where things can be improved
-

Your experience:
-
Solid experience in Disaster Recovery or Business Continuity, ideally within a regulated or enterprise environment
-

-

-
Experience with regulatory frameworks like DORA is a strong plus, particularly if you’ve worked in financial services
