Support BCM testing and reporting by planning exercises and developing accurate, insightful business reports using Power BI, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Required Qualifications:
3+ years of experience in incident management, business continuity management or risk management.
Experience developing and implementing recovery documentation including, but not limited to, business continuity plans, crisis management plans, and relevant documents such as vendor or employee call trees.
Familiarity with the Service Now platform, Archer and Fusion.
Preferred Qualifications:
Proven experience managing communications with senior leadership and key stakeholders during business disruptions.
Strong communication and diplomacy skills, with the ability to clearly convey complex and sensitive information to diverse audiences.
Working knowledge of regulatory requirements and relevant industry practices, with the ability to apply them in a business continuity or risk management context.
When you join our team:
We’ll empower you to learn and grow the career you want.
