Autonomous Portfolio Ownership: Step into full ownership of your portfolio within 90 days, allowing you to drive tangible resilience metrics and demonstrate leadership.

Responsibilities
Framework Execution: Execute an established Business Continuity Management (BCM) framework effectively without the need to interpret regulations from scratch.

BIA & BCP Management: Direct and manage Business Impact Analyses (BIA), business continuity plans (BCP), and comprehensive test strategies across your portfolio.

Qualifications
Must Haves:

Financial Industry Experience: 4 to 6+ years of dedicated, hands-on Business Continuity experience within the financial services domain.

Nice to Haves:

Professional Certification: Certified Business Continuity Professional (CBCP) designation is strongly preferred.
