You’ll work with some of the UK’s most forward‑thinking organisations, helping them build robust, integrated resilience programmes that actually work when it matters most.

Key Responsibilities
Client‑Facing Excellence (70%)
- Lead resilience assessments combining business continuity and IT service continuity perspectives
- Design and facilitate crisis management exercises that test both business processes and technology recovery
- Develop integrated BC/DR strategies that align business needs with IT capabilities
- Present to C‑suite executives on resilience programme maturity and recommendations
- Mentor client teams on best practices for business‑technology resilience integration
Business Development & Innovation (20%)
- Contribute to proposals and tenders, particularly those requiring technical BC/DR expertise
- Identify opportunities to expand client relationships through integrated resilience services
- Support pre‑sales activities with prospects seeking comprehensive resilience solutions
Internal Excellence (10%)
- Collaborate with technology teams to ensure seamless service delivery
- Contribute to methodologies and intellectual property development
- Mentor junior consultants in technical aspects of resilience
What We’re Looking For:
Essential Experience
- 2‑5 years in business continuity, crisis management, or IT service management
- Solid understanding of IT infrastructure, cloud services, and disaster recovery concepts
- Experience facilitating exercises and delivering training to diverse audiences
- Strong project management skills with ability to manage multiple client workstreams
- Excellent written communication – crafting reports that influence major business decisions
Technical Skills
- Understanding of RTO/RPO concepts and how they translate between business and IT
- Familiarity with ITIL, ISO 22301, and ideally ISO 27031 (IT Disaster Recovery)
- Appreciation of cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) and their resilience capabilities
- Knowledge of backup, replication, and recovery technologies (you don’t need to configure them!)
Professional Qualities
- CBPI qualified or committed to achieving within 12 months
- Natural curiosity about how technology enables business objectives
- Confidence to challenge clients constructively and diplomatically
- Enthusiasm for continuous learning in our rapidly evolving field
