Operating within the Cybersecurity organization, this leader provides program ownership and enterprise oversight, partnering closely with Business leaders, IT / Disaster Recovery teams, Enterprise Risk Management, Audit, and Regulatory stakeholders to ensure consistency, effectiveness, and maturity of resiliency capabilities.

• Ensure BIAs are consistently executed by the business with appropriate rigor and alignment to policy.

• Validate business-defined recovery objectives (e.g., RTO, MTD, dependencies) for completeness, consistency, and risk-based justification.

• Provide quality assurance and challenge to ensure BIAs reflect real operating realities and cyber threat considerations.

Program Oversight, Assurance & Reporting

• Provide program-level oversight of enterprise BCP and cyber resiliency activities, focusing on: Completeness, Consistency, Risk alignment, Maturity progression.

• Develop and deliver executive reporting on resiliency posture, gaps, trends, and remediation status.

• Measure and report program maturity against recognized frameworks and internal expectations.

Testing, Exercises & Lessons Learned

• Coordinate and govern enterprise resiliency exercises, including tabletop simulations and recovery validation activities.

• Ensure testing scenarios incorporate cyber-driven disruption, realistic failure conditions, and cross-functional dependencies.

• Lead post-exercise and post-incident lessons learned processes, driving actionable improvements across policy, plans, and execution.

• Validate that testing outcomes result in concrete remediation and capability uplift.

Crisis Management Partnership

• Partner with Crisis Management and Incident Response leaders to ensure clear governance and escalation during major cyber disruptions, alignment between cyber incident response, business continuity, and technology recovery.

• Provide oversight assurance that crisis processes, roles, and decision frameworks are defined, tested, and understood.

Leadership & Collaboration

• Influence senior leaders across Business, IT, Risk, and Legal without direct authority.

• Build strong partnerships while maintaining independent challenge and assurance.

• Lead and develop a high-performing cyber resiliency team, fostering a culture of accountability, rigor, and continuous improvement.

• Provide executive-level visibility and guidance on resiliency risks, posture, and prioritization.

Minimum Qualifications:
