Your role in the team

  • At the heart of the continuity storm: supply chain disruptions, cyberattacks, cloud transformation, new regulations (e.g. DORA/NIS2), technical dependencies, business processes, and management expectations — this is exactly where you come in.
  • Establishment and further development of BCM management systems (e.g. based on ISO 22301).
  • Conducting and facilitating Business Impact Analyses (BIA), including defining RTO/RPO, recovery priorities, and minimum service levels.
  • Development of BCM strategies and actionable roadmaps (including governance, role model, and policy framework).
  • Creation, review, and harmonization of emergency, recovery, and crisis plans (business, IT, and cross-functional).
  • Design and support of crisis management organizations (war room/CCM structures, communication plans, escalation paths).
  • Planning and conducting exercises and tests (tabletop, walkthrough, simulation, technical DR tests), including lessons learned and action tracking.
  • Cross-functional collaboration between Business, IT, Information Security, Data Protection, Facility/Workplace, and Supplier Management.
  • Support with audits, assessments, and compliance requirements (e.g., RKEG, ISO 22301, internal controls, regulatory requirements).
  • Advisory on supplier/third-party resilience (critical service providers, outsourcing, exit/substitutability approaches).
  • Project Management: Stakeholder management, quality assurance, budget and timeline planning, and presenting results to top management.
  • Use of digital and AI-powered tools for efficient analysis, documentation, and project work.
