Job description

In this newly created role, you will join the Global Supply Chain and work across functions, sites and regions in an international industrial environment. Reporting to the Director of Industrialisation & Industrial Strategy, you will build, deploy and maintain the Operations business continuity framework. You will lead its transition from a project-based approach to a sustainable management system, tested and progressively rolled out internationally, engaging business functions in addressing resilience challenges.

Responsibilities

• Define and maintain the business continuity policy, methodological framework, governance and Operations roadmap.
• Lead the completion of the ongoing business continuity project, structure its transition to day-to-day management and organise its gradual rollout across sites and activities in EMEA, North America and Asia-Pacific.
• Structure the common framework and coordinate the functions that own their continuity plans, providing methodology, constructive challenge and consolidation without taking over their responsibilities.
• Map critical end-to-end dependencies, from suppliers through industrial sites to the distribution of our finished products and spare parts.
• Facilitate BIA, challenge and coordinate continuity strategies, develop cost/risk analyses and prepare the necessary trade-off decisions at Operations level.
• Develop and lead the exercise and simulation programme, including cross-site exercises, build on incidents and lessons learned, and ensure corrective actions are implemented.
• Bring together an international network of business continuity representatives, coordinate interfaces with business functions and address customer, audit and insurance requirements.

Qualifications

• Higher education qualification at Master's level (Bac+5) or equivalent, in any discipline.
• More than 10 years of professional experience, including significant experience in BCP/risk/industrial resilience gained within an international industrial group.
• Proficiency in BIA, MTPD/DMIA, RTO/RPO methods, risk analysis, continuity strategies, plans and exercises.
• Good knowledge of ISO 22301 or an equivalent framework.
• Fluent English (C1 level), essential for working in an international environment and interacting with the Group’s sites, regions and stakeholders.

The extras that could make you even more unique:

• Certification in Business Continuity.
• Experience auditing business continuity frameworks.
• Proficiency in programme management, performance indicators and executive reporting.

Because your profile is about more than just technical skills:

• Leadership skills to engage and influence a wide range of stakeholders on business continuity issues.
• Clear, analytical and concise communication skills to interact with stakeholders from operational teams to senior management.
• Pragmatism and diplomacy to challenge practices and turn risk analysis into operational solutions.
