Job description

Cyber Resilience Lead – Contract Opportunity

Initial 6-Month Contract | 2-Year Programme | Hybrid (2 Days Onsite in Oxford)
Start: ASAP

We’re seeking a dynamic, hands-on Cyber Resilience Lead to drive a major Business Continuity Planning (BCP) transformation as part of a high-profile, long-term cyber resilience programme.

This isn’t a role for someone who simply talks frameworks—it’s for a proactive, experienced leader who has built and delivered real-world business recovery plans through a cyber lens. You’ll be leading from the front, engaging across technical and non-technical teams to ensure the organisation is resilient, responsive, and recovery-ready in the face of cyber threats.

What You’ll Do:

• Own and lead the BCP Transformation – designing and delivering a fit-for-purpose Cyber Resilience Framework embedded across the business.
• Work closely with Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) teams and run the workstream responsible for outlining and validating disaster recovery and incident response plans.
• Drive cross-functional collaboration with technology, legal, data privacy, crisis management, disaster recovery, and operational continuity teams.
• Deliver and maintain practical recovery processes across a complex, global technology and business landscape.
• Champion and coordinate cyber resilience testing activities – including red/blue/purple team exercises – and ensure continuous improvement through lessons learned.
• Build clear, usable documentation and artefacts that support real-world application of recovery processes.
• Develop metrics and maturity reporting to monitor and communicate resilience capability and progress.

What You’ll Bring:

• Proven experience leading cyber resilience or BCP programmes with a hands-on delivery approach.
• Strong track record in building real business recovery plans, not just high-level frameworks.
• Ability to bring cyber and BCP worlds together – ideally with experience in organisations with complex or regulated environments.
• Confident working closely with GRC and other business-critical teams to align resilience planning with compliance and governance.
• A gregarious, articulate style – able to engage, influence, and gain trust across diverse stakeholders.
• A roll-up-your-sleeves mindset – this is not a siloed or purely advisory role. You’ll be driving delivery from day one.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a senior contractor who can balance strategic oversight with operational execution, working at the heart of a programme that directly strengthens organisational resilience in an evolving cyber threat landscape.
