Job description

We are currently recruiting for a Business Continuity & Operational Resilience Lead to join the risk and compliance function of a very established and successful UK based law firm. This role requires applicants to be MBCI certified, have previous experience of carrying out the below tasks within a law firm and be comfortable visiting UK offices from time to time.

Your experience will incorporate:

• Strong operational resilience and business continuity experience
• Strong experience of crisis and incident management, including exposure to cyber incidents
• Confidently engage with and influence senior management, crisis teams and executive-level stakeholders
• Experience developing and implementing resilience approaches, rather than simply working within an established framework
• Are a proactive self-starter who can independently gather information, identify what needs to be done and bring the different elements together

This role will develop and maintain a robust operational resilience framework closely working with operational teams including IT and information security so will require excellent communication skills. Due to the remoteness of the role you will need to be someone who is able to work autonomously and very much be a self starter.
