• At least 5 years of experience in IT service continuity, disaster recovery, cybersecurity policy, or business continuity planning.
• At least 3 years of experience documenting policies, procedures, and operational plans.

• Knowledge of disaster recovery tools, IT infrastructure, cybersecurity practices, risk assessment, mitigation strategies, and service recovery methodologies.
• Experience conducting business impact analyses and developing continuity and recovery plans for complex IT environments.
