Overview

The Enterprise Resilience Role helps strengthen the organization’s ability to anticipate, withstand, respond to, recover from, and adapt to cyber, technology, operational, and third-party disruptions. The role connects technical recoverability with business continuity and critical business service outcomes. It partners across Cyber Security, Information Technology, Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity, Emergency Management, business operations, and vendor management to establish consistent resilience requirements, validate recovery capabilities, track gaps, and drive measurable improvements.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can work across technical and business teams, bring structure to a developing enterprise program, and translate resilience risks into clear actions and decisions.

Support the development, implementation, and continuous improvement of the Enterprise Resilience Program, including governance, standards, procedures, playbooks, reporting, and program documentation.

Responsibilities

Help identify and maintain Critical Business Services and map the people, processes, technology, data, facilities, and third parties required to deliver them.
Partner with business and technology owners to define and validate impact tolerances, recovery time objectives, recovery point objectives, minimum service levels, and recovery priorities.
Plan, coordinate, and document resilience assessments, business impact analyses, tabletop exercises, disaster recovery tests, cyber recovery exercises, and simulations.
Track findings, risks, decisions, owners, due dates, and corrective actions through closure; identify recurring themes and elevate material gaps when needed.
Enhance backup and recovery capabilities, including Rubrik, Azure-native backups, SQL-native backups, and Veeam.
Improve ransomware-resilient recovery capabilities through immutable backups, clean-point validation, data-integrity checks, malware-aware recovery practices, and secure restoration workflows.
Help build and mature the isolated recovery environment, including automation of restoration testing and repeatable validation of recoverability.
Participate in disaster recovery exercises with infrastructure, application, security, and business teams to confirm that systems, data, integrations, and business processes can be restored and validated.
Coordinate cyber, business, and enterprise tabletop exercises to test decision-making, communications, downtime procedures, manual workarounds, escalation paths, and recovery actions.
Support containment, response, and recovery activities during disruptive events, including coordination across technical and business teams and documentation of key decisions.
Assess third-party resilience capabilities supporting critical services, including continuity plans, recovery commitments, testing evidence, dependencies, concentration risks, and contingency options.
Develop dashboards, metrics, and executive-ready reporting for recovery readiness, testing coverage, unresolved risk, remediation progress, and resilience maturity.
Create clear technical and business documentation, standards, procedures, and repeatable processes that reduce manual effort and improve consistency.
Promote resilience awareness by helping stakeholders understand their roles before, during, and after a disruption.

Experience documenting risks, control gaps, corrective actions, procedures, and evidence in a structured and auditable manner.
Strong project coordination and follow-through, including the ability to manage multiple workstreams, owners, dependencies, and deadlines.
Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical risk and recovery issues to both technical and business audiences.
Experience in healthcare, another highly regulated industry, or a complex organization with critical 24/7 operations.
