Business Continuity and Operational Resilience Manager (m/f/d) in London

The Business Continuity and Operational Resilience Manager is responsible for establishing, operating, and continually enhancing the organisation’s enterprise‑wide business resilience capability. This role ensures that critical business services can continue and recover effectively during disruption by defining the resilience framework, enabling business areas, and providing assurance over organisational readiness. While business areas remain accountable for developing and executing their own business continuity plans, this role provides the standards, guidance, training, challenge and testing required to ensure continuity plans are practical, consistent, and effective across the organisation.

• Own and maintain the enterprise business resilience framework, standards, and methodologies.
• Lead identification and analysis of critical business services and support Business Impact Analyses (BIAs) across teams.
• Enable and review business continuity plans, ensuring quality and alignment.
• Design and deliver resilience exercises, simulations, and scenario tests.
• Provide resilience training, awareness, and guidance to business areas.
• Assess resilience of critical suppliers and support procurement with requirements.
• Support incident response with impact assessments and post‑incident insights.
• Embed resilience considerations into projects, change initiatives, and new capabilities.
• Produce resilience reporting, track improvements, and drive capability maturity.

Essential qualifications:

• Experience in business continuity, operational resilience, or business resilience roles.
• Strong skills in BIAs, dependency mapping, continuity planning, and exercise facilitation.
• Experience delivering training and engaging a range of stakeholders.
• Strong analytical, documentation, and reporting capabilities.
• Ability to influence without direct authority and constructively challenge.

Desirable:

• Familiarity with resilience standards (e.g., ISO 22301).
• Experience in regulated or complex operational environments.
• Exposure to audits or regulatory reviews.
