• Strong understanding of Business Continuity Management Systems, ISO 22301 principles, and the alignment between business continuity, disaster recovery, and information security practices.
• Experience operating within regulated sectors such as nuclear, energy, infrastructure, transportation, defence, or other environments where resilience of critical technology services is essential.
• Demonstrated experience facilitating IT recovery exercises, scenario testing, incident response activities, and post‑incident lessons learned reviews.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement, communication, and leadership skills, with the ability to influence technical and non‑technical teams.
• Strong analytical, planning, and organisational capability, including experience with business impact analysis, dependency mapping, recovery objectives, and continuity governance.

• Solidarity: One team, working closely together across business, digital, security, and suppliers to maintain critical services.
• Clarity: Communicate clearly and consistently on continuity priorities, recovery status, risks, and decision points.
