Must:
We need candidates to have proven experience in business continuity planning within a defence, government, or critical infrastructure environment. You should possess in-depth knowledge and practical application of ISO 22301 and related standards (e.g., ISO 27001). A strong understanding of IT systems, cybersecurity, and disaster recovery principles is essential.

Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills are required, including the ability to present effectively to senior leadership. Desirable qualifications and experience include relevant certifications such as Certified Business Continuity Professional or ISO 22301 Lead Implementer/Auditor, membership in the Business Continuity Institute, experience with governance, risk and compliance platforms, continuity planning tools, and project management certification (e.g., PRINCE2, PMP). Candidates must be eligible for Developed Vetting Security Clearance due to the nature of the role.

In this crucial role, I will lead the development, implementation, maintenance, and continuous improvement of our Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) in alignment with ISO 22301 standards. I will conduct Business Impact Analyses (BIAs) and risk assessments across all functions, programmes, and bids, ensuring that they align with contractual requirements. My responsibilities will also include designing and maintaining continuity and recovery strategies, including crisis management, business continuity, disaster recovery, and emergency response procedures. I will coordinate and facilitate exercises and simulations, such as tabletop and live scenario testing, to validate our continuity plans. Monitoring compliance and readiness will be vital, ensuring that all plans meet internal audit standards and external regulatory requirements. Engaging with various internal stakeholders and external partners, including customers and regulatory bodies, will be part of my role to ensure continuity expectations are met. I will report on BCMS performance, including metrics, gaps, and improvement actions, to senior leadership and governance boards while staying current with evolving threats, technologies, and regulatory changes affecting business continuity across our business area.
