Essentials:
These are the core capabilities and experiences needed to be successful in this role:
- Strong understanding of technology resilience concepts, including recovery architecture, IT continuity, backup strategies, and failover design.
- Demonstrated experience conducting Technology Impact Analysis (TIA) or similar exercises to assess critical IT dependencies.
- Strong Hand-on experience in running or actively participating in Disaster Recovery (DR) Drills
- Proficiency in developing, executing and maintaining runbooks
- ability to evaluate data centres, hybrid/cloud infrastructure, and application landscapes through a resilience lens.
- Ability to translate technical risks into business impact terms and communicate recommendations clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
- Demonstrated involvement in developing or supporting resilience strategies, roadmaps, or implementation plans for enterprise clients.
- Knowledge of regulatory expectations around technology resilience, especially within sectors like financial services, energy, or government.
Desirables
These are capabilities that would add complementary value to the team, but can also be developed on the job:
- Familiarity with business continuity, crisis management, or operational resilience frameworks beyond IT-specific areas.
- Experience supporting or running tabletop exercises, technical simulations, or chaos engineering experiments.
- Knowledge of cloud resilience architectures (e.g., multi-AZ/multi-region failover, backup/restore in AWS/Azure/GCP).
- Understanding of cyber-resilience intersections, such as ransomware preparedness, zero-trust recovery, or secure-by-design principles.
- -on exposure to modern resilience solutions, such as immutable backups, cyber vaults, DR-as-a-Service (DRaaS), or cloud-native recovery approaches.
- Experience performing resilience posture assessments and advising on improvements using industry-aligned frameworks (e.g., ISO 22301, DORA, NIST, COBIT).
- Exposure to emerging technology risk (e.g., AI model resilience, edge computing, or OT/ICS environments).
- Professional certifications such as ISO 22301 Lead Auditor/Implementer, CBCI, AWS/Azure cloud certs, or DORA/operational resilience credentials.
