Supporting a Regional Service Continuity Manager, you will be:
- Supporting the Business to design and deliver their IT recovery plans, which includes assisting with the reporting of various programmes.
- Deepening your understanding of “Resilience” and how this affects organizations with a commercial lens.
- Maintaining essential documentation, including different levels of recovery plans, audit action plans, as well as regular document reviews and refresh where appropriate.
- Working closely with members of the GBRO teams (including those based in / or responsible for other global regions), the wider Experian teams and departments.
- Assist in the development of recovery testing solutions and testing activities.
- Support the delivery of exercise and training activities.
- Understand how policy and risk frameworks are implemented and feed into real world situations & follow up on risk mitigation activity
- Work with data sources to produce meaningful Management Information
You must be able to use your own initiative and propose solutions to ongoing programmes whilst maintaining critical documentation and working within a team environment.
