Oversee business continuity and recovery plans, ensuring they remain relevant and effective. Monitor and report on resilience and compliance performance, identifying insights and areas for improvement. Contribute to continuous learning by capturing lessons from incidents and sharing best practices across the organisation. Deliver training and exercises to build organisational preparedness.

Key Criteria:
