About this Opportunity

Are you ready to play a hands-on role in strengthening how a critical business unit prepares for, responds to, and recovers from disruption? If so, the Business Continuity & Response Manager role within GCOO Resilience Enablement offers an opportunity to make a tangible impact on customer, colleague, and operational outcomes.

Sitting within GCOO Business Resilience Office (BRO), this role supports the delivery of the GCOO operational resilience framework, with a primary focus on business continuity and incident response capability.

• Provide clear governance, reporting and stakeholder engagement to build resilience awareness and ownership across GCOO.
• Contribute to improving tools, templates and ways of working, collaborating across the BRO and wider Group resilience community.
• Support a 24/7 local / Bronze-level response capability, including rota participation
