- Experience supporting cross‑functional coordination during incidents, exercises, or operational reviews.
Your Skills
- Critical Thinking: The ability to evaluate information, identify risks and dependencies, analyze complex situations, and make sound recommendations to support business continuity, disaster recovery, and resiliency objectives.
