This Long-term Contract position will focus on planning, coordination, and execution across recovery onboarding, strategy development, testing, and issue resolution for Tier 0-3 applications. The role is fully remote, with a preference for candidates located near a company office, and requires strong communication skills to work effectively with technical teams and leadership.

Facilitate disaster recovery reviews with application stakeholders to define recovery approaches, business impact considerations, and support needs across critical systems.
Create, refine, and validate recovery documentation, including operational runbooks, test materials, formal plans, and post-test summary reports.
Organize recurring disaster recovery exercises, failover events, and preparedness reviews to confirm application and team readiness.
Evaluate application interdependencies, recovery time objectives, recovery point objectives, and supporting infrastructure requirements to strengthen recovery strategies.
Lead follow-up efforts to address identified gaps, assign action items, and monitor remediation progress through completion.
Contribute to ServiceNow-related implementation activities and support operational workflows tied to disaster recovery governance.
Prepare dashboards, status summaries, and executive-facing updates that communicate progress, risks, and key performance metrics.
Partner with infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity, and enterprise application teams to align recovery planning with broader technology and governance standards.
Requirements
6 to 8 years of experience in disaster recovery, infrastructure resilience, or business continuity within enterprise environments.
Solid knowledge of recovery testing practices, continuity planning methods, and disaster recovery governance frameworks.
Experience collaborating with enterprise applications, infrastructure, cloud technology, and cybersecurity teams.
Ability to analyze dependencies, recovery requirements, and operational risks across complex application landscapes.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present updates to senior stakeholders and executives.
Familiarity with ServiceNow, Microsoft Azure, and IT governance processes is preferred.
Proven ability to coordinate multiple workstreams in a remote work environment without field-based responsibilities.
