| Description: |
Location: London/Portsmouth (hybrid) Type: Permanent, Full-time A leading large Managed Service Provider (MSP) based in London is looking for a skilled and driven Business Continuity Manager to join its Assurance function. This is a high-impact opportunity for a resilience professional who wants genuine ownership of a mature Business Continuity Management System and the scope to shape how continuity and resilience are managed across both internal operations and complex, client-facing managed infrastructure. Reporting directly to the Head of Assurance, the successful candidate will work at the intersection of risk, governance, and technology, serving as the primary point of contact for continuity planning, incident response, and resilience assurance across the organisation. The role You will be responsible for designing, implementing, and continuously improving the Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) in line with ISO 22301 and industry best practice. Working across the organisation, you will maintain BC policies and procedures, ensure clear governance and accountability, and lead Business Impact Analyses for critical systems and services. You will assess recovery priorities, define RTOs and RPOs, and ensure everything aligns with the organisations risk appetite - while staying ahead of emerging threats, including those arising from AI-enabled systems and third-party dependencies. A significant part of the role involves testing and exercising. You will design and deliver a structured testing framework, develop scenario-based exercises ranging from cyber incidents and data breaches to physical simulations such as fire evacuations and flood response, and deliver Exercise-in-a-Box (EiaB) programmes for IT teams and business units. Post-exercise debrief and improvement tracking will be central to how you close the loop and build genuine resilience. On the client side, you will oversee business continuity and disaster recovery readiness across managed client environments, working closely with service delivery teams to ensure recovery solutions are defined, tested, and compliant with SLAs and contractual obligations. You will also support client audits and due diligence activity as needed. What we're looking for:
You will work alongside experienced teams in Assurance, Service Delivery, and IT, with exposure to a diverse and complex client portfolio. Hybrid working is available across the London and Portsmouth offices. How to apply If you have the experience and drive to take ownership of business continuity at scale, we would love to hear from you. Please apply with your CV and a brief covering note outlining your most relevant experience.
