Disaster Recovery Coordinator / Manager - Glasgow, Contract

6 Month Contract | Outside IR35 | Glasgow or surrounding areas

We re looking for an experienced Disaster Recovery professional to join a well established Business Continuity function for a large enterprise client.

This is a 6 month contract, engaged outside IR35, and you'll need to be based in or around Glasgow as you are likely to be onsite 2-3 days per week.

What you'll be doing

• Planning, coordinating and running Disaster Recovery tests across a range of technical environments

• Working closely with infrastructure, application and technical teams to make sure recovery solutions are fit for purpose and ready to activate

• Owning and maintaining the documentation that makes recovery possible, runbooks, procedures, and the overall Business Continuity plan

• Reporting progress and outcomes clearly to senior stakeholders, including honest accounts of what worked and what didn't

• Tracking Business Impact Analysis and recovery objectives for critical systems, and spotting where things can be improved

• Leading post-test reviews and turning lessons learned into real process improvements

Your experience:

• Solid experience in Disaster Recovery or Business Continuity, ideally within a regulated or enterprise environment

• A proven track record coordinating multiple technical teams toward a shared deadline, this is genuinely one of the most important parts of the role

• Strong documentation instincts, you understand that a runbook someone else can follow under pressure is worth more than one only you understand

• Confident communicating with senior stakeholders, translating technical detail into something a non-technical audience can act on, and comfortable owning reporting and audit evidence

• Experience with regulatory frameworks like DORA is a strong plus, particularly if you've worked in financial services

• Exposure to Mainframe recovery technologies is useful but not essential.
