In today's fast-paced world, disruptions and high-impact events are inevitable. The RCR team helps organizations anticipate, navigate through, and recover from these planned or unforeseen situations. We believe that resilience is not just about recovery; it's also about thriving amid change. Our services help organizations foresee, navigate, and adapt to both gradual changes and unexpected disruptions. Moreover, we assist in turning organizational challenges into opportunities. We create a resilient culture through technology, data and strong stakeholder collaboration, ensuring that our clients are ready for any storm. Therefore, we are looking for a motivated Senior Manager to join our team and contribute to our mission.

• Managing projects and the project team members; 
• Advising organizations in developing, organizing, and implementing their security processes; 
• Supporting organizations through all phases of a crisis, for example, by developing and conducting crisis simulations and learning cycles, performing Business Impact Analyses (BIA), and preparing planning documents; 
• Advising organizations in resilience, crisis management and continuity management to minimize the impact of crises and disruptions and to build and sustain organizational trust and reputation; 
• Proactively building relationships with (potential) clients and develop innovative solutions and propositions. 

Our strategic resilience approach rests on three critical pillars: “safety and security”, “trust and reputation”, and “societal resilience and critical infrastructure”. By embedding resilience into strategies, organisations can protect their operations, strengthen stakeholder trust and secure long‑term success. You will have the opportunity to contribute to one of these pillars, choosing the one that best matches your interests or provides the day‑to‑day challenge you seek.

You will be working in a market leading resilience team with a focus on the financial sector. The team has brought new concepts to the market like the Minimum Viable Organisation and Willing & Able. In all domains we see an increase in the demand for becoming more resilient: banking, insurance, investment management and pension funds. The frameworks we work with are the ISO standards and the BCI Good Practice.
