Group Operational Resilience Lead

Te whiwhinga mahi | The opportunity

At Beca, we're building a more resilient future.

As our technology and supplier dependencies increase and business continuity expectations continue to grow, we're creating a Group Operational Resilience Lead role to strengthen how we prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruption.

Reporting to the Chief Information Security Officer, you'll lead the development of Beca's Critical Business Services framework, partnering with stakeholders across the business to identify critical processes, map technology and supplier dependencies, assess risks, and establish practical recovery and resilience plans. You'll build a new enterprise capability, influence senior leaders, and shape Beca's Group-wide resilience—helping us continue delivering for our clients through disruption.

This is a highly collaborative role that will see you working with business process owners, product owners, technology leaders, and operational teams across Beca. Rather than focusing solely on technology, you'll help translate complex technical and resilience concepts into practical actions and decision-making frameworks that enable the wider business to prepare for and manage disruption.

Key responsibilities include:

• Establishing and developing Beca's Critical Business Services framework
• Working with business and technology leaders to identify critical services, dependencies, risks and single points of failure.
• Developing and testing practical recovery plans, operational runbooks and disruption scenarios.
• Driving resilience improvements and supporting major incident recovery across the Group.

Ko wai koe | About you

We're looking for a resilience professional who combines strong business engagement skills with a practical understanding of technology, cyber security, and operational risk.

You may come from a business continuity, operational resilience, cyber resilience, disaster recovery, or related risk background.

• Strong stakeholder engagement and facilitation skills with the ability to build consensus, and drive action.
• The ability to translate complex technical and risk concepts into clear, practical business language.
