- Provide expert guidance to application and asset owners to ensure that backup, recovery, and continuity capabilities are effective and tested.
- Oversee the identification of critical business services and assets, ensuring appropriate resiliency measures are in place (e.g., backup frequency, data retention, RTO/RPO alignment).
- Collaborate with Architecture, Infrastructure, and Operations teams to embed resilience requirements into design and delivery.
- Ensure regular testing and exercising of recovery plans, validating the ability to restore critical services within required timeframes.
- Work with Business Continuity and Risk teams to align cyber resilience with wider enterprise continuity planning.
- Produce reporting and metrics for senior stakeholders and governance boards, demonstrating the effectiveness of resilience measures.
- Stay ahead of evolving threats, industry regulations, and best practices to enhance resilience posture.
- Provide leadership and mentoring to junior team members or analysts contributing to resilience initiatives.
Skills & Experience
- Proven experience in cyber security, technology risk, or IT disaster recovery with a focus on resilience, recovery, and continuity.
- Strong understanding of backup and restore technologies, cloud and hybrid architectures, and resilience frameworks.
- Experience working with application and asset owners to assess risks and embed controls.
- Knowledge of relevant regulations and standards (e.g., NIST, ISO 22301, FCA Operational Resilience).
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; able to influence technical and non-technical audiences.
- Analytical mindset; able to assess resilience gaps and define pragmatic, business-aligned improvements.
- Project management or programme delivery experience in resilience initiatives.
Desirable:

- Experience in retail, financial services, or other complex operational environments.
- Familiarity with Microsoft technologies and cloud platforms (Azure, M365).
What Success Looks Like
- Critical business services have tested and validated restore plans aligned with RTO/RPO requirements.
- Application and asset owners feel supported and guided in implementing effective resilience controls.
- Cyber resilience posture is measurably stronger, with improved recovery times and reduced impact of incidents.
- Senior leadership has visibility and confidence in Asda’s ability to withstand and recover from attacks or disruptions.
- Resilience practices are embedded into design, change, and operations across the business.
What You’ll Gain
- Opportunity to shape and lead Asda’s cyber resilience capability at enterprise scale.
- Visibility across the organisation, influencing senior stakeholders and critical decision-making.
- A collaborative, values-led culture with strong focus on career growth and learning.
- Hybrid working, competitive benefits, and the chance to protect a brand that matters to millions of customers.
