We are currently seeking qualified, motivated talent to mature and execute Entrust’s Disaster Recovery (DR) Program.  You will oversee DR readiness work across all functional and product teams and ensure annual plan and testing requirements are met. You will be called on to provide complex project leadership between technology groups and other company business units, emphasizing regular communication with all stakeholders.

• Lead cross-functional governance to drive timely decisions and ongoing adherence to DR requirements.
• Maintain service criticality and recovery targets by leading impact assessments (AIA/BIA inputs), keeping inventories and dependencies current, and driving clear ownership for gaps.
• Build and manage integrated DR delivery plans and roadmaps, balancing risk, deadlines, and capacity across application, infrastructure, security, and operations teams.
• Plan and lead DR exercises and tests (scope, success criteria, execution, communications) and ensure follow-up actions are tracked to closure.
• Maintain DR standards, documentation, and evidence (templates, runbooks, test plans) and perform periodic health checks to improve recoverability and support audit readiness.
• Provide clear, executive-ready reporting on readiness status, risks, decisions needed, test outcomes, and compliance posture.
• Support major incidents by coordinating recovery stakeholders, documenting lessons learned, and incorporating improvements into future DR plans and tests.
