Job Title: IT Resilience & Continuity Specialist (BCM)
Location: Brussels, Belgium – Hybrid
Start Date: ASAP
Key Responsibilities
* Develop technical continuity and resilience strategies across critical IT environments, infrastructure, and cybersecurity domains.
* Design realistic, scenario-based resilience simulations (e.g., malware intrusion, lateral movement, ransomware impact, service disruption).
* Build incident response pathways and actionable recovery playbooks for cyber and infrastructure disruptions.
* Collaborate with cybersecurity, network, and infrastructure teams to ensure end-to-end resilience coverage.
* Assess technology stacks and identify failure points, dependencies, and single points of risk.
* Support the development of technical continuity plans aligned with enterprise architecture, IT security standards, and operational requirements.
* Facilitate resilience exercises and post-incident reviews to drive continuous improvement.
* Advise stakeholders on best practices in cyber response, resilience engineering, and technology continuity.
Requirements
* 5+ years of experience in IT resilience, cybersecurity engineering, or technical continuity roles.
* Strong understanding of modern IT architecture, infrastructure, and cyber defense practices (cloud, networks, endpoints, SOC processes).
* Proven experience building scenario-based recovery or cyber response models—not traditional BCP/DRP/BIA only.
* Ability to translate technical risks into actionable operational strategies.
* Solid knowledge of malware attack paths, cybersecurity incident lifecycle, and containment strategies.
* Familiarity with enterprise-scale environments and high-security sectors.
* Excellent analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
* Strong communication skills and ability to work with cross-functional technical and security teams.
* French speaking is a strong bonus.
