The Project Delivery Office (PDO) of the Business Technology Services department in Edmonton is currently seeking a motivated individual to fill the position of Business Continuity Lead.

This position is for a second Business Continuity Lead to augment our capacity and provide redundancy in the role. The Business Continuity Lead role is primarily responsible for the day-to-day management, continuous improvement, and governance of WCB-Alberta’s Business Continuity Management (BCM) program. This role ensures that business continuity plans, crisis management plans, and supporting recovery strategies are documented, maintained, and regularly exercised across business areas.

Working closely with leaders, plan owners, and partners across the organization, the Business Continuity Leads coordinate integration across business continuity, disaster recovery, emergency and incident management, and crisis management disciplines to support a cohesive and effective enterprise response capability. During incidents or crisis events, this role provides coordination and advisory support, monitors adherence to approved plans and escalation protocols, and supports post-incident reviews;

it does not assume incident command authority.

As part of the Project Delivery Office, the incumbent may also be assigned to lead or support technology or business projects, leveraging established project management practices to deliver strategic organizational initiatives as business priorities evolve.

This role contributes to organizational resilience by working with departmental business continuity teams to enable continuity of critical operations, advising leadership on disruption risks, recommending practical mitigation strategies, and strengthening operational readiness across the organization.
