Stanford Health Care is seeking a strategic and innovative Senior Program Manager to help shape the future of enterprise resilience across one of the nation's leading health systems. We are looking for a leader who understands that resilience is more than emergency management or business continuity alone. The ideal candidate can connect business resilience, operational continuity, IT disaster recovery, crisis communications, risk management, and emerging technologies into a unified strategy that strengthens the organization's ability to prepare for, adapt to, and recover from disruption.

This role will help drive some of Stanford Health Care's most visible resilience initiatives, including continuity modernization, recovery planning, tactical communications, technology-enabled preparedness, and AI-supported operational transformation.

• Thinks beyond traditional business continuity and understands the evolving discipline of enterprise resilience.
• Has experience integrating business continuity, continuity of operations (COOP), IT disaster recovery, crisis management, and organizational recovery into practical operational programs.
• Has worked with enterprise resilience, continuity, incident management, recovery, or mass notification platforms such as Everbridge, Veoci, Fusion Risk Management, Service Now BCM, Archer, Noggin, Castellan, OnSolve, or similar solutions.
• Understands how technology supports resilience and recovery but is not necessarily a technical engineer or software developer.
• Has experience partnering with IT, cybersecurity, clinical operations, facilities, supply chain, and executive leadership to address complex operational risks.
• Brings a strong understanding of risk management, Business Impact Analysis (BIA), Hazard Vulnerability Analysis (HVA), operational dependencies, and recovery priorities.
• Is energized by emerging technologies and can identify, evaluate, and implement AI-enabled use cases that improve preparedness, situational awareness, tactical communications, operational efficiency, and decision support.
• Possesses exceptional communication skills and can translate complex risks into actionable information for executives, operational leaders, and frontline teams.

• Lead enterprise resilience initiatives that strengthen Stanford Health Care's ability to prepare for, withstand, respond to, and recover from disruptions.
• Advance organization-wide business continuity, resilience, recovery, and contingency planning programs.
• Partner with Information Technology and Cybersecurity teams to align operational continuity planning with IT disaster recovery and cyber resilience strategies.
• Drive the modernization of continuity and resilience programs through the adoption of innovative tools, automation, analytics, and AI-enabled capabilities.
• Develop and oversee tactical communication strategies that support incident response, executive decision-making, workforce readiness, and stakeholder engagement.
• Facilitate Business Impact Analyses (BIAs), Hazard Vulnerability Analyses (HVAs), strategic risk assessments, and recovery planning initiatives.
• Lead highly visible cross-functional projects involving healthcare operations, clinical services, emergency management, facilities, technology, security, and external partners.
• Evaluate and implement practical AI use cases that improve planning, communications, information management, workflow efficiency, and operational resilience.
• Translate lessons learned from incidents, exercises, audits, and after-action reviews into measurable organizational improvements.
