Svc Continuity Consultant Lead

This is an opportunity to play a visible and influential role in strengthening how Nationwide protects critical services, supports customers and members during disruption, and evidences resilience through well-governed Service Continuity activity, including BAU delivery and data recovery testing.

As a Service Continuity Consultant Lead, you’ll join a well-established team within Operational Resilience and help deliver one of Nationwide’s key resilience priorities. You’ll provide senior consultancy, challenge and assurance so recovery capability for critical IT services is understood, documented, maintained and tested effectively across BAU services, critical platforms and planned technology activity. You’ll also be a people leader, managing and developing a team of Service Continuity Leads to deliver high-quality outcomes consistently.

You’ll work closely with platforms, service teams, operational teams, programmes, projects and third-party suppliers to make sure recovery requirements are clear, testing is planned and delivered effectively, and evidence is robust. You’ll provide practical guidance, constructive challenge and clear assurance across BAU Service Continuity activity, data recovery testing and change-related engagement, helping teams demonstrate that critical services can recover within required timescales and in line with Nationwide’s IT Service Continuity Standard of Control.
