Technology or technology that breathes life into work? SHL, People Science. People Answers. The Business & Service Continuity Coordinator is a critical role at the intersection of SaaS platform resilience and internal IT service reliability. This individual owns the end-to-end strategy, planning, and execution of continuity and recovery programs that protect both customer-facing product availability and the internal systems our teams depend on every day. Operating within a fast-paced SaaS setting, this role demands deep collaboration with Engineering, DevOps, Security, Legal, and HR to ensure every layer of our technology stack — from cloud infrastructure to employee tooling — can withstand disruption and recover swiftly when incidents occur.
A great benefits package is offered in a culture where career development, ongoing manager assist, collaboration, diversity, and inclusivity are intrinsic to the way we work. SHL continues to invest heavily in technology and security, making this an exciting time to be part of something transformational. Hybrid working is available.

- 3-5 years of experience in business continuity, disaster recovery, IT operations, or a closely related risk/security discipline.
- Demonstrated experience developing and testing DRPs in a cloud-native or SaaS environment (AWS or Azure preferred).
- Strong understanding of SaaS architecture concepts: multi-tenancy, microservices, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-native storage and networking.
- Hands-on experience conducting BIAs, facilitating tabletop exercises, and managing post-incident reviews.
- Familiarity with compliance frameworks relevant to SaaS companies: SOC 2, ISO 27000 series, ISO 22301, NIST CSF, GDPR, etc.
