BCDR Lead Analyst

One of Insight Global's retail clients is seeking a BCDR Lead Analyst to drive the enterprise Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) program within the GRC organization. This role defines how the company prepares for, prioritizes, and recovers from disruptions across business and technology operations. It leads business impact analysis to identify critical processes, translates those priorities into application tiering and recovery requirements, and ensures continuity and recovery capabilities are clearly defined, consistently applied, and validated through testing. The Lead Analyst establishes and enforces BCDR standards, including planning frameworks, testing strategies, and plan lifecycle governance. It also owns the centralized BCDR tooling and workflows used to maintain plans, drive annual recertification, and support audit and regulatory readiness. In addition, this role drives program execution - leading key BCDR initiatives, managing timelines and dependencies, and delivering clear reporting to leadership on program maturity, risks, and remediation progress. This is not an operational recovery role. This role provides oversight of the BCDR program to ensure all required recovery capabilities are defined, aligned to business priorities, and proven effective through planning, testing, and continuous improvement. The ideal candidate brings deep BCDR expertise, strong program ownership, and the ability to influence stakeholders across a complex, enterprise environment.
