Connect to your opportunity

Imagine guiding clients so they can keep core services running even when a cyber-attack, flood, or regional blackout strikes. At Deloitte, our Technology Resilience practice turns that vision into reality through resilience thinking. You will help organizations decide what absolutely must survive, test the strength of their datacenters and clouds, and shape next-generation safeguards that stand up to the worst-case scenario. Your recommendations reach boardrooms, influence capital spend and protect critical national infrastructure.

Outcomes you will drive:

• Define and assess a client’s minimum viable company (MVC) identifying the core capabilities, systems, and dependencies required to sustain operations during disruption.
• Lead technology impact analyses (TIA) to map the relationships between business services, applications, infrastructure, and third-party providers, and understand the operational consequences of their failure.
• Evaluate data centers, cloud environments, and network architecture from a resilience and recoverability perspective identifying single points of failure, weak failover strategies, or latency risks.
• Design and recommend modern resilience solutions, including immutable backups, data vaulting, tiered recovery architecture, cloud-native resilience models, and chaos engineering practices.
• Conduct resilience risk assessments across IT environments helping clients identify exposure to cyber events, operational errors, or infrastructure failure, and advising on mitigation strategies.
• Perform resilience posture assessments using Deloitte’s proprietary frameworks and help clients benchmark against industry standards such as ISO 22301, DORA, NIST, and NIS2.
• Translate resilience requirements into tangible recovery capabilities such as defining recovery time objectives (RTOs), recovery point objectives (RPOs), and testing protocols for critical services.
• Develop and implement resilience roadmaps that prioritize quick wins and long-term transformation balancing compliance, technical feasibility, and business expectations.
• Facilitate scenario-based simulations and tabletop exercises to validate readiness across business and IT stakeholders and refine response protocols based on real-world dynamics.
• Work cross-functionally with cyber, cloud, infrastructure, and risk teams to embed resilience into transformation programs, ensuring it’s considered from the start not after deployment.
• Support clients in meeting regulatory expectations around operational resilience, including guidance for financial services, energy, and other critical infrastructure sectors.

Connect to your skills and professional experience

You’ll thrive in this role if you value collaboration over control, impact over ego, and outcomes over activity. We’ll support your growth, give you the autonomy to shape your work, and the trust to drive change where it matters. If you bring your best, we’ll help you do your boldest.

Essentials

These are the core capabilities and experiences needed to be successful in this role:

• Bachelor’s degree in technology related field
• Minimum 3-7 years of experience in IT infrastructure, network architecture, compute, cloud, and disaster recovery
• Proven experience in leading and coaching junior resources within the technical field
• Strong understanding of technology resilience concepts, including recovery architecture, IT continuity, backup strategies, and failover design
• Demonstrated experience conducting technology impact analysis (TIA) or similar exercises to assess critical IT dependencies
• Proven ability to evaluate data centers, hybrid/cloud infrastructure, and application landscapes through a resilience lens
• Hands-on exposure to modern resilience solutions, such as immutable backups, cyber vaults, DR-as-a-Service (DRaaS), or cloud-native recovery approaches
• Experience performing resilience posture assessments and advising on improvements using industry-aligned frameworks (e.g., ISO 22301, DORA, NIST, COBIT)
• Ability to translate technical risks into business impact terms and communicate recommendations clearly to non-technical stakeholders
• Demonstrated involvement in developing or supporting resilience strategies, roadmaps, or implementation plans for enterprise clients
• Knowledge of regulatory expectations around technology resilience, especially within sectors like financial services, energy, or government

Desirables

These are capabilities that would add complementary value to the team, but can also be developed on the job:

• Familiarity with business continuity, crisis management, or operational resilience frameworks beyond IT-specific areas
• Experience supporting or running tabletop exercises, technical simulations, or chaos engineering experiments
• Knowledge of cloud resilience architectures (e.g., multi-AZ/multi-region failover, backup/restore in AWS/Azure/GCP)
• Understanding of cyber-resilience intersections, such as ransomware preparedness, zero-trust recovery, or secure-by-design principles
• Exposure to emerging technology risk (e.g., AI model resilience, edge computing, or OT/ICS environments)
• Professional certifications such as ISO 22301 Lead Auditor/Implementer, CBCI, AWS/Azure cloud certs, or DORA/operational resilience credentials
