Business Continuity Coordinator

Most days revolve around the steady operational work that keeps a BC program alive — chasing plan owners for updates, scheduling and prepping tabletop exercises, maintaining the BC document library, tracking action items from the last assessment or test. The rhythm is set by the program's annual cycle of plan reviews, exercises, and reporting.

The harder part is often earning attention from busy operational owners who don't want one more meeting on their calendar. Plans go stale fast without regular updates, and the coordinator is often the person whose nudges keep the program from drifting. The tooling environment varies a lot — sophisticated BC platforms (Fusion, MetricStream, Archer) at one end, SharePoint and email at the other.

People who tend to thrive here are organized, persistent in a polite way, and comfortable with the program-management muscle that BC requires. The role tends to be a strong foothold into BC analyst, BC manager, or broader risk management roles. The trade-off is that the work can feel administrative rather than analytical, and visibility is low until an actual incident makes the program's state suddenly very relevant.
