Disaster Recovery & Customer Coordination

The Sr. Associate IT Generalist will help strengthen technology resilience and business continuity through disaster recovery planning, testing, documentation, and customer implementation support. This role works across technology teams to understand critical systems and dependencies, maintain recovery plans, and help ensure disaster recovery activities are effectively planned and executed.

Key Responsibilities

• Coordinate disaster recovery drills, simulations, and related activities, documenting outcomes and lessons learned.
• Partner with IT teams to understand system dependencies, critical business functions, and recovery requirements.
• Develop and maintain disaster recovery runbooks, playbooks, and incident-response procedures.
• Support disaster recovery tools, technologies, and activities associated with applicable standards and regulatory requirements.
• Apply project management practices to move disaster recovery initiatives and customer implementations forward against defined customer requirements.
• Coordinate new and changing external customer connectivity requirements with customers and internal technology teams.
• Facilitate customer engineering discussions and coordinate technical follow-up.
• Support customer quoting activities and serve as a liaison across customers, sales, engineering, technology teams, and internal business partners.
• Track work, requirements, issues, and project activities using Jira and ServiceNow.

We are unable to provide sponsorship for this role, presently or in the future.
