Operational Resiliency Lead

As our Operational Resiliency Lead, you'll make sure FTMO and our broader group entities can keep serving traders when things go wrong — whether that's a cloud outage, a cyber incident, a key vendor failing or a building we can't enter. You'll own the business continuity, disaster recovery and crisis management framework end to end: mapping our important business services, setting impact tolerances, running realistic tests and turning every lesson into a concrete fix.

You'll work closely with Engineering, IT, Security, Operations, Legal and senior leadership, so that resilience is designed into how we work rather than written into a binder once a year. WHAT WILL YOU DO?
