Technical Specialist for Technical Resilience (Senior Consultant)

Deloitte's Technical Resilience Team empowers organizations to navigate uncertainty, prepare for most impactful risks, and thrive amidst disruption. From proactively identifying and assessing risks through conducting realistic crisis simulations, designing technical resilience for applications and cloud services, developing robust resilience playbooks, and operationalizing market solutions to improve incident response and recovery - we equip our clients with the capabilities they need to manage a continually evolving risk landscape and respond to and recover from disruptions efficiently.

We are looking for a technologist to join our team who has a clear understanding of systems and technologies found in a contemporary data center and/or cloud environment and is able to provide technical insights and industry subject matter expertise to our sales, delivery teams, and clients. Responsibilities will include leading highly technical discussions and communicating highly technical content through written word, graphic representations, and verbal presentation using audience appropriate terms to non-technical delivery teams and client stakeholders.

It takes a special kind of person to be on a high-performance team like this. Someone who thrives in an environment of ambiguity, responsiveness, and critical thinking. The issues we help our clients with are complex and require sophisticated solutions - the type of solutions that are best created by people who have the courage and confidence to challenge convention, and the humility to build on the work of others. The Technical Resilience practice is a great work environment with highly talented people, are you ready to join us?
