A central banking organisation in Luxembourg City, within the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, is strengthening organizational resilience for High and Very High critical activities identified in its business impact analyses (BIAs). This senior Business Continuity Consultant will review contingency procedures, work with business teams on practical workarounds, and design and facilitate tabletop tests that validate how those measures perform during disruption.
The mission
The organisation supports functions across monetary policy, banknote issuance, financial stability, prudential supervision, statistics, payment systems, and economic analysis. Its continuity framework must show that procedures for critical activities are sufficiently detailed, realistic, and aligned with the impacts, dependencies, and resilience requirements documented in relevant BIAs. The engagement covers the concept and design, review, and tabletop testing of resilience and contingency measures, with evidence that each activity has been assessed.
You will work directly with the BCM function and business owners, translating operational knowledge into usable workarounds and contingency procedures. You will prepare review plans and scenarios, coordinate participants, facilitate tabletop sessions, document findings, and provide written feedback that stakeholders can act on. A structured approach is essential because the work involves a high volume of information, versioned documents, decisions, actions, and archived evidence. The planned engagement covers 60 working days and requires availability during Q4 2026.

- Produce a concept and project plan that sets out scope, sequencing, participants, evidence, and delivery tracking.
- Capture test results, decisions, gaps, improvement actions, owners, and status in a traceable record.
- Recommend and document improvements, then prepare proof of completion and concise written reporting for business stakeholders.
