The Impact You Will Have
The Disaster Recovery Consultant is responsible for developing, maintaining, testing, and continuously improving disaster recovery capabilities across the organization's cloud, hybrid, SaaS and on-premise technology environments. This role serves as a disaster recovery subject matter expert with a primary focus on cloud recovery. The consultant partners with application owners, cloud engineering teams, infrastructure teams, cybersecurity, vendors, and business stakeholders to design, validate, and enhance recovery capabilities that ensure critical systems can be restored within established recovery objectives. The successful candidate will independently lead disaster recovery planning, testing, analysis, and remediation activities with minimal supervision. This includes evaluating recovery strategies, validating recovery capabilities through testing, identifying recovery gaps and dependencies – including integrations with SaaS - and driving continuous improvement across the disaster recovery program. This position is intended for an experienced continuity professional with 3 or more years of relevant experience. Participation in disaster recovery activities alone is not sufficient. This is not an entry-level role. Candidates must possess direct, hands-on disaster recovery experience and be able to perform the core responsibilities of the position upon hire.

- Monitor program compliance, metrics, reporting, milestones, and action plans.
- Provide consultation and guidance to stakeholders, leadership, and vendors regarding planning requirements, practices, and program standards.
How You’ll Do It
- Plan, coordinate, facilitate, and document disaster recovery exercises, tabletop exercises, failover tests, and recovery validations. Define test objectives, success criteria, participant responsibilities, and evidence requirements.
- Maintain documentation, repositories, inventories, reporting, and supporting materials required for governance, audit, risk, regulatory, and compliance activities.
- Support risk identification activities by assessing potential disruptions that could impact critical business functions or third-party providers.
- Identify and implement improvements to program processes, testing methodologies, reporting, and governance.
- Support incident, crisis, and recovery activities by coordinating activation, response, documentation, and follow-up.

Preferred Skills & Experience

Tips for Your Disaster Recovery Manager Job Search
Align your resume to RTO and RPO
Hiring managers for disaster recovery manager roles scan for recovery time objective and recovery point objective outcomes. Rewrite your bullet points to show specific recovery targets you designed or tested, not just that you owned a plan.
Highlight your BCP testing cadence
Employers want proof you run tabletop exercises and full failover tests, not just that a plan exists on paper. Name the testing frequency you owned, the stakeholders involved, and what gaps the tests revealed and closed.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists disaster recovery manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target postings that name your certifications
Filter openings by the certifications listed in the requirements, such as CBCP, MBCI, or CISA. Roles that name your exact credential in the job description move you past automated screening faster than a strong resume without the match.
Prepare a plan walkthrough for interviews
Most disaster recovery manager interviews include a scenario exercise or a request to walk through a plan you built. Prepare a two-minute narrative covering the threat scenario, your recovery architecture, the test results, and any revisions you made afterward.
Negotiate scope before accepting an offer
Clarify whether the role owns IT disaster recovery only or the full business continuity program before you accept. Scope differences between employers are significant and affect your workload, team size, and what you can claim on your next resume.
Disaster Recovery Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most disaster recovery managers?
The most active employers for disaster recovery managers right now are Tetra Tech, Lemoine, and Hagerty Consulting, and the most openings are in Florida, Ohio, and Texas, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Financial services firms and federal contractors tend to maintain the deepest ongoing hiring volume for this role.
How many disaster recovery manager jobs are remote?
About 92% of disaster recovery manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with remote availability concentrated most heavily in cloud-focused DR architect roles and business continuity program managers. Roles that require hands-on data center access or regular on-site testing tend to stay in-office or hybrid.
How do you become a disaster recovery manager?
Start by building a foundation in IT infrastructure, risk management, or business operations, then move into a business continuity analyst or IT DR coordinator role. Earn a recognized certification such as the CBCP or MBCI, lead at least one full DR plan build or major test cycle, and document the outcomes. Most hiring managers look for a combination of technical fluency, project ownership, and cross-department coordination experience before promoting or hiring into a manager title.
Can you get hired as a disaster recovery manager without direct experience?
Candidates without the exact title can transition from adjacent roles in IT operations, risk management, audit, or compliance by demonstrating ownership of continuity-related work. If you have written a DR plan, coordinated a failover test, or led an incident response effort, frame those projects front and center. Earning a CBCP or completing a formal BCP course signals commitment to employers who might otherwise require direct experience.
What does the disaster recovery manager interview process look like?
Most processes run three to four rounds. An initial screening covers your background and certification status, followed by a technical interview focused on your DR architecture decisions, RTO and RPO design, and tool experience. A final round typically includes a scenario exercise or plan walkthrough with the hiring manager and sometimes a cross-functional stakeholder. Some employers add a written assessment asking you to evaluate a sample plan or respond to a hypothetical outage.
Where can I find and apply to disaster recovery manager jobs?
You can find and apply to disaster recovery manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your specialization and experience level, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
