Job Summary
The Disaster Recovery Manager is responsible for establishing, implementing, and governing AEP's enterprise Disaster Recovery (DR) program. This role develops and maintains recovery policy, standards, governance processes, training, testing, and assurance activities to ensure technology recovery capabilities align with business continuity requirements and enterprise risk tolerance.

The role establishes consistent recovery requirements, oversees program effectiveness, and integrates DR expectations into technology lifecycle management, architecture reviews, application onboarding, cloud adoption, vendor resiliency, dependency mapping, and broader operational resilience activities.

  • Establish governance and minimum resilience requirements for cloud services, SaaS providers, managed service providers, and third-party technology vendors supporting critical business functions.
  • Manage integration of crown jewel, critical data, and cyber resilience requirements into enterprise DR standards, testing and assurance activities.
  • Develop and oversee the enterprise DR testing, validation, and assurance strategy, including test scope, frequency, success criteria, pass/fail expectations, scenario design, lessons learned, evidence retention, after-action reporting, and corrective action management.
  • Coordinate with Cybersecurity and Technology teams to incorporate ransomware, data corruption, cyber recovery, immutable backup, clean-room recovery, and forensic evidence considerations into recovery standards and exercises.
  • Manage KPIs, KRIs, executive dashboards, and reporting mechanisms to communicate DR readiness, program maturity, risks, gaps, exceptions, corrective actions, and audit/regulatory commitments.
  • Define and govern enterprise DR training standards, role-based readiness expectations, curriculum requirements, and governance controls to ensure training content aligns with DR policy, testing strategy, exercise outcomes, audit findings, and program maturity needs, while partnering with the designated training team for delivery and completion management.
